^ Yeah, like the US mid-terms mean bugger all. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
Let me guess, the MP that told you this rubbish was a pre-Brexit Tory with a comfy majority in a traditionally 'blue' constituency?
...and you believed him.
Well actually his political persuasion regarding Brexit or not has absolutely nothing to do with his comments, but as man who believes what he stands for and was offering advice to a then fledging local politician ( me ) . Which I took as a compliment , those comments were backed up by others who knew him and his peers including IDS . But that is irrelevant .
Those who attempt through ridicule to demonise current politicians , unless they are willing to even begin to enter the political fray personally, really have no idea what they are talking about . Do you Tam eh !!
I didn't realize it wasn't cricket to "ridicule" or "demonize current politicians". Sorry about that. So let me do it to someone who so obviously didn't make the cut.
I didn't realize we had (another) self-proclaimed wannabe member of the UK parliament in our midst. Did you lose your deposit as well? Or was it more of a 'close but no coconut' sort of thing?
You seriously think that once a government gets elected, they don't need to pay much attention to the by-elections that crop up along the way? This shows that the dynamics of the nimble British voting demographic can quickly undo the benefits of 'buying' a bunch of red votes a couple of years ago. Yes, Brexit got done but that opens the door to the inevitable, "Thanks for that. Now what else can you do for us apart from ramming Hank Wanksock down our throats?"
Do you think that Johnson will swat away the
25% swing from the Conservatives at Chesham and Amersham like an annoying fly? A mere blip on the radar?
Let me rephrase that... Bojo probably doesn't see the relevance as he strides selflessly towards an early election so he can give up the premiership as 'too hard' with some degree of grace. It's believe it's called 'doing a Cameron'? I imagine there's a spike in activity and chat within the membership of the 1992 Committee right now as they cast about for their new 'best of a bad bunch' pick for the top job.
