UK General Discussion: 2017 and onwards, Mayhem

[morgieb]

I don't want Javid to be PM, but I'd I was a conservative I'd probably want him given he is broadly acceptable to all factions and doesn't have any glaring personality flaws (e.g. Hunt is too superficial, Leadsom is dumb, Gove is a weasel, BoJo is a human disaster)

Very funny business with the mace, although he could have theatrically waved it around like Heseltine.

I'm probably being too judgmental about right-wingers, but I feel like Javid's ethnic background could be a severe liability.

No, unless we're talking about the far-right, conservatives love minorities that happen to conservatives so they can say we're not racist/implement policies that hurt poor minorities, Javid (a minority) is our leader!!!

More talking about the risk of Blair/UKIP/May style voters bolting back to Labour.
