Named tomorrow as the new Tory leader if the polls are believed. Could she revive Tory fortunes before the next election or is it too early. Starmer doing his best to help Unfortunately. |  | | |  |

This is just following the party line. Politicians whipped into doing so, so nothing to see here. Even Rory Stewart’s voting record looks dodge based on his record while in Con party. I think she’s far too divisive, however. [Post edited 2 Nov 2024 11:10]

Ok, if that’s your opinion, then it is , of course, one you are entitled to. |  | | |

Probably not a very valid opinion since he speaks from the far left. | | | |

I already know, hence me saying her world view is different to mine. It's not troubling to have a different opinion. |  |

I also don’t agree with many elements of the Tory party since 2016. I just hope they revert to being a sensible centre right party before the next election. Unfortunately most sensible MPs were purged by Johnson. Brexit was the downfall, and why we are now stuck with this current horrendous administration. | | | |

I speak from the far left?
What an extraordinary comment.
I have never even voted labour!
Voted against financial incentives for low carbon emission electricity generation methods
Show votes
Voted against greater regulation of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to extract shale gas
Consistently voted against improving environmental water quality
Show votes
Generally voted against the preservation of environmental protections after withdrawal from the EU
Consistently voted against improving biodiversity
Generally voted against measures to prevent climate change
Consistently voted against improving air quality
As examples from just one category. | | | |

Less chuffed than had it been Jenrick, I suspect. And more pleased than had it been Cleverly. | | | |

I have always thought she would be a leader of the tories. Great choice.
However we all know we are heading into a very chaotic world regarding the atmosphere and ocean death by carbon so unless global economic systems are reinvented all governments are up the creek without any paddles. | |

Jenrick is marginally less nasty than Badenoch perhaps. But given that both are intent on taking the reform approach rather than anything centrist I doubt it matters much. Save that a black woman may find it harder to attract certain elements of the reform demographic... | | | |

Ha good one. As any sane Saffron Walden resident will tell you Kemi Badenough is a deeply unpleasant, lazy, rude, arrogant, shameless opportunist with zero interest in her constituents or constituency.
Even the blue rinse brigade had abandoned her at the last election and a sandal wearer would have got in if Reform hadn’t put up a Nazi who was too rabid, even for them. It’s amusing to think the good folk of Saffron Walden who gave pride sandle place in their churchyard to ‘the best prime minister we never had’ (Rab Butler for Guardian-reading toddlers) might have to reserve a space for the worst prime minister we never had - except she’d prefer Wimbledon.
I think the most flattering thing you could say about Badenough is that she’s Liz Truss Lite |
She is the Institute of Economic Affairs candidate so run by exactly the same people as Truss from Tufton Street |  |

I have my doubts about Kemi based on some of the things she has said and just how she comes across.
Got to give credit to the Tories though, out of all the major parties they are definitely the most progressive when it comes to choice of leaders and not just following the normal choice of while middle class male. |  |

Small state conservatism and an agenda of economic growth and efficiency. There’s a lot to be said for that tbh, and it’s what’s needed from an opposition to the current government. Just a shame any positive prospective policy shifts will no doubt be drowned out by the constant culture war rhetoric. | | | |

A tad disingenuous when you lot have ripped apart people like Rayner. Demonised everyone inside and outside of the party through identity politics etc.
Tories don’t vote for a typical woman or person of colour, they vote for a one who will go out of their way to act in a way that suits the party’s interest.
Pander to the rich, speak for “their” community despite not having experienced anything like the same life they have. Rishi was a billionaire after all. Thatcher destroyed every nuance of femininity to become the Iron Lady, it did far more harm than good for the rest of the world.
The fact that you have to put on an act to be a Tory leader is the crux of the matter, that even extends to Alexander and his Boris persona to enthral us plebs. | |

He’s very likeable and very charismatic and thus very electable so would be a big problem for Starmer, who is none of those things. I can’t see Starmer lasting the course tho, given his personal popularity issues with the electorate. |
maybe you could introduce me to the likeable, charismatic and electable cleverley?
i'm only aware of the one who used to be home secretary who was deficent in all 3 | |

The reasons for that are well known. Unfunded, uncosted and unrealistic. Implemented by an implausible PM in a haphazard manner. It’s now set the argument for a lower tax growth agenda back by a decade. Tories have a lot to answer for post Brexit. | | | |

I think he was pretty good as Home and Foreign Secretary. Civil servants I know spoke well of him. I think your view is probably a minority one in this instance. | | | |

Fourth female leader, second non-white leader, first black leader, Labour zilch, yet the Tories have no DEI obsession. They must just seem to vote for who they feel is the best person. | |

putting politics aside, this is the uk's right of centre party choosing the uk's first british black african party leader. the tory party membership (average age 75, and average place of residence royal tumbridge wells, and universally derided as socially backward looking) has elected a black woman. what ever your politics (forget them for a second) that is a moment in uk history and does probably say something positive about us as a nation. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Its fasincating how people will put aside their prejudices, so long as the person they are voting for will agressively pursue things which suit their other prejudices.... | | | |

Or perhaps they don’t have the prejudices you perceive them to have in the first place? Sometimes it’s good to be open to other opinions and points of view. | | | |

given that such a low percentage of the public voted for his party, and his wild swings of opinion towards, say, the rwanda policy, i think i'm very much in the majority | |

Despite their pretences otherwise it's funny how they always seem to elect white middle class men as their leaders isn't it? |  |
