Still by far a preferable option to Johnson (sorry to piss on your parade Herbie) and if there was an election tomorrow he would still get my vote.
But he seems to offer little in way of constructive alternatives.
He got off to a fantastic start and forensically took Johnson apart every week at PMQ's. But that approach seems to have worn off and he appears to now whinge for whinging sake.
He was, and still is, all over the shop on the closing/ re-opening of schools. Now, after berating Johnson for ignoring his scientific advisors, he wants to tear up the JCVI plan to vaccinate the population in order of priority, and introduce his own list of people deemed as a priority which seems to get longer and longer each time he opens his mouth.
I hope Koonters isn't to be proved right and we've been sold a pup. |  |

" ...and must be a tough opponent as he has the great gift of being well liked."
What a damning statement about the British. |
"Education, education, education".
Perhaps a teacher could tell us how much or how little critical reading & critical thinking skills are taught in both primary (it's never too young to start) & secondary schools these days.
There was a rather shocking 'roving reporter' feature on the BBC radio 4 "pm" show this evening, which found that large numbers of people, particularly from the BAME community in one English city (think it might have been Brum but not sure) were still very willing to cut Johnson a *lot* of slack because they still "felt sorry for him having to do such a difficult job in such difficult circumstances".
Although that element of sympathy vote was starting to drop somewhat (from maybe around 75% to more like 50-50), no mention whatsoever was made of any criticism that can totally justifiably be levelled at Johnson - failure to close borders early doors (the L'pool v Madrid CL game), failure to lock down hard & early (eg Cheltenham racing fest being allowed to go ahead), failure, scandal & corruption re PPE, T & T - etc etc. |  |

That's another reason we need a PR system. Can't vote him out because he's in one of the safest seats in the country. If it were done on a regional party list he'd be near the bottom - even in the present day party he's an embarassment. |  |

We specifically need open list PR, so you can vote for the party you like, but also effectively vote against terrible candidates on their list. |  | | |
