This gave me a big belly laugh:
Another Conservative said: “The answer is we need to find a way to appeal to voters we lost to all parties. I don’t know how you do that on policy, but Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious. But I don’t know if any of the candidates we have at the moment can do that.”
Why would they be ‘chasing’ any voters with up to 5 years until the next election? How about do your jobs and represent the people who did vote for you in opposition of the government? Then you might win back some respect of the electorate.
I thought the whole point of 5 year terms was to avoid the constant election cycle.
Westminster journalists can’t see politics as anything other than a team sport. It’s not about democracy, ideas, or doing what’s right for the people of Britain. It’s just tactics and strategies to win the match.
