If the Conservative Party wants to change, it needs to, as Bing sang “accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, don’t mess with Mr In-between"
I do find the "Pay to Play" rules a bit odd, don't know if that's the usual set-up, but given the whole "donations" scandal with Starmer right now, it's not looking like the smartest move. Take (*talk*) about making a rod for the winner's back.
Although, they've probably dodged a heavy calibre bullet by giving Priti "sexy Bond villain" Patel the elbow early doors.
Going to be a bit embarrassing if the donations don't actually flow in to the final candidates, no?
Thank you Simon for your interesting thoughts. The candidates are better in my view than those in 2015 or 2019 when the pond was greater in depth but the water quality was lower. I like those who are showing clarity about which local and international institutions and programmes are no longer in our benefit, but I suspect that a greyer candidate who talks well will prevail. I have one vote only.
So… the choice is, least worst option, that is for those still clinging on to the notion there is an actual conservative, Conservative Party.
