Strangely enough for an early contributor and despiser of the Tory party I voted for them yesterday.
Most perplexing post of the whole campaign.
kl-
I would like to try and explain :)
- I live in Chingford and Woodford Green, so was all up for voting for Faiza Shaheen and getting rid of IDS.
- But then Labour deselect her, parachute in an out of constituency candidate and IMO remove a person who should be inside the Labour Party contributing to policy and being a voice of difference.
- This annoys me so much I can not bring myself to vote Labour.
So Faiza Shaheen decides to run as an independent, never with any real chance of winning. Whilst she is well knownlocally to political geeks, she does not have the profile of Jeremy Corbyn and is never going to win. All she will do it split the Labour vote and let IDS back in.
I think it was a little self-indulgent & vindictive to run, so I found it hard to vote for her.
Finally, my dream outcome of the election at this point was that Sunak loses his seat and IDS becomes interim leader of the Tory party (a la Michael Howard) which then helps to set in train the death spiral we all wish for. IDS is too wet for the Right, too Right wing for the remaining 'sensible tories' and too incompetent a political operator to keep the party together.
So, that is why I found myself voting for IDS yesterday morning.
Given Sunak's resignation, it might come true!

Aside from that, is this enough to set the next stage of destruction in motion? All we need is a few twats to get sweaty and sexy with Farage and the death spital could start.
