Runners and riders for the Tory Party leadership...

[BoldonLad]

One can only assume that they thought it would make useful propaganda, except they seem to have badly misjudged the capability of the candidates.

Dunning-Kruger effect innit. And these are the very best that the current iteration of the Tory party has to offer.

Yes, frightening, isn't it? Particularly when the possible opposition is similarly handicapped. Doesn't look good for the Country (IMHO).

I don't doubt it, but, still don't see the point (from the candidates or Conservative party view point) of National Television spectacles/debates.

There is none. But they do it in that there 'merica, so we have to have it too...

 

[Rusty Nails]

Perhaps the title of this thread unwittingly has hit upon the best system for electing leaders
We should have a modern pentathletes type event involving candidates running and riding in different handicapped events

would make for more fun TV - perhaps even a political Its a Knockout...or for Remainers Jeux San Frontiers

They ought to put them on bikes and ride an Elimination Race. It's a bit like that now but without the excitement, skill or flashing lights on the handlebars.

Isn't that the Weakest Link?

In the most literal sense.

So - Tugendhat's out. Too decent and sensible to be PM.

That leaves:

• Dishi Rishi in first place, upholding the Tory values of tax avoidance and off shore wealth.
• Mordaunt in second place offering to be someone who isn't Rishi but is female.
• Truss in third place showing that Conservative MPs have a sense of humour, or will accept her as a Thatcher sex doll substitute
• Badenoch bringing up the rear. Probably the best remaining option, although it's still a case of choosing best turd in a turd competition.

Inevitable really. Badenoch out next and then we'll have a proper scrap.

Go on....do tell ?

Don't worry, it’s just that relativism you despise. He’s only decent and sensible by comparison with the others.

Wouldn't have Boris as a minister, would cancel the sell off of Channel 4, sensible reduction in fuel tax, willing to say that Johnson is dishonest etc.

But all relative of course...

Would carry on with N Ireland protocol and supports the Rwanda bill...running your campaign on "I'm not as bad as the others" doesn't cut it for me...

There's hyperbole, and there's hyperbolical hyperbole.
