  1. =========================================
    Create an egalitarian professional political class
    =============================================
    and you unleash a global scrum for power at any cost,
    devoid
    of ability,
    of love of country,
    and of care for one's own people.

    Which is why,
    after the dismally "conservative" marxists labelled Tory,
    we now have a Trotskyist Prime Minister,
    and an even worse rabble f talentless "leaders".

    As Sir Sheer Charmless is on record as saying,
    Davos is more important to him
    than Westminster.

    They ALL get their instructions
    from abroad,
    as part of the global agenda.

    /

  2. This guy nailed it, with comments about "talentless people" doing things for their personal interest instead of the national interest.
    This is EXACTLY what is wrong with most of what we see with politics; politicians just looking out for themselves rather than the country they claim to love and serve.

  3. "The damage they have done to our party is just extraordinary". Our party – not our country, eh? Who cares about the country as long as "our party" is ok. So glad they're finally gone.

  4. Jackie Long: Former prime minister gone, Theresa May’s seat is gone, David Cameron’s seat gone. I mean, the level and the nature of this defeat is enormous, isn’t it?

    Sir Charles Walker: It’s huge. I think it’s the greatest defeat the Conservative Party has ever suffered in its history. Now, I think we can come back from it, but that’s going to require a huge amount of discipline over the weeks, months and years ahead. I’m just not sure my party has the capacity to demonstrate discipline. (they don't have the capacity)

  5. if you were interested in national interests and welfare of nation you wouldn't be a tory. Tory is the party of selfish greed.

    In general Conservative party has only made society worse barring few issues concerning national security like Falkland war.

  6. They have shown a complete inability to guage and serve the needs of the country, personal interests followed by party , with country interests a poor third.
    No mandate to continue as things stand.

  7. Truss only lost because of Deform.

    Her constituents are right wing nut jobs. Without Deform, she’d have romped it.

    The results are scary. The country just got fed up with chaos, but it is lurching rightwards. 😱

  8. I'm nearly 65 years old. Every Conservative government in my lifetime has collapsed under the strain of infighting, disunity and disloyalty. These people never learn. "If history doesn't repeat itself, what is the point of studying it?"
