Title: Only A Joke
Post by: Alex on November 06, 2023, 01:40:23 PM
Nigel Farage joked that he could be Tory Party Leader by 2026, it was only a joke but what would the UK look like with Farage in charge and who would he have as his right hand man  ? :grin:

It would look a damned sight better than it does now.  We'd finally have a strong leader who would support the majority of genuine British people, which is far from the case right now.

I believe that the majority of British people feel exactly this way, despite the outspoken minority who argue against traditional British values.

A right-hand man?  Well Jacob Rees-Mogg would be a good ally and appears to say sensible things in his comments.

Yes I agree JRM would be a good deputy and they seem to get on well.

He'd still have most of the party to fight to even get accepted as a member. Don't forget that he humiliated them in the Euro election.

There is no longer a Conservative Party left - just a few, so very few, who still are but the rest are a bunch of useless LibDem tossers.

Yes what a good pairing you suggest, but can it never happen with the Kensington Green Liberals prevailing as they do in what shamelessly presumes to still call itself the Conservative Party?

A truly cathartic shake down needs to take place following the next General Election. There hopefully a split manifests, with a new right of centre party like reform benefitting from decent Tory MP's consolidating with them. The Closet Liberals like, Goldsmith and Tobias et al can remain in 'The Conservative Party' as it rots away into the Green void that's fast approaching.

I can only agree.

The problem is the majority of voters!  Or perhaps miracles can really happen.

Probably the only way that can be possible is if the current Conservative party suffers a complete meltdown at the election. We know that Starmer (if he remains leader) and his happy band will turn our poor economic position into a catastrophe so just possibly something worthwhile wil rise from the ashes. Knowing our electorate though it would probably be the LibDems next with the Greens in opposition.

Yes, as I've said often, we get what we deserve.

Unfortunately, we the minority have to suffer it as well!   😨

By that time, Hamas won't have a country to lead so it could come and set up shop over here.  After all, it already seems to have a sizeable number of supporters here already.

Which just goes to show how far removed from the membership the parliamentary party has become.

absolutely - a bunch of self-seeking 'glory' hunters with the rush to net zero and sod those who suffer as a result

The Tories have only one thing going for them and that is Keir Starmer being the leader of the Labour party..  

 It is anyone's race with or without  Farage..

Well as our dear leader at the time, Theresa May, so clearly demonstrated in 2017 a 20 point lead can be squandered.

King's speech today so we'll know what they will be doing to put some sort of difference between their policies and Labour which look pretty much the same right now. If they want to reduce the Labour poll lead they'll need to announce some things that are popular, relevant to the masses, catch the imagination and are believable. A tall order given the state we are in after 13+ years of them being in government. Plus of course they'll need to deliver on that too.

It is their only hope.
The Conservative government has been infiltrated by so many undercover Liberals, that they are either unable or unwilling to restore Conservative values.
Right now, they are hoping that 'being nice' to the pro-Hamas protesters will resolve the danger of the Remembrance Day Parade being disrupted, and allowing the mob to take over Londonistan.

The reformation of the Conservative party to how it once was, and Nigel joining the ranks would certainly help, is the only hope for the future of this country.  Until that happens, I'm voting for Reform.

Remember: Londonistan today; the UK tomorrow.
