In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

If Mr Rishi becomes Prime Minister of the UK , maybe next year the party will break up again because Rishi has many negative aspects. I think it would be good for the British people and the new generation if the foreign Secretary Ms Liz Truss becomes UK Prime Minister. Mr Rishi and his wife does tax invasion.
Petrol price is as high as £1.95 per litre and food prices are increasing. What did Mr Rishi do when he was finance minister? Using the Russia v Ukraine war and covid-19 as excuses? Please do something for the British middle class and poor people. Most British Prime Ministers lived in luxury when they were in power. They do nothing for the poor, a real shame for all British people.

Truss will win as she has the backing of the industrial war complex, i.e. NATO i.e. Pentagon and Wall Street/London stock exchange. Given this is a very easy election to rig, notably because getting to vote for the new leader only costs 25 pounds and 3 months Tory membership, Truss is leading us to World War 3 with glee. Ironic, as she was a liberal at uni. and her mum is anti nuclear arms…her Dad is now, at last, proud of her Armageddon daughter.

I rather Mr Sunak than an incompetent liar as penny Mordaunt or the inexperience and confusion of the rest who are saying anything and everything and not thinking of the consequences of what they are talking about. They all know he is the man who will save this country from disaster so they spread ther lies, hate and disinformation, when it is the likes of Mordaunt, Tugendhat and the rest who have no idea what they are talking about and would destroy this country if given the chance. I wouldn't allow any of them, with the exception of Mr Sunak, to run a cornershop much less a government.
Better be safe than sorry.

Penny Mordaunt she keeps going all over the place on her gender identity statement . She Is a liar even her own bosses are saying how incompetent and lazy she is. She shouldn't be in the top 10 much less the top three. She says everything and anything she thinks will make her popular, that is untrustworthy plus she is very arrogant.
Rishi Sunak is the one that gets it and made more sense than the others on that debate.

@hanquanphoon5664
January 5, 2024 at 10:09 pm
A dramatic prediction: on Monday, Tugendhat is eliminated, and even though Truss picks up most of Braverman's votes she still trails Mordaunt. On Tuesday, Badenoch is eliminated and Truss is still third. But as most of Badenoch's votes go to Truss, and Sunak seeing the polls show Truss is easier to beat than Mordaunt, decides to lend some votes to Truss, and Truss on Wednesday leapfrogs Mordaunt to clinch a place in the members ballot

@H.H.NotAnExpert
January 5, 2024 at 10:09 pm
I understand the accusation that Rishi Sunak is "robotic" now. (I'm an American, and I've barely ever heard him speak before.) Liz Truss only talked in an ad voice-over in this video, which isn't really comparable, so I can't really evaluate her alleged "roboticness" except in terms of the script, which I guess was pretty standard, much more standard than Rishi Sunak's speech, but again, those are very different contexts. (For example, Suella Braverman sounded to me the least "robotic" and most honest and interesting in what she had to say, but, again, it probably had a lot to do with the context of that clip, not to mention the fact that she's in last place now.)
@H.H.NotAnExpert
January 5, 2024 at 10:09 pm
Maybe Zahawi is trying to avoid further accusations of being "Machiavellian" by not supporting anyone, which is perceived as a way to get a cabinet position, and/or doesn't expect to get a cabinet position even if he supports someone.
There's also the possibility of him later choosing to support someone. For a little bit, waiting until there are less people and then supporting someone seemed to me like a way to get avoid the accusations from switching who he supports, but that really makes no sense whatsoever. There's no real stigma behind switching who you support when the person you used to support literally has already been eliminated or stepped down, and waiting to find out who's likely to win before supporting anyone would seem much more mercenary than that, especially after he's explicitly said he wouldn't "interfere" any further in the election, so turning around and endorsing someone later would be going back on that. Thus, if he does back someone later, I guess I'm wrong, and he just figures he can't make his reputation worse in this regard with such things.

I think you have to stop calling it a democratic process. You have a party, whose members don't as much as a shadow of a spine, who are now haggling over who will offer them the most money for dodgy projects or positions. Then you have members of one party who represent about 0.3% (160,000 members). Do you want to know who has elections like this? China.
