MikeCrotch posted:Priti Patel would be able to absolutely whip the Tory base into a lather but she's just too vindictive and cruel to be able to hide it and would turn a bunch of people off. Liz Truss has a better chance because she's better at being able to portray that endless optimism like Boris that people just loving lap up. Yeah, they're both dumb as hell but Patel's mean and spiteful dumb, whereas Truss is happy, upbeat dumb. I'd actually like to see Truss as PM for a bit, 'cos it'd be loving hilarious.

Tories are more likely to accept a nonwhite/male or even posh leader because they know anyone who's been allowed to advance to that position is a stalwart, dead-eyed defender of the status quo. Liberals can't extend that kind of trust.

Because I dug it out for the discord, labour mostly voted against the 3rd reading of the voter ID bill: With 23 abstaining:  https://votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/Division/1197 although it says that there's a vote discrepancy which is usually an mp not scanning their card properly or something, so some of those abstains might get corrected at some point gonadic io has issued a correction as of 15:12 on Jan 18, 2022 |

I mean one of the main differences is that Truss is much more beloved by the Tory selectorate, in part because Truss has never had to get her hands dirty and show how SEND BACK THE BOTES/GLORIOUS BREXIT BRITANE is a sham

gonadic io posted:why on earth are they blaming the red wall mps specifically Because "they only got elected off the back of Boris". A lot of the "Red Wall" Tories are not diehard Tories, like, they are recent members & didn't grow up in the SPAD/think tank/university Tory society nest because they never really expected to beat Dennis Skinner (& seriously, Bolsover voting Tory is still far & away the biggest shock in British politics in my life, nevermind Michael Portillo or the Tories losing all their Scottish MPs in 1997) so they aren't all necessarily complete zombies who just do what they are told, like good backbenchers should. Obviously they are still loving scummy cunts but there's a mite of individual thought at least. Southpaugh posted:boris isn't going anywhere you idiots I don't know, they seem fairly confident that Boris has lost the support of at least 54 of his MPs, & if there's a leadership challenge that he doesn't win with a solid majority he'll find that a lot of the people in his cabinet will be desperate to re-enact Caesar's last moments in the Senate. forkboy84 has issued a correction as of 00:17 on Jan 19, 2022 |
