Emily Thornbury

1 or 2 are valid but with 1, you're not necessarily getting who the members want as leader. How far left or central/Tory Lite do the Labour Party want to go versus their members?

Most of the electorate in this country are centre leaning.

Go too far to the left or right and you lose elections.

The difference between a socialist dictator and a fascist dictator is pretty close to zero.

Hmmm.... That's inneresting....

Keynsham's obviously a popular place for IT contactors.

What else am I to deduce?

your point is?

Does he though? He speaks for party members who elected him, not the people that voted for Labour. if 9 in 10 Labour voters don't think he is up to the job, who does he speak for?

Who elected the current PM?

I've always found Emily Thornbury to be condescending and rather smug. Glad to see her getting found out.

But you still would ?

Am I the only one who thinks Amber Rudd is a bit of a cracker?

Who elected the current PM?

The majority of her constituents and the parliamentary Conservative party.

No PM is ever directly elected by anyone who can vote in the UK.

The party who gets asked to form a government then decides who they want to be the party leader out of the MPs sitting in the commons. How each party decides is up to them.

No. Just the parliamentary Con Party.

Assuming you meant who elected her as PM.

Absolutely. I just read the Private Eye special report on the revolving door between government and industry.

When government starts meddling in industry, you know what that's called?

Facism.
