Yes, and no.
If they are Conservative yes, if they are Labour no you mean?
Yes, and no.
I give him credit for resigning, albeit belatedly, but there was a time not so long ago when anything other than quitting immediately would have been considered absolutely untenable. Once we are at the point where people don't instantly quit as an MP when they are found guilty of a criminal offence or caught watching porn at work then it becomes near impossible to expect the public to have any confidence in their parliamentarians, or any respect for them.
You do see a sort of irony in your posts "trying" to defend the Conservatives under Johnson don't you ?If they are Conservative yes, if they are Labour no you mean?
I know what you're saying...I dunno mudders.
I'd sooner all Tory MPs spent their Parliamentary time watching porn rather than legislating.
Some folks hereabouts have even joked about me looking at 'Tractor porn' ..
The issue is that Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner have spent months going about how people should be honest and open about who was at which event, and the PM must be a thicky if he can't even remember whether he was at a party and if others can't remember him being there they must be lying.You do see a sort of irony in your posts "trying" to defend the Conservatives under Johnson don't you ?
I mean I think the porn drama is bad,but it's over with he's gone.In the bigger picture of the lies and corruption it's minor.Another good deflection story.
So what's your thinking Rayner was somewhere we thought she wasn't so should go ? I don't really care if she does,but you can't seriously believe Johnsons fit to be PM can you ? You can't be that dense.
Has it not been investigated allready...if it wasn't against the rules Starmer being there,will it make a difference if Rayner was ? I'm not sure it broke any covid rules?The issue is that Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner have spent months going about how people should be honest and open about who was at which event, and the PM must be a thicky if he can't even remember whether he was at a party and if others can't remember him being there they must be lying.
As a result they should resign blah blah blah.
Now it turns out that she couldn't remember being in the same room as Keir Starmer eating sandwiches and drinking after sharing a flipping desk to do a zoom call together, where she introduced then got up and he sat down. All of which is apparently an honest mistake and the fact they both have been on tv denying it took place is just an oversight, and they really didn't remember.
No, they lied too. If they get a fine will do what they have been saying any politician should do in these circumstances and resign? No of course they won't, they will say it was unclear, they didn't break the rules as they saw them and round we all go again.
Lol....if you say so 🙄They are all at it, one lot will be no better than the other. It's a sad fact of life I am afraid.
Unfortunately they were elected in our democratic system , so unless you want to dispense with that and have a non elected body govern… I mean, who exactly are the”grown ups” of which you speak?Leave the grown ups in charge of the politicking.
You don’t believe the UK is a democracy?Repeat after me, 'there is more to democracy than simply holding elections'
You don’t believe the UK is a democracy?
I believe that all democracies are flawed and necessarily involve compromises.
What point were you trying to make?Repeat after me,
