Watching the Boris v Hunt debate I am glad I'm not a Conservative party member - the choice might as well be which eye you would like gouged out with a spoon...Quote:

I think Hunt has come on stronger and answered more questions directly - but I suspect a lot of members will already have voted in favour of Boris - I think it might be closer than first expected.
I have to admit to not following it in any great detail, from what I have seen though Hunt comes across as a more suitable candidate, but as you say it looks as though Boris is favourite.Quote:

Me neither, Boris still comes across as a buffoon (couldn't even appear on national TV with his tie straight or his hair brushed) but "people" tell me it is all an act and he is very clever. Hunt comes across as a... slimy sh!t bag, but a safer pair of hands? I can only say that if a choice between those two is which eye to gouge out, a choice for Corbyn would be to gouge both eyes out... Lib Dems could make gains but they're strictly remain which isn't democratic to the referendum result which in my opinion (though I didn't vote for it) should stand. Green party, perhaps? Politics in the UK really is in a mess, to be honest.
Both as bad as each other tbh.
Tory party are dinasors
That's the sort of summarising the BBC website could do with.Quote:

I try to avoid political discussion as it rarely ends well, so despite having said all that I'm going to back away slowly and bid you goodnight :)
:lol: Normally my stance on the forum is never discuss politics or religion - not sure what came over me Rich! Maybe we got away with it? :) :goodnight:Quote:
