Two elections

In order to be elected leader of the Conservative and Union party, both candidates must pander to the Brexit fantasies of its membership, where everything is still in the 1950s and the Empire still rules the world.

A worldview that takes into account nothing of so-called experts.

So, to be elected, Truss and Rishi must promise to do all what Johnson did, but harder with more cruelty.

Once elected, one of them will have to face the reality, the reality that Brexit involves compomise and negotiations.

That what sounds good when speaking to the windowlickers is poison to exports, the economy and national interest.

One had hoped that common sense would have broken through by now, but as we have been waiting for the six years since the referendum for that, and its still not cut through, I suppose another few months or years is fine.

For the new leader there is the crisis of Brexit, COVID, Russia and the cost of living.

Sunak is the most compitent, but is poison to the national electorate as he was fined for attending Johnson's birthday party.

Truss barely knows her own name, and is donning Thatcher's "fashions" to pander to the Party membership.

John asked me which one of the two I preferred.

I refused to choose as I don't have a vote.

But you have to choose one, he said.

No I don't, they're both shit.

And there we are.

Up shit creek without a shit paddle.

And at the end of the day, are either one of them electable? I don't think so, not with the cost of living crisis coming this winter. The Tories have been in power twelve years and all the blame for the crisis is with them. On top of that, they took the country out of the EU making all the issues even worse.
