That actually makes perfect sense.


Tory and Labour MPs have held informal discussions about establishing a new political party in the event of Andrea Leadsom becoming prime minister and Jeremy Corbyn staying as Labour leader, a cabinet minister has disclosed.

Great, even more stuffed shirts on the other side of the barricade for me to sling molatov cocktails at.

For many of us there is only one party in Westminster anyway. Another faction wont make any difference.

Ah, but it doesn't get done to everyone's equal dissatisfaction.

The Corbyn fiasco, and the current scrabble to discredit Leadsom highlights that the Establishment[1] have no desire to rock the boat.

They want May's steady claw on the tiller, steering a straight course between Scylla and Charybdis, keeping everything pretty much the same tomorrow as it was yesterday.

The Lib Dems[2] are notionally centrist, but they're also radical - I believe that they'd actually expect to change things if they ever ended up in power. Pale

[1] I believe it's run by the Patriarchy.

[2] That's their "leader" pictured above. Don't feel bad if you didn't know, half of them probably couldn't name him.

You could substitute any politicians name for May's and have the same outcome.
It's what, contemporary, politicians do, they tinker around the edges of policy/legislation then proclaim a, momentus, change of direction!
We have government lead by the results of 'focus groups' and 'statistics' which results in wishy washy policies and no leadership!

The irony being that the current leaderless, rudderless, political vacuum we're in, at the moment, is a direct consequence of politicos who believied their own, flawed, rhetoric then ran away when they realised their focus groups, who'd been feeding their egos, had got it completely wrong!

Who believes in things just as left wing as Corbyn. They are centrist, they are another version of Labour.

I'd much rather have a libertarian-right party, pursuing policies of small government and low taxation.

That will never happen however as this island is full of statist cucks, both left and rights, who have drank the kool-aid and truly think everything is better when the govt does it...

IMO tories are pretty centre, I wouldn't call them very (economically) right wing


I'm guessing you don't think you will ever need what taxes pay for.
