Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
May's strength is the weakness and ineptitude of the opposition both within and outside the Conservative Party.

I can. I remember the last Labour Government, who couldn't even hold on to a Home Secretary for more than 5 minutes due to crass incompetence.
They were, however, good at plundering our gold reserves and pensions, and spending every last penny in the bank. They were really quite exceptional in that respect.

Let's hope it's a blip and that talent hasn't decided against the world of politics.

There does seem to be a severe lack of genuinely passionate MPs in all parties.
Too many career politicians, rather than those who become MPs to make a difference.

You say that, ignoring the passions stirred up by the Brexit debate! Have you been hibernating already?

Perhaps you should watch the parliamentary debates on it, then! Plenty of time devoted to it on PMQs.

Some are passionate about the amount of money they will make once they slide gracefully in their prepared Company Directorships ...

May be time dedicated to it but not many MPs in attendance, if the Express's photo the other day was accurate! https://www.express.co.uk/ourpaper

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Some interesting conclusions from the National Audit Office in their report released this morning about the government’s planning and spending framework and how to improve it.
