Hey Phibes! Whaddya think about a Truss?
-
They really ought to call a general election now, and let the people vote to decide the leader of the country, rather than a very small group of Tories.
Obviously, that would lead the Conservatives trying to find a leader who can win an election, which might be a bit of a struggle.

This is pretty much David Cameron's fault.
Of course, he's off somewhere raking in the money for doing sweet FA.
Governing by referendum is a really bad idea.
I was only joking

I think you are right.
As far as I’m concerned referenda have no place in Parliamentary governance.

In Cameron's case it was him trying to placate the right wing of the party in case they defected to UKIP. He should have told them to FOAD.

“Liz Truss fights for survival as even allies say she could have only days left”
LOL. And they say the US is dysfunctional.

Over lunch, somebody said to me that this instability is the big disadvantage of parliamentary systems.
I felt obliged to point out that they get to keep really shitty leaders for at least 4 years, and somehow this is an improvement?

Well, at least you know what you'll have for four years as opposed to a surprise
whenever they feel like itevery so often. -

That explains the US suicide rate.

@George-K there's no question who would win an election at this point.
To be honest, I think it's high time the Tories were kicked out. They've done a bloody awful job of late, and since Labour got rid of the Corbyn brigade, they should be a better bet. Keir Starmer is seemingly a charisma-free zone, but charisma didn't seem to help Boris much in governing.

Keir Starmer for some reason, reminds me of the late Desmond Llewelyn - the original Q in Bond movies. Not only facially but voice and mannerisms as well. Couldn’t place it for the longest time until this morning when he was on the BBC giving the Tories a right bollocking for their ineptitude at governing.

Only @bachophile will get this.

Paraphrasing Piers Morgan (who also echo'ed @Doctor-Phibes ' comment about terrible leaders) said that if BoJo is chosen as PM there will be a rush of Brits trying to immigrate to the US for the relative calm and stability of American politics.
