All the easy jocularity, the contemptuous sneering, all the smugness. It radiates from his face. He looks, sounds, and acts like a liar to me. He clearly doesn't give a damn about ordinary people. I don't see how people can be such suckers when it comes to him.

    It's not the scandals that will break the Tories, although they do not help. It is the fact that they broke the promise they made on various issues important to the voters, including immigration, rehabilitating the North, better law enforcement, reforming NHS, growing the economy, and, above all, BREXIT. Instead they went left, with the lockdown and net zero. Is it any wonder that Reform is doing so well?

Meanwhile Boris and Rishi were ignoring the rules they themselves had made. That creates a level of anger that the usual Tory lies and incompetence can't match.

    The really important scandal is that it is lawful to bet on anything nowadays such as the date of an election, who will score the next point in a game of tennis and who will score the first goal in a football match when previously all all you bet on was the result of the election and the final result in a game of tennis or football. Problem gambling is an increasing problem for society, as is greed when some people think they can make money when they have inside information on the date of the next election.

  • @robc7162
    @robc7162 3 месяца назад

    Interesting how they focus on the drop in Labour vote share, yet in the same week there have been other polls showing Labour with a 23 point lead. I do think we need to understand that these polling companies treat their results very differently from each other. That's why we should really stop the polling during an election because it risks influencing the outcome of the election. i.e. some pollsters may be more concerned about satisfying who they are producing the polls for, i.e. newspapers etc.

  • @johnreveley2625
    @johnreveley2625 3 месяца назад

    I am pleased that you have brought up the issue of the ‘Parties’, this was probably the main thing that brought down Boris Johnson. The media was quick to latch onto the Tory parties that Boris ‘lied’ about.
    The simple unspoken truth is that Downing Street it is not a small house where the PM and Chancellor live, it is a very big building stretching behind the part the public sees, it employs around 450 people, the majority of staff in 10 Downing Street are civil servants. Civil servants are non-partisan professionals who work for the government regardless of which political party is in power. They provide continuity and expertise in various administrative and policy areas, ensuring the effective functioning of the government. Civil servants (should) maintain political neutrality and continue their roles even as different parties assume office.
    The ‘parties’ that were reported and lead to Boris Johnsons demise were very likely to be with people from all political sides, I would suggest they were not ‘Tory’ parties, Boris Johnson was ambushed into protecting his staff on what was perceived to be the Tories having parties.
    So my view is that, at worse, Boris Johnson was trying to protect his staff (regardless of their political views) and at best, probably he hadn’t known that they had taken place, other than the one or two incidents that he was pictured in (parties, really?) after all it is big place and his accommodation was well out of the way of the offices. Most people would accept that he hadn’t organized any of the events himself.
    For me, deciding to have a ‘party’ at that time was a completely bonkers idea, UNLESS of course you were so p****d off about Brexit and Boris that you saw an opportunity bring him down, armed with an iPhone to film the shenanigans.
    I certainly know of one or two who have made no secret about plotting to get him out and have made it clear that their intention is to get us back in the EU (even if that means trashing their own party).

    This comparison between 'Vote Share' and actual seats gained really emphasises the absolute necessity of establishing Proportional Representation in this country. The last election brought the Tories to power, but they didn't have the mandate of the whole country - they were a minority party in terms of 'Vote Share' but were still given power. The same happened when Thatcher got her third electoral win - the demographic showed that she had no votes in Scotland or Wales, nor the north of England - yet she still retained power. That is not democracy - and the Tories would never implement PR because they know they would never have power again - and power is all they crave - that and feathering their own nests, as this programme reveals.

      Whatever gave you the idea the 'United' Kingdom is a democracy? We're actually an English feudal kleptocracy, just like Russia, North Korea and other corruptly run totalitarian states, in which the right-wing kleptocratic establishment convince people of an illusion of democracy through their wholly-owned media.

    As a small mercy I thank the fact that in this country the period from prorogation to ballot is relatively short. Frankly everyone seems desperate to drum up some drama about what I think most people regard as a foregone conclusion - but there isn't enough time for it to get really wild. It wouldn't have made any difference waiting to call an election in November or even calling it any time in the past two years. The Conservatives are suffering from incumbency senescence and Starmer seems to have got Labour to a point where they don't scare the horses. I don't think it's unfair to say the Conservatives didn't win the last few elections, Miliband and Corbyn lost them.
