8 August (Part 3) - In Liz we must Truss

I am no longer a member of The Conservative Party and don’t often regret it. I came to the conclusion it was for the most part a Darby and Joan Club where the principal activity was inviting members to poor quality meals at extortionate prices. An allegory perhaps for the poor services and high taxes we now have to endure under the present Government.

As such I have no input to the Leadership election but it is interesting to observe which way friends and Councillors are swinging. I get the impression that Liz Truss is favoured by those prepared to go public but not all of them. Their logic can be hard to fathom.

If just for example someone was backing Penny Mordaunt to the hilt but she fell at the penultimate hurdle who would be favoured next?

A Penny enthusiast might be expected to follow her to whoever she thought was next best. (Liz Truss.) If they voted otherwise would that not mean they thought that Penny’s very first decision was mistaken?

So why were they going to vote for such a poor decision maker in the first place?
