Renton 24204 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I was listening to an interesting analysis last night on far right of the tory party, for Braverman potentially becoming party lead which is her clear aim (I shit you not). Apparently, the way the tory MPs are strcutured, the more loony ones are in the safer seats. So if they were wiped out in the next GE to say 150 seats, this would eliminate more "moderates" than ERG type tories. Braverman would then have a clear path to win a leadership campaign. Bring it on I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, I'm not going to defend him here, just devil's advocate in saying if you are going ot have a points based immigration system, these immigrants should not be allowed to undercut the market value of earnings in any sector they're in. How you could enforce this, I have no idea. I guess he thinks if he can beat the tories on the one thing they supposedly have left over Labour, immigration, they're fucked. I don't agree with this approach myself. I would purely focus on cost of living and do you feel better off than 13/14 years ago? Starmer is a huge disappointment to me so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
