We're halfway there, the hits are on. The ruling organization takes an different and awkward step on the dance floor. Conservatives no longer fight to win, but call on voters to ease the scale of defeat, threatening us with a imagination of the Labour organization winning with "supermajority” (like the American “supermajority”) would endanger democracy. We put our hands apart, we squint our eyes. Not only is there no thought of any translation into the British political system, but in the mouth of ministers and members of the ruling organization for 14 years, which in the last parliament had an advantage of 80 votes, sounds peculiarly pathetic.
From the very beginning of the Tories' morale campaign, it was low. A fewer days after the Prime Minister He amazed us not only, but besides members of their own party, announcing that the election will take place on 4 July, the party's office sent out notewhere he complains of deficiency of enthusiasm from erstwhile Members and current candidates. A memo leaked to the media due to the fact that 1 of the competent staff members attached it to a general run e-mail. And the level of the ruling party's run is truly embarrassing.
Is it possible that we are truly surviving in the last days of Rome? The Conservative Party, the most effective political device in Britain in 200 years, seems to be falling apart before our eyes. If the fresh government had yet decided to change the election order into any form of proportional representation, Sunak's government could have been the last government of the Tories for many, many, many years.
What happens to the Conservative organization after the election, let's leave it for 3 weeks. For now, the material from the run itself is for at least 1 book and a PhD in political science.
The erstwhile Members have not only lost their head and enthusiasm. 1 of the ministers, fierce anti-EU propagandaist Steve Baker, decided after announcing the launch of the election run Go on vacation to Greece. another Tories pretend they're not Tories. Show self-preservation instinct and want to keep the occupation at all costs? Or possibly it's a signal that right after the election they want to change membership – unfortunately allowed.
Two Conservative Members passed to Labour before the election was announced, and another Right after. erstwhile Minister decided to advance his candidacy a photograph from Nigel Farage's birthday party, who, to remind you, is simply a candidate for another party!
Another candidate pasted his a face with the word "work" on a red background. And from a distance, and up close, it looks like she's out of the Labour press. Those who do not have the skill to masquerade or the desire to taste the loser have fallen distant in the run-offs. 75 Members The Conservative organization has announced that it does not intend to stand for election. Among them they are as well-deserved for the party, though not necessarily for the country as Theresa May, Michale Gove, Acids Kwarteng, Domink Raab or Nadhim Zahawi.
Conservative organization president Richard Holden had more luck, connections or hooks on individual in Parliament. At the last minute, the organization moved it to a site safe for the Tories in Essex, which is almost 500 km from the constituency that it has represented so far. This even outraged his fellow organization members. Holden, asked by a SKY journalist of reacting to this controversy, as the filmed toy 3 times answered, “When Labour comes to power, all households will pay an additional £2,000 tax! The Labour organization will abolish taxation relief for private schools. The labour Party. O Laboga, an ideological obsession!’ And so 3 times, until the interview was yet interrupted by his aide from the staff and frightened a persistent journalist. I encourage you to watch.
With his hand at heart, it was 1 of the most embarrassing moments of the current election run – and competition is large. Biggest on the Prime Minister's side.
During a peculiar election program attended by an audience, SKY reminded Sunak that he was a popular and popular politician rather late – at the beginning of his tenure the newspapers even called him "Disha Rishi" (sexy Rishi, but to rhyme). She then asked the Prime Minister to share with the voters something about himself that would convince us of him. Consent – the question was average successful, but the answer of the Prime Minister and the chief election run was much weaker.
Sunak first laughed nervously and revealed that despite the long-repentant story of his healthy lifestyle – peloton, hunger, gym, healthy nutrition (i.e. like all another guy undergoing a midlife crisis in Lycra) he eats quite a few sugar, mostly in the form of Twix bars and gels. The audience in the studio burst with laughter, Twitter burst with memes from Haribo. And I was frozen in front of the screen. However, I have a connection with Sunak – a fondness for jelly beans.
But it's nothing, this interview! The Prime Minister's next conversation, this time for ITV television, will go to the annals of public relations and election campaigns. Sunak considered it so crucial to give this interview that he had rushed and prematurely left the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Allied landing day in Normandy. This is 1 of the last events that could be attended by a fewer survivors of this run (many of them were teenagersWhen They were sent to slaughter).
Following the publication of the photos on which Biden, Macron and Shulza stood not Sunak, but there was Prime Minister David Cameron, many speculated that Sunaka had experienced any abrupt household tragedy or something serious had happened in the country, which we will know about in a moment. Sunak remained silent for 2 days. But ITV decided to release a short part of the interview just the day after the recording – and the Prime Minister's priorities became clear to everyone.
Many and various political commentators considered the decision to blow off the global part of D-Day celebrations to be the biggest blunder in the past of our campaign. It's hard to believe to what degree the Prime Minister lacks political instinct. due to the fact that even those of us who do not celebrate this anniversary and do not participate in military parades realize that for the vast majority of citizens it is simply a very emotional and strong symbol.
"The Telegraph", a paper supporting the Tories since their organization was inactive called Whigs, published the results of public opinion surveys. It follows that 2 thirds of the voters consider the Prime Minister's behaviour to be "unacceptableIt’s okay. ” Apart from the question of description or subjective sense of decency, Sunak's behaviour is astonishing. For everyone – but the Prime Minister and his advisers – it is clear that specified a manifestation of patriotism as D-Day celebration is the most popular among the voters of his party.
No 1 thought that anything else would overshadow it was specified a faux pas premier, but the cherry on the cake turned out to be the interview itself, which was more crucial to Sunak than celebrating together with European leaders. The full interview was aired a week after the celebrations, erstwhile the voices of outrage had stopped. Sunak drove in it from the very beginning, practically before sitting in the chair. Entering the studio, he apologized to the writer for being late, saying that “the delights were prolonged” – and again he released this tense giggle.
Sunaka was asked, he is able to empathize with the realities of the lives of average citizens, given that his property is greater than the royal one. Over the last fewer years, many of us had to refuse to meet our basic needs, and each year it is only worse. Does the Prime Minister realize what it truly means to “beside”, “reject”? tense giggle. The Prime Minister assures us that he remembers childhood as well as everything he wanted. tense laughter. What was missing? tense laughter. quite a few things," says the Prime Minister. tense laughter. What in particular? – questions the interviewer. tense laughter. Especially tense laughter. ‘In particular, SKY TV“ Sunak confesses.
Memes and sketches They're all falling apart. My favourite reaction was to start a collection page. Fund for SKY tv for Sunaka. The income will be transferred to the Trussell Trust, a charity for poorness eradication, which has spent over 3 million in the last 12 months food packages in the UK – twice as many as 5 years ago.
Nervous laughter erstwhile interacting with journalists or voters seems to be a fundamental component of the Sunakov existence, as well as the perspiration. And Sunak's run turns out to be a chain of gaf, 1 unmercifully chasing the other.
On the first day of the campaign, a place was aired with Sunak responding to the questions of a group of workers. But dressed in reflective vests and asking the Prime Minister questions “workers” turned out to be disguised Councillors of the Conservative Party. During an election gathering in Wales Prime Minister asked the peoplewhether they are looking forward to Euro 2024. The question was met with a creaking silence due to the fact that Wales fell out in the eliminations. During their visit to Northern Ireland, Sunak and his staff decided to talk best close the dock where Titanica was built. It happened what anyone with a political instinct at kid level in simple school would predict: Prime Minister, are you in charge of a sinking ship?? – journalists asked. And shoo-in, fresh meme online.
And the last one? I mean – the last 1 at the time of writing this text, due to the fact that behind the Tories and Sunak blunders only his staff and specialists, whom they hired. The last 1 annoyed me profoundly due to the fact that I lost the bet, betting that the election would take place in May or June. The bet had a large course, I lost by 4 days, and I put it up months ago – unlike Craig Williams, Who bet July election date 3 days before their announcement. Williams is not only a erstwhile MP and current Tory candidate, but besides a private parliamentary secretary to Sunaka. You are under investigation by the Gambling Commission and the Prime Minister has just refused to remove him from the electoral list.
Exciting times for political experts and commentators, but for most people the possible of the next 3 weeks of this chaos is simply tearing. Morale Tories falls, Labour organization candidates can cool champagne. Unless there's a seismic shock, Labour He'll most likely win the election. So decisive to form a fresh government. The parties of Green and Liberal Democrats, who have grown popular in fresh years, British ordination as usual will punish, although there is simply a chance that in the south of the country the Liberals will collect votes so far cast on the Tories and get more tickets than always before. And the improvement organization yells all day about them being the opposition now! 'Cause last week she was 1 point ahead of the Tories, with a three-point mistake rate, in 1 panel studies of voters' intentions.
Unlike our media, I do not want to spend much time with Nigel Farage and his party. Farage announced his candidacy Week After declaring that he would not run, he prefers to aid Trump in the States. Let me just remind you that he is so popular that this is his eighth approach to getting a parliamentary mandate. It hasn't worked yet, but erstwhile lost with a candidate dressed as a dolphin.
Yeah, you read well, he lost to dolphin Named Flipper. 1 of our electoral traditions is candidates not only independent, but – let's say – completely from another barrel. My favourite candidate, number Binface (mouth like a trash can), formerly known as Lord Buckethead (head like a bucket) who in the May election for Mayor of London He got more votes than organization candidate Britain First, now standing in Richmond and Northallerton territory against Sunak. If he wins, I'll open a bag of jelly beans.
