They’ve now had three attempts to get rid of this deeply unimpressive Prime Minister. They know they are doomed. But they haven’t got the balls, excuse the pun, to get rid.
They can’t speak to each other to prepare a well organized coup, each attempt has ended being a damp squib. If they can’t even organize a leadership election in a political party, how can they run a country? Well, they’re not. Apart from reacting to events, it’s hard to think of anything concrete which has come from the last 5 years of this Government. Lots of words and policy announcements, but very little effect. As someone once said, in office but not in power.
On an alternative note, the Tories got themselves into a small difficulty on Monday when David Cameron appeared to downgrade the commitment to recognize marriage in the tax system. After some little twisting, he came back and corrected himself to turn it back into a commitment. This morning on the Today programme, he fessed up and said that he made a mistake and apologized. How refreshing, a politician telling the truth? It would have been easier to have covered up his mistake. But as Jim Hacker said once, honesty is sometimes the best way of surprising the opposition!
Squiffy.
