But if it was an elected house in you'd likely end up with more tories just voting it through.

It needs to be different, ideally more long term than parliament, but not life, it'll be difficult to get rid of party bias completely but maybe some kind of 10 year stints from a mix of nominations from various sectors of society or something. Fuck knows, but it's already riddled with Tories so that's hardly a reason to avoid change.

But the Tories there are less party centric.
Maybe the first push for proportional representation is in the upper house?
Or/and an even split of headcount between the home nations like the US senate but ours has 25 members per nation?
My concern is you just end up with more career politicians

You misunderstand, Sunak is the change candidate to right all the wrongs of the previous governments, even the ones that he was a key part of.
Actually wait, wasn’t that the late 2023 message?
Yep, it’s now all “we have a plan that’s working”, “Labour have no plan” and b”back to square one”.
Apologies, my message discipline is all to cock

And then there’s the deranged Sunak Christmas video https://x.com/rishisunak/status/1739333181101179108?s=48&t=GQU4fZKg_dPr9bCLIAB5cA
What fresh hell is this? Can anyone explain to me why the PM is doing ads for Coke now?

The article is very poorly written too.

As soon as Sunak moves away from scripted material, ie meeting ordinary people in the street he's in trouble.
He seams to simply ignor questions he doesn't like up to an including walking off. He hasn't got the common touch. I think he will be kept away from the us, the general public during the election campaign, for fear of more Winchesters happening.
Another example of him not being good at the arts and crafts of Politics.

Yeah, you can argue the walking away was his minders and he did continue to engage in the longer clip, but the laugh? It's really odd and increadibly rude
The one big issue he has is there is no answer to most of the obvious questions normal people will be asking. The Conservatives have fucked it on just about every metric, so what are you going to say when people just ask for it to be like it used to be? There is no answer.

He's an idiot that doesn't understand how it might be perceived?

The beauty of that encounter with the lady in Winchester was when she said why can’t it go back to how it was, mirroring sunaks let’s not go back to square one with starmer.
He’s dreadful every time he has to interact with a really person. He hasn’t even been trying to improve he’s been kept away from all be by-elections.

They are at it again. Call for a new leader by Sir Simon Clarke.

Amazing. Hope this is the start of a campaign. Just going to make the collapse bigger.

Wow. The latest poll question they have asked is the most inept I've ever seen. I would have been embarrassed to include that when I was writing questionnaires in the first year at uni.

Just wait for the headlines tomorrow. "Tories more popular than starmer"

And attacking Jeremy Corbyn and Sadiq Khan is what we've got to look forward to (especially) in London, I guess?

He's told Sunak to quit or lead the Tories to oblivion.
Don't listen to him Rishi, you're doing great!
The longer clip shows it not to be quite that bad - they continue chatting after he turns away.
But still, fuck him.
