Well, at least there might be an actual contest this time. Last time was more like a game of Cluedo. It was Theresa May, in the Home Office, with a big electronic dirtbook.

Savid must not have the passwords. Trump’s orders.

A little analysis / fact checking from that “debate” last night

The most worrying bit is that we were treated to five different levels of fuckwit discussing their self-created clusterfuck for an hour, during which most of them made-up stuff or ignored questions, and the people who are going to decide our future, they thought it was brilliant! :dizzy_face:
I’ve seen interviews with Conservative members saying how great everyone was - apart from the one bloke who didn’t try to bribe them with tax cuts but tried to inject some reality, they fucking hated him!
The bloody realist with all his fancy plans to finance the NHS for 15 years - and his snowflake suggestions that vaguely shouting ‘I believe in Britain’ wasn’t as good as having an actual plan…
His mistake was not pandering to those who froth at the mouth - and his confession that he didn’t want to make promises he couldn’t keep - well, what a fucking loser!
Personally, I thought Boris was vague and dodged questions, Hunt was weak and missed the opportunity to get the Southampton builder to look after his secret Ocean Village property portfolio.
Shallow Gove was so desperate to woo the walking dead he flirted with libel, it was both shallow and sickly, while Javid was so out of his depth he should have called the fucking coastguard.
And that clear agreement for an independent enquiry will never happen - they might as well have signed that pledge on the side of the no.11 bus to Woolston.
It reminded me very much of the last ten years - you no longer need policies, all you need is prepared excuses for why you have broken all of your election promises - with them nailed down you can ignore reality and promise the fucking moon on a stick. #strongandstable
We’re very much in the promising phase at the moment.

But like I said, the saddest bit is that there are people in this country who were impressed by what they saw last night - and they will decide our future.
I hear a handcart on the horizon…

No glory for Rory the Tory.

Rory the Tory came across better than most Tories in that contest, but that really isn’t saying much. Unfortunately for him, he seemed to be rocking up with the same policy as Theresa May, the same deal that failed three times before.

Gove was reported as in talks with Stewart before his elimination, trying to do a deal. I wonder if something like that might happen between now and tomorrow’s ballot.

Perhaps he used this contest simply to set out his stall and raise his profile before the next general election following BoJo fucking it all up - as is widely expected…maybe.

I liked Stewart - yeah he sounds posh and yeah he looks weird but he has some originality and honesty (as far as any of them can) about him that the others lacked. Not sure his have another go with Theresa’s deal was a vote winner.

This was all about the next contest when the winner inevitably fucks this up

And now that Raab has gone - bet Boris says sod all about no deal brexits again

Wrong thread i know, but do you think we’ll end up with a no deal?
I still do and that’d make the American the favourite.

No - because they will never get it through parliament - there are enough MPs on the Tory side who would rather take the govt down and risk 5 yrs of Corbyn than leave.

This is why we have been fucked from the start. The EU knows this and has used this, leaking merrily because they want the acrimony. If this was down behind closed doors and with a credible threat of no deal, I suspect the EU would have been more amenable. As it stands, the EU banked on us beating ourselves and we have so far

We’ll have to disagree then. We now have a date don’t we, that the EU have said is the end. I’ve always thought it’s been a slow grind to that eventuality, but Stewart with his royal and SS connections did make me wonder(Mays deal), but it’s the American or cunt/gove(no difference) and there’s only one way we’re heading with any of them as far as i can see. They’ve all been playing up for the yanks and the one with the passport probably has the lead.
How high the inbred idiots are prepared to sell the rest of us is the worry.
