Thread: FAO Conservative Parliamentary Party. The membership aren’t thick or out of touch. YOU gave us the two people who you thought were the best of the bunch. We were forced to make a choice between the two and we knew what we were doing.
We preferred Truss’s economic plan as being the one most close to true Conservative principles. It was debated at length and we rejected Sunak’s commitment to the failing orthodoxy
Neither candidate impressed on immigration (one of the single most important issues to the 2019 Conservative voter base) but at least Truss indicated to appoint someone who does get it. If Truss doesn’t follow Braverman’s lead - it’s over irrespective any other factor.
We know Truss is wooden and may well fail to connect with the electorate (particularly red wall) hence the concern about getting shut of Boris. But the idea that Sunak has sufficient charisma to make a difference in that regard is laughable - he’s a gimp.
So if those out of cabinet are kicking their feet, rather than undermining the outcome of a legitimate process, why not get out knocking doors and start LISTENING particularly to our 2019 voters and contribute to constructing a policy platform based on what you hear.
As a party member I am disgusted with the self-indulgence, bitterness and arrogance of people who are PUT there by members and voters and the apparent obsession with your own voices rather than meaningfully listening to any of us out here.
