So who will be the next PM?

[Ant]

He's a true leader, statesman with courage and strength

Seriously, you need your meds changing.

Nothing needs changing other than this notion that people feel they must change someone's mind. We all have our own opinions, if you disagree, then vote differently to how I do.

[Ant]

I realsie

You what?

He's a true leader, statesman with courage and strength. But add money to the mix and the bitterness of the opposition comes through with hate and spite.

It's like conversing with a robot that's been programmed by a five year old.

Of course it is. I have a different view to you and you have an intolerance to that. Fascism is still well alive in modern politics.

If you genuinely believe what you wrote above about Johnson and weren't just trolling, then my response is partly to feel sorry for you and partly disbelief.

We live in a democratic world, you don't need to feel sorry for me. You have your vote and I have mine, that's how it works. Politics shouldn't work in a way where you're more concerned with how I think. Focus on your own view and don't impose it on others.

1. We live in a pseudo-democratic world. If you think that what we have in the UK is a democracy, I have some beachfront property in the Peak District you might be interested in.
2. I am not 'more concerned with how you think', if indeed that means anything.
3. I am not imposing anything on anyone. I'm participating in a forum discussion, as are you.

Dear $deity-of-choice, that's some stinky bait.

Err it could be argued that the entire basis of politics IS imposing your own view on others.

[Ant]

Well you are, you're telling me that I'm wrong. As Hitchens says.....

No it's not. You're always entitled to your own view.

Penny Mordaunt has withdrawn from the leadership race which leaves Sunak as the last man standing.

[JackyJoll]

Richie Rich!

[DefTrap]

Nice to see the government actually agree about something for a change.

Seems he’s some sort of Hindu.

Does that mean all the Moslem voters will hate him?

Ah yes, religion, the superstitious curse inflicted on modern civilisation inherited from before the Age of Enlightenment.

[weeksy]

Awesome, religion and politics all in 1 thread, this has legs.

Indeed, Hindus and Muslims have history especially after the 1947 partition of India into modern day India (a so-called Hindu State) and Pakistan (a so-called Muslim State).

[cheb]

Yea, but what football team does he support?

I realsie you're not serious but there is a serious point to be made.

There is no natural leader in the Conservative Party. There doesn't appear to be one in the Labour Party either or anywhere in Parliament.

Serious question: why would a "natural leader" go into current day politics?
