deathrey Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I think Truss and Sunak will be the last two standing. I'm unsure as to who I think will win between the two when it goes to an all party vote but something is making me think Sunak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 14, 2022 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2022 Â I think Truss has some negative associations and is too divisive for the membership. Can't see her making it all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Duke Posted July 14, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2022 Mordaunt has said she wants to cut taxes for lower incomes and small business and it's not the time for tax cuts for the wealthy, so she'll be out before the end of the day.

Loki Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Liz Truss is the Johnson continuity candidate so there’s a big push amongst his allies to get her into the final 2.  If she does I think she’ll win, which will be a disaster as she’s genuinely thick.  If Mordaunt pips her then to be honest went got the two least objectionable candidates through which is a good result. I just don’t think the rank and file members will vote in a coloured candidate.  Plus Sunak is very short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will go "those Asian fellas are so hard working and good with money. Plus he's so well spoken!" It's still racism, but it won't do any harm to his chances Edited July 14, 2022 by Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 14, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) They're about to announce the next round. I reckon Braverman, Tugencock and Badenoch are out. EDIT: One out of three ain't bad, as Meatloaf nearly sang. Edited July 14, 2022 by gmoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all hear them talk about values and suchlike, but they adjust what they say to better their chances of being elected and getting further ahead career-wise. They're like footballers in bad suits with rubbish haircuts in all honesty. Edited July 14, 2022 by David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
