chartpolski 20,371 Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 I've already said that Mordaunt has lost my support for her views on net zero and the ECHR, but now I see cabinet ministers and others now saying she was useless and couldn't do her job, when in their department.....maybe so, but why didn't they sack her, or made it known at the time ? Why wait untl she is in the last three ? She has been Minister of Defence, and is currently a Trade Minister, was she really as useless as they now make out ? If so, what does it say about the rest of them ? Cheers. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sunak, Truss, Mordaunt. Theres a vote today by Tory MP's and the one with the least votes drops out. Then the final two face a vote by Tory party members, not MP's, and the winner is the new leader of the Tory party and Prime Minister. Watch the news, or I'm going to start feeding you misinformation to make you look daft ! ! Cheers. . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 20,371 Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 It's all a bit Machiavellian; Sunak being accused of "lending " votes to Mordaunt, as he would rather face her in the final two, than Truss. Maybe we SHOULD move to a Presidential style elections, with the people voting at primaries for a Prime Minister. Thats virtually what we did in 2019, let's face it, millions of us voted for Boris, NOT the Torys . we are going to have a Prime Minister for the next two years that none of us voted for, and probably wouldn't have anyway !

She cocked up in every department she worked in the German government and yet they kept on promoting her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 20,371 Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'm a believer in "The Peter Principle "; where people are promoted up to a position where they are out of their depth, but they have been good in their previous positions. But if the Mordaunt detractors are to be believed, she was useless in every position she held, yet they kept promoting her ! She may be as bad as they say, but they are complicit in promoting her and , in my mind, more to blame.......but, as usual, no one will be held to account.

The only ways I can think of is if there is a vote of no confidence in the government, but they had one two days ago and the government won. The only other way is for the Prime Minister to ask the Queen to dissolve Parliament and then there would have to be a General Election. But whoever wins this contest won't dream of doing that and being the shortest lived PM ever ! We now have what's called "a fixed term Parliament" , 5 years. So it has to be exceptional circumstances to have a GE earlier Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the litigious times it is sometimes impossible to demote or fire someone. Especially if nobody in their past employment has evidenced any failures. Easiest way to get rid of a problem is to promote them elsewhere. Edited July 20, 2022 by Nicepix 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,804 Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'm going Truss. She's opportunistic so may crack on with deporting wogs etc. She's being called a plastic Thatcher, that might just drive her on to surpass what she really believes in. The paki is like Boris, he is what he is, for better or worse ,he ain't going to change 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
