Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
Well, hmm. "The populace elected a conservative government." Sorry, Nigel, but each member of that electorate took part (if they voted at all) in the election of an MP. I don't remember the ballot paper giving me the option of choosing a particular colour of government. It's amazing how you guys on the right always purport to know what's in voters' minds. "The people voted to take back control." Really? What if I said that "the people" voted to keep out foreigners, especially the ones without white skin? Who's going to say which of us is closer? Individual voters have their own agendas. It would be a good bet that some Tory party members will vote for Truss "because we need another woman," or for Sunak for the very opposite reason. Both terrible ways of making the decision, eh? But who's to know?
