But at the moment, we have a PM who wasn't party leader at the last GE and I think that warrants a new Election

But it doesn't, as that's not how it works in this country

I mean, literally, how could they objectively be any worse than what the government have done over the last few years or what some of their individuals in the part and cabinet have done during that time?

Short memories and all that.

I had to laugh this morning at Gordon Brown tweeting about the ideology behind the Truss/Kwarteng economics - the very same man that presided over widespread deregulation that played its part in the 2008 crash. A man that only introduced the 50p rate as a last-miute fvck-you hurrah to the likely incoming Tory/coalition Gov't.

But in truth, we don't know. Because we haven't really had a proper Labour Gov't since the late '70s.

Do you think they'll kill the pound, have to be bailed out by the Bank of England and make two major policy U-turns in the first 2 weeks? I suspect we'll get to find out, but I don't see how they could be worse

I don't think so, looking at the discourse on twitter the people who liked her still like her and the scottish tories are crying their eyes out

"I mean give them a little bit of a chance - maybe more than a month."

Imagine the level of fuck ups they will manage in the second month!!!
