The Tories have a new leader ...

[blup]

The torries always seem to go for the worst possible choice when it comes to electing a leader - has the tory faithful been hijacked by the far left and they are on a covert mission to self destruct the party

The opposite, they think the only forward is to move to the right. Brexhit created a mindset that everything was moving to the right, instead it was only leaving the eu that attracted centre ground voters.

No, she was elected by the membership, who are predominantly elderly, and well to the Right of the nation.

These are the people who chose Liz Truss as their favourite after the Tories rid themselves of Buffoon.

You have a point, but I'm not convinced

Those who would never vote conservative, tell us why the new conservative leader won’t get their vote.

I've voted Tory before, and likely to again 1 day

But not voting for the extreme right, which she represents, or appeals to.

The Tories don't know where they are, should be, or want to be, right now.

You would think they would have learnt lessons after the last election. But probably still too soon.

I give her 12 months before another leadership fight

She is saying it's time for them to be honest.

They're proper ****ed now idiots. I can't stand this first x bs. Like the Liberal Partry and Jo Swinson 'the first female leader' load of bs doesn't make them better. If that's what got her there for pc reasons it's the wrong reasons.
Bsck to the tories I genuinely believe JC was their best bet. This is the best outcome for Labour I bet they can't believe their luck...again.

However I'm not a Tory supporter they let us down the last 10 years enough to let these chancers in.

Were they the selection criteria or the bits that the voting panel ignored?
