Sunak is very smart , Goldman Sachs don't employ idiots but the Tory membership is full of ex ukip and far right ex supporters so I'm not sure they will vote for an Asian , they will want a brexiter still , one untarnished by recent events and that's penny mordaunt , if she wants it
Whoever gets it will be hoping to limit the damage at the next election , things are not going to improve much , people blame the government when their lives have got worse , most likely result will be a hung parliament , it will be the lib dems who facilitate that , labour and the lib dems need to work together
" labour and the lib dems need to work together"
I've always been left of centre and voted Labour unless there was a tactical reason to do otherwise. However, over the last decade or so, what I have definitely become rather than a Labour supporter is an anti-Tory and even more so in the last 3 years of this scumbag's reign. As this latest government disintegrates before our eyes, my feelings now are that more or less any price to prevent the Tories from ever having absolute power again is probably worth paying. To put this into a practical plan, in my opinion, can only mean proportional representation. In other words, I'm willing to sacrifice the possibility of Labour ever having overall control to ensure that the Tories never do. So, if in the next GE the Tories do not have overall control, I want all the centre and left of centre parties to actively propose PR and once passed, the Tories can never reverse the decision if they never get overall control again. Hopefully, all those non-Tory parties will come to a similar conclusion and get it done. If I'm lucky, I've probably only got another 20 years left at best but I would want my children and grandchildren to live in a country that will never, ever again have to go through anything like the last 3 years with someone like the outgoing despot in charge.
