Four By-Elections Looming Ahead.

[gulliver1]

The odds are that the Tories will lose every single one of them.
With the Boris Pantomime , the disastrous outcome of Brexit,the worst fall in living standards in a generation. High food prices, crippling energy bills, high fuel prices. Mortgage repayments going sky high, and the Economy stagnating .Why would you ever want to vote Tory again in your lifetime.

[Gromit]

I reckon they could hold a couple. But yes, they really are knifing Sunak.
Self inflicted wounds from cultists not real Tories.

[Bobbisox1]

And they still have a majority, think about it Gulliver ;0)

[Gromit]

Bobbiesox
They have been an appalling Government for 3 years. Achieving nothing, in fighting and all with a 74+ majority. All very odd.

[Old_Geezer]

We will see when the time comes. By elections tend to be more protest than supportive, but you never know, looking at the alternatives.

[Bobbisox1]

Sorry Gromit but the alternative is far more scary

[Gromit]

Think it is only 3.
Nadine has changed her mind and not resigned.

Tell me why you care/worry who we should vote for in our lifetime? Does it affect you and who will you vote for in the GE yet to come?

[KristalBee]

I seriously don’t know if Labour would have done a better job considering the circumstances leading to the present crisis we have. However, I think they would have done it with more integrity. Tories will get stuffed at the next elections. People have long memories, especially when they are remembering boris partying away while they could not spend the last hours of their loved ones lives beside them

[Old_Geezer]

Not so very odd Gromit.

Time was when political difference was between left and right ideologies, but for some time now it's been more centred around EUphiles vs EUphobes (the latter being the side with valid justification).

It's more odd that all political parties do not seem equally split between patriots and others, but I have to guess many parties ideology can't involve doing what is necessary for the nation, but rather must contain a desire to ask an external power to tell their nation what they must do instead.

[Old_Geezer]

And I see the utterly irrelevant 'partygate' dragged up again. If that's the best reason one has for deciding who is least worse to be in charge, then we are all doomed.

[KristalBee]

If you think ‘partygate’ was irrelevant then you are as bad as them. You may hold different views if a loved one died alone because of boris’s unnecessary rules that he was quick to break for his own enjoyment.

[Hymie]

The current Tory government (from 2010 onwards) has undoubtedly been the worst UK government during my lifetime.

And yet there are any number of ABers who are vocal in their support for everything they have done or are proposing to do.

I have a feeling that they are the same people who think Brexit a fantastic success for the UK, and if they were asked – they would confirm that the earth is flat, the moon landings were faked and Elvis is still alive.

[lankeela]

Rude

[KristalBee]

It’s the equivalent of putting your fingers in your eyes while humming lalala!

[Hymie]

I have no other explanation for the support people are giving this government.

[gulliver1]

Hymie 21.30 Best Answer... Good truthful answer.

[gulliver1]

Has this stupid Nadine Dorries Resigned or hasn't she.
Lets get Boris and Dorries done .

[Old_Geezer]

As I have mentioned elsewhere. The way the pandemic was reacted to is a totally different subect, so trying to mix it with the clearly irrelevant 'partygate', which, in the main, is about Boris rivals having a go and just flinging things at the fan, not caring who got hit, is an invalid argument.

And a lot of recent upsetting of folk who lost relatives to Covid is precisely due to those same individuals who were flinging at the fan opting to tie the behaviour of those deemed to not be compiling with the restrictions with the loss of relatives; and not caring a jot who got hurt as long as they had a go at Boris. Shame on them. And those who supported those appaling tactics are clearly as bad as they are.

[10ClarionSt]

Never trust a Tory!

[Gromit]

// partygate', which, in the main, is about Boris rivals having a go and just flinging things at the fan //

Totally wrong.

Partygate is about rule breaking. Boris imposed rules which in the main the rest of us obeyed. Boris broke his own rules on numerous occasions, and was found out and fined by the Police.
But he compounded that by lying about it to everyone. If he lies to me I expect it, he is a politician and they are often economical with the truth. But he lied to MPs and Parliament which is a very serious offence.
The consequences, losing his Premiership, losing the Inquiry, losing his seat, were entirely down to his own contempt for the people and the standards of office.
