Have to say, I quite like him, he looks like what I imagine Adrian Mole would look like these days.

Move over Theresa.

He's a vicious throwback trading off it and letting people confuse it with being "traditional" or nostalgically British.

Also some suspicions he treats the public purse as his own.

He's basically Boris before he got found out as an elitist, charlatan and traitor from what I can make out.

The Tories are hoping Rees Mogg can take the Tories back to the same number of seats that Gordon Brown got in 2010? 'Cause that's what Corbyn did.

I think the Corbyn comparison only goes so far. There is a big gulf for example in their intellectual capacities.


Mr Rees-Mogg has lived in a very sheltered world brought up to believe everyone is a millionaire and that privelidge for the few is normal.

His inability to understand the real world shows how lacking in education he is

Would you seriously want a man ....

Who opening belittled the constituency members of his first (failed) attempt to be elected by stating he didn't tour the constituency in a Bently...it was a Merc?

Who filibusters to block bills he is not in favour of, even calling for Somerset to have its own time zone (15 mins behind London).

Who called for UKIP and the Tory's to merge as most conservative members would prefer Nigel Farage over Nick Clegg.

Who describe £250000 spent on portraits of MP's as 'chicken feed'.

Who opposes same sex marriages.

Who supported Trump.

The man stands for everything that is wrong in British politics. He is elitist and firmly part of the establishment. We pay his wages and he makes a mockery of the political process. Yes he is good value on Have I Got News For You, but I would not want him representing me or my country.

So in summary...no I'm not a fan :)


Indeed, the polite eccentric posho angle works for him but when you break down what his actual views are, they're pretty abhorrent

Momentum are about grass roots people power

The Tories aren't about that, their 'people' are big business. I can't see flocks of people following him in the same way, it just isn't how the Tories work.

They are about the rich elites who control things, they are mates with people who own the media and run the banks. That's how they keep themselves in control, that's how they communicate and spread their message.

Of course all this promotion of Mr Reece-Mogg is to condition the public into thinking he will make a good PM

He was second in the poll published in the Independent orf course to smooth the path all this stuff is so that he doesn't have to show just how far to the right he is and how much he wants the UK completely out of the EU irrespective of the cost to the British public.

The tory lie machine is being fired up for a real strong push to the right.


Nothing wrong with traditional, centre right Conservative politics. It's just what the UK needs at present.

Let's face it, the weird, crazy liberalism of Blair and Cameron and now May is destroying the social cohesion of the country. They have not been representing the majority views of the nation.

The Moggster would be a magnificent PM. However there's little chance of the Tories electing him. They'd rather have Hammond or Davidson, od some other Liberal EU loving dullard.

Genuine question;

Do you believe that someone that would describe an area such as Clacton as

'a seaside town packed full of ill educated crackpots, yahoos and social misfits remains to be seen'

is fit to be a leader of your party?


The fact he has brought the word 'yahoo' back into fashion would get him my vote alone.

I haven't heard it used since my primary school headmaster used it to describe the pupils from what he regarded as 'beneath him' backgrounds. Which included me and 95% of the pupils.

Mogg would give the country a good shake up and bury the neo Liberal PC agenda which is ruining the nation.

Given the Tories have been in power for so long now, what and how is the country ruined by "neo Liberal PC agenda" (sic)???

How does having a homophobe like JRM in charge help the country exactly?

His voting record is fairly backward and disgusting too.

Your reviled rich elites did very well out of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Crikey they even knighted Fred Goodwin.

As for JRM's abhorrent views - well in the interest of political balance perhaps you should research Seamus Milne's views on East Germany. He is after all St. Corbyn's right hand man.

Or perhaps you too think it was a much misunderstood Communist utopia even if border guards shot dead citizens who dared to climb the Berlin Wall.

The Conservatives are no longer Conservatives. We haven't had a truly Conservative Government since the early 90s. 2010-2015 was a Liberal government in all but name and since then it's been pretty much more of the same.

That doesn't really begin to answer my question though. in fact it just breeds more.

What is this agenda you see, how does a party that wants to bring back foxhunting, punish poor people and ruin public services tie in with it?

The problem with Rees-Mogg, as well as what's already been stated, is that he isn't particularly smart, or possessing of good judgement:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/10398635/Climate-change-al

He's eloquent, knowledgeable and polite, certainly. But when he comes up against a complex problem he'll draw on a few spurious historical examples, and end up with a poor analysis or conclusion based on nothing much. The article above is an excellent example - the quality of thought wouldn't pass muster in a high school, but the historical anecdotes are interesting (and this article from Rees-Mogg is put to shame by Gove's excellent speech on the environment the other day).

It's nice that he's got a good knowledge of British political history, but he'd be an awful decision-maker and be an appalling leader, of a party or a country.

When you say he doesn't posses good judgement, you mean that you don't agree with him.
