Fewer than 200,000

Less than 200,000 Nasty Party members will decide who our next PM will be!
How can that be right?

And how many of them get out into the neighbourhoods to listen to our grievances.
They are not intelligent enough to pick the right person.

Let's just be thankful were not voting for a Labour candidate

It happened when Tony Blair resigned we got Gordon Brown as PM without a say. That’s how it works.

There is no nasty party, only nasty people, the vast majority of people and MPs are dece human beings. As in all walks of life there are regrettably some nasty people.

And the press spent the next three years saying he was in charge with no mandate from the people.

... and he and Labour Party members took notice and immediately called a General Election... 3 years later!
That said, this situation is entirely different in nobody was questioning GB integrity/honesty or being fit for purpose.

I'm not saying that was right either. The fact remains that Boris was elected with a mandate for a specific set of policies. Each candidate has said they'll u turn on them.

I understand that viewpoint... as BJ and his government have been so vigorously opposed by yourself... maybe it’s for the better ...sorry I couldn’t resist a little prod at the hornets nest...

Maybe we should storm Parliament and take over.

Conservative leadership race: Five contenders left standing - and now, they'll go head-to-head in live TV debates

The contest to become the UK's next prime minister enters a new day, but this time the Conservative leadership hopefuls will have to appeal to the public.

What‘s the point in a live TV stand off when the public don‘t get a vote

Seems like a pointless showdown to me.

Ultimately, one of them will become PM so it will be nice to see how they react under questioning.

I get that, but we can’t impact the outcome at this point so we’d find out how they actually perform in office before we get a say anyway

I agree. I'm just quite partial to horror shows.

I will watch it to be fair. But it’s just another xfactor for politics vehicle isn’t it really.

Why, are you one of those who'll vote for the Tory leader...ie. a member of the Conservative and Unionist Party?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

What makes you think any6body other than party members should choose the next leader?

It's a fair point. Representative politics is lost on some people.

 

[Hertsseasider]

What a bunch of back stabbing gits. Promising things they have spent years fighting against. Hopeless the lot of them.

There is no nasty party, only nasty people, the vast majority of people and MPs are dece human beings. As in all walks of life there are regrettably some nasty people.

Which is why we should make a government of the people with all views, left, middle and right.
This first past the post system isn't making life better.
A government made up of the best people, the most intelligent people, that actually represents the voting patterns of the country is the way forward.
It would unite us and make us stronger and I ** hope Liz Truss is nowhere near it but Tugenhadt, Sunak, Badenoch might have something to offer.

 

[southshorepool]

7 trillion nerves in the human body and Truss managed to get on all of them.
As an outsider, I didn't mind Tom Tugenhadt (he's a military man apparently but he hides it well) or Mordaunt too much. There's an inner anger in Kemi and Sunak's a **.

Good post. I agree about the inner anger in Badenoch.
