Did the unelected Mr Brown have a mandate for that action? Was it in the manifesto?
It didn’t exist under Blair, was introduced in Browns last budget as PM just before the election and was reduced three years later by Clegg and Cameron from 50% to 45%.

No. If you recall I said Brown should have called an election earlier. Are you now agreeing with that point?
Was the cost of living payments or the COVID funds in their respective manifestos, or do major external events come outside manifesto promises?
Oh Kwasi.
As far as I can remember, Johnson got an 80 seat landslide by attracting 42% of the vote (not the total electorate). Of those people that voted, presumably 58% didn’t want him.I agree with him too - the people should decide. Not going to happen now she's fucked her new leader bounce within a week.
Point I was making was BSB said they make shit picks but fact is the last one they picked won a landslide in an election, so the people did actually get to decide and agreed with them. May didn't get a majority but did have more seats than any other party. So those members would argue that they don't make bad decisions because when given a vote the people to some extent or another agrees with them.
However, I think that would change quite dramatically right now...
Of course influences come in which is why you can’t make parties stick to a manifesto when they change leaders and that leader you don’t like
everyone on here have got want they wanted - Johnson gone - enjoy the next two years
I'm glad you can work out the difference between isolated changes to maintain a general policy (which they *all* do and *none* of them stick *exactly* to the manifesto) and a cultural shift.Did the unelected Mr Brown have a mandate for that action? Was it in the manifesto?
I agree with that but at the same time I can't think of another system whereby picking a local representative would be fairer.As far as I can remember, Johnson got an 80 seat landslide by attracting 42% of the vote (not the total electorate). Of those people that voted, presumably 58% didn’t want him.
It strikes me that to end up with the result we did shows that the first past the post system is simply wrong. The last three elections my vote has counted for nothing as the Tory candidate got in every time (same for Tory voters in Labour seats, I know).
We need a new voting system where every vote counts.
No we wanted the Tories gone, not just Johnson. Clearly Truss is even worse.Of course influences come in which is why you can’t make parties stick to a manifesto when they change leaders and that leader you don’t like

You've got to hand it to them, don't think anyone thought they could find a worse double act than Johnson and Patel but they've managed it.What an utter c**t she is
She's just so... shit.
Just completely stumped by the most basic of questioning. Embarrassing.
Speculate on the pound?what the fuck do they do with they're money?
James Cleverly is not covering himself in glory the last day or so.
