rollover Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 J.R. Mogg could make a bid if they lose the next election and Rishi Sunak is forced to step down' Jacob Rees-Mogg is reportedly weighing up a bid to run for the Tory party leadership should Rishi Sunak tank the next general election. The former Business Secretary, 53, is understood to be tempted by the prospect of becoming the standard-bearer of the right-wing of the party should they endure a battering at the polling booths. Mr Rees-Mogg is said to have been tempted to run for leader after Mr Johnson was finally forced to accept his support was crumbling and his premiership doomed. The-then Brexit Opportunities minister thought about it overnight but decided to join other Boris loyalists such as Nadine Dorries in backing Ms Truss - whose time as Prime Minister infamously ended after less than two months.

Homeless Millionaire Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I confidently assert that the Tories will be finished as a political force within five years. Mogg attempting to become leader is another indicator of their soon to be fringe party status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Tories will be finished, but the right-wing of the party may split and JR Mogg may become the leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rump of what was the Conservative party will defect to the Dems or Labour, and possibly found a new Neo Liberal party in the Blair mould.

The tory party turns into the political party that destroyed it, UKIP 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeless Millionaire Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 As has been observed by many others, they saw a threat from UKIP and reacted badly. The answer for the Tories was to move towards the EU and more Liberal factions within their party. Instead they went all ERG. Nothing as such wrong with that, except that, as you suggest they are not the Conservative party anymore. I voted 'out', in the belief that that full economic and political control would be regained by the electorate. It took a few years but I now realise that control has actually been ceded away from the people and into the hands of the ERG foamers. I and many others were duped and I'm less than happy about the situation. Labour were also complicit in what occurred. Having said all that, I am not sure that I would vote 'in' given another opportunity. Frankly, I don't think it matters much whether we are 'in' or 'out'. What does matter, a LOT, is whether the governance of the country is seen to be legitimate, effective and in the interests of the general public. At the moment Britain is barely a democracy as we would assume it, more of a corporate oligarchy. Not a place I want to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeless Millionaire Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'll further qualify what I said above by stating that it might simply come to pass that life in Britain deteriorates to such an extent that we go back to the EU out of necessity rather than preference.

Homeless Millionaire Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 It's an awfully negative view of the EU and reasons for joining it. Britain ought to have joined initially from a perspective of leadership and future prosperity. Instead, rather like some of the Eastern European countries it would be joining the EU out of fear.
