UK Politics IV: Disraeli Gears

[Valaran]

Wikileaks just leaked a US diplomatic cable. Take a look.

Why the focus on his sex life? Never understood that angle in politics.

That's more of an aside, isn't it?

Rudd is walking around Westminster talking to the Met's chief and this is called a "patrol".

[Ifreann]

Just a bit of banter, America.

Apparently Boris hates Trump.

Random factoid I found while reading some of the thesis length articles folks are posting here.

Jealous of his hair no doubt.

Grayling is now Transport Secretary.

This sounds familiar.

[Parti Ouvrier]

Where did you get this rumour? I really don't understand why she'd close those departments either.

Well, BIS isn't being closed, it's being turned into Business, Energy and Industry, and is therefore replacing both BIS and DECC.

Makes sense from May's point of view, however, it shows a lack of concern about climate change.

Looks like Leadsom is going to get something.

As was addressed earlier, May's voting history may constitute climate denial.

But nothing as much as she hoped for. Which is good :3

More polls emerging.

On whether you expect Theresa May will do well/badly as Prime Minister:
Well: 46%
Badly: 24%

David Cameron has been Prime Minister for six years. Britain is now a (X) to live in:
Better country: 23%
Worse country: 44%

Yeah I don't think she is going to be entirely competent.

46% of people are in for a shock

So? I'm failing to see the problem of a) having doubts and b) this undermining his views.

Since Parti Ouvrier didn't reply in a whole 9 minutes, does this mean he is also crippled by doubts

So? Is a question now. And yes, I have doubts sometimes, I don't trust people who give the artificial appearance of being certain. Such people are fakes.

Assuming these were from the same poll by the same respondents, it sounds as though the entirety of those polled just wanted change or something moderately different.

Is business secretary still open?

I have my doubts that Owen Smith or Eagle could win an election in 2020.

It should be noted these figures aren't too dissimilar compared to Tony Blair leaving office: 27% of Britons thought the country was better off, 48% worse.

The current leader is always the worst.

Trump is encroaching on Boris's clown territory. He doesn't like the competition.

Yes.

Congratulations Coraspia you're hired.

Tbf I think the country is in a long downward spiral and I doubt anyone can make is better any time soon.

Perhaps. Though we will see. I suspect with Labour in the mess that it is (thank you Corbyn), the Conservatives will dominate for some time.

Going back to Corbyn. I originally hated the man and was dismayed at his victory. But considering the last few months I have to say I'm glad he's the leader and here's to hoping he stays for years to come.

Damian Green is Work and Pensions Secretary.

Labour was in a mess long before Corbyn came.

It looks like we're heading for a recession.
