Davey is a wet blanket that gives off no vibes of a serious politician
Starmer is a grey suit with a set of pre-programmed soundbites
Badenoch is a try hard that doesn't seem to have grasped yet that the Tories are gone without fundamental reform (no, not Reform)
Farge is a grifting twat - what more do I need to say on that

Polanski is a massive bell.

Is that better?

I think he's as bad as Farage tbh.

Why?

Genuinely interested. Farage is a self interested cunt that will burn this country to the ground if he gets something out of it.

I see Polanski as someone who’s at least trying to present a better future.

Despite not voting for him, I would have liked to have seen what he achieved by the next general election and then made my judgement. Changing a country even a bit needs at least a full term. Shame on the Labour party really, the MPs shafted the guy that got them there.

This whole idea that our leaders should be charismatic is bollocks as far as I'm concerned.

And so the never ending merry-go-round continues. Tories, Labour, none of them seem to be able to simply give us a stable term where they all work together to deliver polocies that make a change for the country.

At least the electorate can no longer deny this, so perhaps politics can go back to policy, rather than lazy point scoring

Of course it won't...
