Rees-Mogg would get my vote. The more i see and hear of him the more I like him. Very calm and measured in all of his responses.

I think the people of this country have had enough of rich toffs

That's just prejudiced. I don't care if a multimillionaire or a pauper run the country as long as the CAN run the country.

exactly but the potless lefties wouldn't like that.

This is funny.  It's the potless righties that have f***ed it up more than anyone else.

Correction:  It's not funny but it is true. How do poverty stricken people vote Conservative?

Because they aspire to be better and are only in poverty because of short term circumstances.

Ever since the banking crisis whoever was going to be in government would have a thankless task. The previous labour government are the ones who really fucked things up. I honestly dread to think what would have happened if Corbyn did win like he thinks he did.

So we think the previous Labour government caused the banking crisis? We think they might have managed the recovery worse? Any evidence/numbers?

Thatcher started deregulation and everyone since is to blame. Americans dirty capitalism was mainly to blame, coupled with the fact we follow them over a cliff in everything.

Prejudiced or not Michael Gove will probably say it when he runs for the leadership.

I dislike Gove instinctively, the way you would a large insect.

Michael Gove is definitely a candidate for an alien wearing human skin.
