thatfoxyfeeling 13,427 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Brexit and Boris... Australia is just as bad re-electing Scott Morrison. I'm moving to New Zealand., Jacinda is class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotyourbabe10 6,120 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 FFS, we live in a global village and multicultural world. This reversion to nationalism and phobia of the "other" is really disappointing. Can I exit the simulation yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doppelganger 4,022 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Every time I think my country's politics is bad, I think of the UK and feel immediately blessed. Nice knowing you, United Kingdom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle 14,068 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Boris Johnson is going to end like Theresa May in less than two years. Probably less if there isn't a Brexit option on October 31st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 53 minutes ago, Ziggy said: Theresa May was not a very good leader, that's true, but I think she was dumped into a very very difficult situation where she was pretty much set up to be a failure. I mean, when you have about 50-50 split on Brexit *and* the Brexiteers don't have a consensus on what they want from a Brexit it's going to be difficult to reach your potential. I know that's a bit of a simplification and May was by no means perfect or very good, but I just think that she is not really in the same boat as the other 3 who got into office under different circumstances. She got elected because she is a puppet and she resigned because she is a puppet. People are sick of puppets. The three others were also puppets but much better actors.

Zander 14,944 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Tbh none of the British political parties have anybody decent leading them at the moment. They’re all pretty hopeless. In the conservative leader election he was really the best their was out of a bad bunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Laurent 4,862 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I sincerely hope that there is a General Election soon (preferably with the Labour Party having a Leadership Election prior to that happening). I cannot see how a politician such as Boris Johnson will be able to appeal to the masses and make any type of positive contribution to our country's politics. EDIT: This, by the way, is coming from a Conservative supporter (prior, of course, to the chaos that has ensued in the Party following the referendum).

GagaIsDope 679 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Just a bit of extra information for anyone who was wondering. Boris Johnson did not become prime minster by a general election. He was elected by just under 139,000 Conservative party members because the previous prime minister, Theresa May, resigned. That number represents about 0.2% of the population of the UK.

The pressure that politicians are under these days is much more complex. I don’t think she was particularly bad. But she wasn’t particularly anything. Blair was far more gutless. Cameron far more ruthless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
