Whoever wins won't save the Tories from themselves. They don't think they need saving anyway.

I've a shed load of former colleagues over in the former colony. Most didn't vote for him in the first place but those that did were looking for someone who wasn't a career politician, in it for themselves, and would do what he/she said they would do in the election process. This of course never happens (same here) and to rally the troops they send America off to another war that they won't win. Or if by sheer incompetence or lack of resources of who they are fighting they do win, they forget to plan what to do next when they've won.

Trump ticked those boxes and for a while he did what he said he would do, or some of it, or appeared to do some of it, in the photo-ops and the stuff they released for TV news. Now they (mostly) realise he's a bigger fuckwit than any of the career politicians, trouble is they now don't know whether to continue to sit in the fire or jump back into the frying pan and have another career politician back in charge. Oh the fun of 2 party politics and voting for one idiot dictator or another. Now they are realising, those jobs he promised ain't coming back. GM just decided to shut their Lordstown plant - right in the middle of Rust Belt country where he said he's be bringing jobs back to. He hasn't, and the ones they are now losing won't be coming back anytime soon.

Of course - that doesn't explain why we ended up with a "majority" of fuckwits voting for Bodgit. Especially in cities (and towns) that haven't had a Tory MP since the days of Knocker Powell and his rivers of blood. Fellow Apprentice boss Lord Sugar wasn't standing over here, but he was backing Bodgit.

Same batshit response to the same batshit fueled virus, same batshit time, same batshit channel. Time to go back to the batshit filled cave Robin.
