UK Politics Thread

What really condemned Corbyn was his ambiguous position towards Brexit. Hadn't he chickened out and instead adopted a transparent position, he would have performed much better, in my opinion.

Anyway, who do you think is going to succeed Boris in the leadership of the Tories? Michael Gove seems like the strongest candidate to me. Could also be Sunak; Javid, although internationally more famous, is less likely.

In the meantime, Baker (Tory version of Republican extremism) has also expressed his interest. His case is hopeless, thankfully.

Corbyn was a sub-normal IQ dumpster fire. He was too stupid to realise his ideals of nationalising everything he could lay his hands on would cause vast damage to the economy - equality for those too poor to flee the country for anywhere else.

On who is next I think that there's three classes:

• Optimists
• Chancers
• Strategists

The first think they can win, solve the problems that are endemic and get the populace to vote for them again in the next elections and either win or not screw up so much that they loose the position.
The second just want to be PM for a bit - one's name in the history books, the links it gives, meet the monarchy and a lifetime stipend.
The third will wait the disaster to end, possibly after the next election and then swoop in.
