There are 3 tiers involved: 1. The parliamentary party, who shortlist the candidates. They're not necessarily racist and will put forward Sunak, Braverman and Javid. 2. The membership who decide between the top two. The TV news has done vox pops at conservative clubs and there wasn't much diversity there - which doesn't mean they're racists at all. 3. Tory voters in a general election. There is no doubt that some of those who voted Tory in 2019 and before did so based on sound, white English, principles. I've spent weeks in Basildon. It's a Tory stronghold, there is very little, if any, racial diversity and there are plenty of people who, although they'd never vote Labour, would not vote for anyone if, by doing so, they were supporting an ethnic to get into power. Believe me, Basildon is, without doubt, the worst place I've been to in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 3 hours ago, The Mighty Thor said: Scotland is relatively diverse in its own way. Edinburgh has had many immigrant people integrate into the city over many years. Italians, Sikh, Pakistani, Chinese and probably most recently Polish. I'll assume you've got something to back up how we'd PROBABLY be more racist? Just the general treatment of the 'different'. If a nation can be divided on bigotry and sectarianism it's hardly a stretch to think the introduction of immigrants to levels like England may be problematic. 3 hours ago, The Mighty Thor said: Made up stuff. Yay. Evidently not as Johnson stuffed his cabinet with amoral talentless no marks.

Lone Striker Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 6 hours ago, Footballfirst said: Now that Labour seems intent in calling a "no confidence" vote if BloJo doesn't go ASAP, it will put many Tory MPs into a quandary. If a vote goes ahead, do they vote to keep BloJo in office to avoid an election. Would they risk the negative effects of being seen to support someone whose integrity and honesty has been found to be wanting. Alternatively would they seek to avoid a vote taking place at all, by insisting that BloJo does resign as PM (he hasn't done that as yet, as he has only intimated his intention to resign as leader of the Tories). I think that the latter option is the more likely. Yes, probably right about that. I wonder what ploys Boris might get up to in order to stay in post for as long as possible - maybe encourage a few ERG nutjobs to throw their hat into the election ring to disrupt the normal number of rounds ? Or more realistically, make sure there's a hard Brexiteer standing who'll promise to give him a senior ministerial job if he wins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Sunak and his advisers probably thought that Bojo would have resigned as a result of the partygate revelations in December or January, so were already prepared. Some focus group probably said that ready4rishi was more memorable than readyforrishi, hence the new domain name. Sunak's people haven't denied that the domain was prepared in advance.
