Anna B Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I think the fact that there is no one decent to replace him, is what is keeping Boris in power. It certainly isn't his ability as leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Labour can milk the No 10 shindig as much as they like, but what else have they got? Bojo was elected as the best of a bad bunch and the Tories still crucified Labour at the ballot box. They need a Tony Blair, but are a bit thin on the ground in that area, Bojo can afford to just wait until things quieten down and lead his party into another victory.

Anna B Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) I don't know what the answer is. I don't blame people for not voting but it's all we've got. Maybe that's what's wrong. Our poncy style of government is antiquated and beset with archaic 'traditions' that foster a sense of undeserved entitlement and privilege. Does the House of Commons look like a suitable place of work for the 21st century? Have you seen the poor attendance at your average debate, with just a handful of MPs? It's pretty disgraceful. Let's shut it down, and keep it as a museum. Meanwhile build a decent up to date parliament building with the kind of built in tech other countries have, that can move swiftly to meet the challenges of the modern world. Let's have full time MPs who are obliged to come from the areas they represent, with no second jobs other than perhaps an annual period of secondment into a real place of employment where they can mix with the workforce and experience work as it is really lived, or just live in a community different to their own background to enhance their understanding and increase their perspective. Finally, do away with the 'House of Lords' and have a second house of chosen and elected representatives who can do their job, and maybe includes a balance of some 'ordinary' people who work at the coal face; teachers, nurses, policemen, solicitors, etc. Just ideas, I'm sure other people will add their own, but let's get the kind of leadership we need and deserve.
