Political Discussions And Ranting Thread

Both the Conservatives and Labour are now both uneasy coalitions and Brexit has shot a bolt right through party politics I think now is the time where we have to reconsider the current voting system and introduce a form of Proportional Representation. It will free up the wings of the parties that disagree with each other to breakaway and we might get a more grown up approach to coalition. Politically the distance between Kier Starmer and Ken Clarke is a lot shorter than it is between Kier Starmer and Jeremy Corbyn or Ken Clarke and Suella Braverman -

I agree it looks like a good primary line up but they are also including some of the Gogglebox cast which could be really cringeworthy -

The format of this game should actually depend on how good the music is because there is a definite and finite group. You have to choose which ones to promote or kick down. Sometimes it is finding the best of a bad lot but I have learnt quite a bit about eras that passed me by- 1,941 replies

Ten songs left - Only four go through The bottom six songs have between them 163 which means there is a minimum of 28 posters before the round ends but more likely it will be around 80 posters At 20 posts a day this will take us to Tuesday- 1,941 replies

The current Conservative Party is a uneasy coalition of One Nation Tories and Brexit/Culture War nutters. They only stay together because neither one wants to give up the activist base (which is needed come election time). In a recent council by-election in my constituency the Conservatives won (albeit on a very low turnout) -

Michael Portillo was meant to be the shining knight for the Tory Party who was going to shake them up and make them a credible opposition to New Labour but he lost his seat on that night in 1997. Most people outside the Tory party thought that Ken Clarke was the sensible choice for leader (especially after Michael Heseltine's Heart Attack) but for the party he was too pro-European so they went with the untested William Hague (who might have made a good successor to one of the names above but he was plunged in too quickly) for these decisions they spent 13 years in opposition. However we don't know whether Clarke would have been able to put up a credible fight at the 2001 election which hardly saw any seats change hands from Labour to Conservative. As to members of the cabinet who elicit respect. The discussion around who will lead the party after the election does not throw up names that inspire confidence. A lot will depend on the size and make-up of the rump of Conservative MPs left and who would want the job. By saying Penny Mordaunt sounds like the best of a bad bunch is really just demonstrating how bad things are
