Tacky-Ass Rococco
Sep 7, 2010

by R. Guyovich
There's no question that, if answered honestly, a majority of the Commons would assert they have no confidence in this government. I wonder if even a majority of Tories have confidence? Or if the only unifying factor is fear of another election.

May is so screwed that if she embraced it she might have leverage. "Defying me means triggering a crisis and an election that we'll lose. Do so and be damned."

I thought I read somewhere that she has said this at some point, or at least that the dominant feeling in the tory party is genuine fear of a Corbyn government (because they may actually believe their own bullshit about his being a merciless Stalinist, rather than a mild-mannered centre left manhole enthusiast)

nah its extremely common for politicians to start beleiving their own propaganda
i think in the same way most tories have internalised that austerity was a cost saving measure not ideological asset stripping they have also convinced themselves that corbyn is genuinely the first step on the road to stalin/mao

see: free markets, compassionate conservatism, bipartisanship etc

like my only tory friend will go "hmmm theresa may is very bad, but i read a book about how mao killed millions" and its like.... what?

This is it exactly. The Tory party is made up of a combination of unrepentant old Cold Warriors and younger PPE aristocrats who have never known anything except Austrian economics and privilege. For both of these groups, Corbynite politics really do appear genuinely dangerous.

Which is why they're so, so appealing to the rest of us :getin:
