Now's not the time for a General Election
She's gone, the Blob has won. Soon some adherent of the gradual-decline, globalist orthodoxy will be Prime Minister (again).
Cries will now be for an immediate General Election. Instinctively, this makes sense: with absolutely no democratic mandate – not even the support of the Conservative Party membership – the next PM will be little more than our technocratic overlord.
However, I do not see the rush for a General Election. In fact, it would be a dangerous act. As it stands, the right is in disarray. It needs time to reconstitute itself and to construct a new party which can viably face the electorate at a national level.
With Truss' demise, we are simply back to the status quo. It doesn't ultimately matter who of this bunch is in charge, be it Hunt, Sunak or Starmer: we continue to live under the same managerialist, WEF-flavoured government.
Yet, if this ridiculous government is allowed to limp on for the rest of its term, a real opposition might be able to emerge just in time. It will require negotiation between the fractured forces of real conservatives – Farage, Tice, Fox – and those elsewhere – William Clouston’s SDP.
For those who wish for an immediate General Election: be careful what you wish for. Five years of Labour and the damage they would unleash is many times less preferable to two years of Tory malaise. Of course this government is illegitimate and its behaviour beyond contempt. But what's the rush? It's back to business as usual for the Uniparty.
The time is now to create a real opposition. It will require the few actual conservatives left in the Conservative Party to put the country first and leave that dire organisation. No more compromises, no more pulling punches. The clock's ticking.
I agree and don't agree at the same time.
Yes to everything you say about this government. And yes, it doesn't matter if Labour are in power because it will just be a WEF government.
However, I don't think a year or so is enough time for an alternative. I hope that I can be wrong. What this country needs is a Trump figure and we don't have one. Perhaps WEF Labour is what this country must face.
I actually wake with a recurring nightmare -- we are told that elections are no longer necessary in this country as it's all agreed that, given the state of emergency, all political parties are to work together for the "greater good". Sadly, I could see too many people accepting such a thing now.
What is needed is a Second Reformation.
We need some sort of (peaceful) uprising. A wiping away of the Establishment and a replacement with serious people holding serious views who are capable of individual thought.
People who aren't career politicians. Who aren't in it for the money/power/prestige but for the Love of Country.
Are there any such people? Would they be willing to pull together and would they have the courage to turn their backs on the globalists, the "experts", the technocrats, the homeless "citizens of the world"?
Sadly, I see no sign of them
