PETER HTICHENS: If Liz Truss was the answer, whatever was the question?

[Nextrush]

The UK is going down because of inflation regardless of the personality at the top of its political leadership.

[dfwgator]

Soon the major British parties will be divided into Hindu and Muslim factions.

[Nextrush]

Hitchens raises all the hot buttons as well including immigration, drugs, crime etc.

He doesn’t forget the COVID and Ukraine manias and their destructive impact on wasteful spending-inflation.

[TBP]

She had the potential to be an excellent PM.

[dfwgator]

Based on what?

[x]

Parties come to power with definite plans and projects and programs (most of the time). After a dozen years in power then don't have any clear idea of what to do and don't have the energy or the power to do it.

All manner of special interests got on what looked like the winning train, so competing factions with very different desires develop inside the governing party. This makes it hard to agree on a common program, and politics just becomes a matter of shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic, because the party needs to appease all the factions.

And we, the US, held down by trillions of dollars of debt are going to face similar problems to the British in the near future. Remember Carville saying he wanted to be the bond market, because the bond market makes all the decisions? Politicians have been ignoring the bond market for years -- Biden and Pelosi/Schumer -- most of all, but it's going to have it's say soon enough.

LOL!

[Nextrush]

Bra size...sarc

I think we may have gotten to that point in evaluating female political leader forgive my sin.

[PGR88]

Hitchens might as well have been commenting on the United States.

[aquila48]

“Soon the major British parties will be divided into Hindu and Muslim factions.”

That is absolutely right. The whites have committed voluntary genocide.

And that’s true for the rest of western Europe as well, and the US also.

Their (White’s) love of diversity and multiculturalism and self loathing is leading to their deserved demise.

[Nextrush]

We are on the way but the trick right now is this the US pushes the UK and Europe to get in the mud with Russia and also pushes confrontation with China.

It hurts all of them economically in the end and drives economic activity towards the USA but our day of reckoning is only postponed not ended.

[canuck_conservative]

The UK is going down

you sound happy about that

[TBP]

Well, her tax cuts (which she was forced to abandon) were good policy and would eventually have helped Britain’s economy.

[dfwgator]

Forced? Then she’s weak.

[blueunicorn6]

The question is:

Who will execute my wishes on the political stage?

[unread]

"Their (White’s) love of diversity and multiculturalism and self loathing is leading to their deserved demise."

We have been warned about this in the past.. Read the bible...

PETER HTICHENS: If Liz Truss was the answer, whatever was the question?

People google "shortest UK prime minister" and get "Lizz Truss 44 days"

People google "shortest Russian prime minister" and get "Vladimir Putin 5feet 5 inches"

[jdsteel]

“Why can’t Boris get back into power?“

One possible question.

[Nextrush]

I have no power over it as Hitchens points out the people of the UK bear responsibility for their mistakes.

I can offer my thoughts about it it’s really sad in the end.

[TBP]

It’s not that she’s weak; it’s that her party is wimpy. Too many CINOs.
