Small state, low taxes, personal responsibility, is the way forward.  :y

Our elected representatives decide how our UK taxes are wasted spent. At least we can get rid of them every five years and elect a different bunch of idiots to waste our money. ;)
True, but in reality the whole country is run by the civil servants, not matter what knobs are fronting it.

Civil servants advise, ministers decide is the rule in Westminster. Much of what the ministers would like to do they can't due to EU directives, as their preferred policy breaks EU law. How much influence the civil servants have on policy is also dependent on how hard working & how competent the minister is. PM May has a particularly bad reputation here, plus she never listens to other ministers & MPs advice, preferring her personal advisers & civil servants.

You appear to be overestimating their competence. ;)

The 1922 committee are now considering changing the rules on how Conservative MP's are nominated to stand. They recognise they have had too many of their MP's put themselves forward to be PM! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D

God, they cannot even get that right! :o :o

Yet another!  Sam Gyimah who wants to have another referendum.  ::)

I think that's 14 now but I've probably lost count.  :D  This thread could outlast the bus thread at this rate!  ;D

Kit Malthouse and James Cleverly have dropped out today and the 1922 Committee have amended the rules so contenders need to have eight MP's nominations rather than just two.  This will probably preclude some from standing at the deadline of 10th June.

I've tidied up the poll and will delete or add names as people drop out or join the contest.  :)

It now seems to be the thing to admit to taking drugs in your youth and all these candidates are a bunch of druggies!  :o  ;D

The deadline for nominations is 1700 tomorrow.  :)

Soap box?

Some say it would be a banana box. Obviously, I am not one of them. :)
