In the future, everyone will be PM for exactly 15 minutes. Except Jeremy Corbyn.

Truss was clearly advanced because they knew she'd gently caress up by simply pushing what they actually believe. Let the public despise her for a bit, a dingbat fallguy so the next terrible person (Boris? lol) would appear competent by comparison. Everything about her is just self-evidently ludicrous.

Also they attempted to give rishi the job by the final round being him and the worst possible candidate with all others eliminated first but they underestimated how much Tory party membership hates him

Her book is unhinged. She’s a dyed in the wool true believer, I’ll give her that.

When Rishi loses to BoJo in the runoff, will he stop running for PM once and for all...? :thunk:

hopefully Bojo realises he can do what he wants, gently caress it, and just kills everyone else in parliament and declares himself clown emperor

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

the lesson i've taken since, uh, 2016 or so is that anglo governments run purely on a bunch of conventions and unwritten rules of conduct and such, with nothing actually stopping someone from not caring about these rules and loving things up. you might even call it "decorum".

so yeah, i assume parliamentary systems work as you're assuming. the only thing stopping bad actors is decorum

name for me a government that this does not apply to

even when there are explicit rules and laws they can still be ignored whenever necessary. if someone else declares an action illegitimate afterward, well, so what?

I swear if bojo can hold on for long enough to be PM when trump is re-elected I will die a happy monkey.

Or I guess if he’s on his third or fourth stint as PM that would be fine, too.

Wait does he get multiple 115k payments per year for being PM more than once?

Yeah can't say im as hype for that because I think that's when the Brexit plans come to fruition and the NHS dies for real

Yeah the whole point of Brexit was to do it while trump was in power and we're extremely fortunate it didn't work out like that

It's a 115k allowance so it's not doubled up for multiple stints.

Had to be reminded of the reason they used to kick boris out. Wondering if this was all just because he wanted a long holiday
