Rory, failure not to succumb to the temptation of becoming what you were is not, is your greatest success. Although you may appear to be lost to the British politics, you never lost yourself! Many politicians haven’t even got the self to lose.
Has anyone else ever seen a politician who is so frank about what politics is like? I am an American. I have never heard someone who has explained publicly what being a politician is like.
@TheBlazingRedcoat.. You scare me ! You are absolutely typical of the impressionable voters who are still looking for heroes - people who will do their thinking for them. Think Boris Johnson, Margaret Thatcher - natural dictators both. This shows a decline in our faith in democracy - an achievement for which people gave their lives. In principle Rory Stewart is no different from the others. The Party that was always going to crash Britain in the interest of their tribe. He belongs to the tribe (and they will rally behind him) A man of conscience would have rebelled much earlier. His latest move looks just like old-fashioned opportunism. The Tories are f****d. . The field is wide open - so in he comes. His first task ? Attack Labour from a new and privileged position. The Media love it: they sense a new star. Tory voters are just an audience, ,waiting for a sparkling novelty act.
No , that was Jeremy Corbyn, I’ve obviously strayed into a foreign land. That said, I do consider Rory Stewart to be a man of integrity who has a depth of experience and knowledge, particularly of the Middle East that is well worth listening to.
Oh dear. 'lurched' and 'populism.' I recommend the Oxford Union debate with Winston Marshall and Nancy Pelosi on the topic of populism. Pelosi revealed the 'liberal' mindset. What 2016 on laid bare was the disparity between the values of the ordinary people of a country and their supposed 'representatives' and a project which is profoundly undemocratic.
@@noneofyourbizness There was NO hint of confession here. This was just “No Gov - straight up ! It wasn’t me. I wasn’t even there. I was with my Nan in A&E. I can bring a note….” Rory’s note would be worth looking at. Shall we ever see it ?
I think the interviewee could have added something about how creepiness and dishonesty are related to vocal tone. It sounds like he wanted to say something about political speech and the air in a room.
The depressing state of affairs in parliament Rory describes stems directly from FPTP. The dynamic that prevails is the Westminster political class dancing to the tune of the madcap in every respect FPTP system. Without moving to proper PR nothing much is likely to change.
How true! In this election Labour could get 38% of the vote and a 200 seat majority. This winner takes all system is not democracy but domination for 5 long years. It encourages soft corruption, arrogance and an our way or the highway attitude.
Tom Holland is an excellent historian and multiple history book author. He runs the Rest is History podcast, while Rory does Rest is Politics. @@nickyleach

Well said. These people just don’t get it do they
Rory for PM.
Check our description with part 2, 3, 4 of our videos with Rory Stewart.
Videos are listed as PRIVATE.
We can’t see other parts, as they are private. Why not just upload it all as one video?
@joaocoelho2929 It would seem that the uploaders cannot be bothered to monitor this comment section for feedback. Very strange.
@@Archimedes_1 I'm sure they'll look when thry notice the other parts are getting no views, likes, and comments lol
'Politicians Become Creepy and Dishonest'. I don't know how you can show your face so much after a confession like that!
confession or observation ?

Tories need Rory if they are to have a future, it seems...
Why? Might as well just join the LibDems.
An ergonomically uncomfortable set: terrible chairs and their having to hold mikes looks awkward and makes for inconsistent sound quality.
And there speaks the creepiest of them all.

Because German politics isn't even more dishonest and creepy? As far as democracy goes we have nothing to learn from the EU.
Lol.
Take those hand mics away from them and put a lapel mic on them. There is no need for 1950s tech here.
Rory Stewart a man who helped with the destruction of a once great party.
Although a thank you for the rise of a new party Reform
God help , Party its no party

So says the best mate of Alastair Campbell.
Nuff said.
Who is Tom?
I wondered, too. Tom Holland, a historian, apparently; not the actor.
@@nickyleach Thank you.

The disparity between the opinion of Rory in these comments compared to his Triggernometry is staggering.
Tell us again how many years you accepted payment from the state for do jobs you knew you were unqualified for?
I don't think that's true at all. Modern politics attracts people who are dishonest and creepy. And yes I include Rory Stewart in that.
No just you Rory
Vote REFORM to bring structure and sanity back to the UK.
Honest question, why do you believe reform will bring structure or sanity?
Never
Clown once a Tory always a Tory talks about his self all the time Yuk voted with them on policies just making money now tedious
Vote REFORM. This man is an attention seeker.
Rory Stewart is no conservative he’s an illiberal undemocrat at best
