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?
