Apparently, he backed Rishi for PM, so maybe he'll take some 'chancelloring' lessons from Rishi, who didn't do too awful a job as chancellor - I think.

Yes , Rishi did a reasonable job ….at least you felt like he knew what he was doing .

Or maybe he'll do a Rishi and stab the PM in the back in the hope of taking up the mantle
Wouldn't trust any of them as far as I could throw them

But as such, Suricat, we don't DIRECTLY elect  the Prime Minister. We elect a political party and the party elects a leader who then becomes PM. Yes, we generally know who the leader of each party is before the election, but we are usually electing the party on their manifesto and hoping/expecting THEIR elected leader to do a decent job.

Er, I tnink you have this a bit 'back to front' EFFT.

'A party' elects 'a leader' to 'promote a/the party' into a 'general election'. The 'electorate' then decides 'which party' has the 'power' to implement/enforce their 'mandate'!

Without the/that 'mandate' of 'the electorate' the 'party in power' can't 'democraticaly officiate any "change" in/to its policies'! Any changes in 'policy' following a/the 'party's election' of a 'new party leader' is just UNDEMOCRATIC without the 'mandate' of 'the population' in a 'general election'!

In 'hindesight', the 'Blear Years' probably restricted 'democracy' by imposing the 'same party' within the 'five year survival' of/for any 'elected party'.

Let's face it. Boris couldn't contain the 'discontent' within 'his party', thus, 'the party' wasn't 'content' with their leader and the 'mandate' that 'the party' was 'elected upon' is in not only in question by the electorate, its also questioned by the electoral commision.

Just now, I'm half asleep. Please let me know if my post makes any sense.

Feck sake I'm going to have to say it.



There's nothing worse than pedantic. The clock is ticking and we're all on countdown. I'll defend Fluffs anyday.



Don't educate us suricat - we're probably pretty well clued up.

I wouldn't presume to 'educate' you @velvet donkey, I just tried to add to the invitation that you offered for my inclusion in this thread.

If you want, I'll leave.

Don’t go Suricat ….all views are welcome here .



You couldn’t make up what’s happening today , could you ? Never in all my 50 plus years watching politics  have I seen the like . If Truss has a shred of  conscience  she would resign immediately , and call a bliddy election!
