Kemi Badenoch- power crazed and self-obsessed 

The far right and those close to the far right have a tendency to be very unpleasant people, its part of the belief system they have and also why they will desperately insist they are not far right, just that everyone else are radical lefties.

Yep

And possibly evil.

@mrgavinboyd He isn't talking about Keir Starmer, the man who is releasing a horde of child rapists from prison. That is not only immoral, it is wicked and evil.

​@pauljeffrey1181, how could he release a hoard of rapists when there has hardly been one convicted in the last 14 years.

Listen to yourselves, fighting each other to get more name calling in. Pathetic and hardly incisive political debate.😆 All happy calling any person in the country that wants to control immigration and limit the numbers a racist. I will ask again tell me what your immigration suggested policy is ? Do you have the courage to say you want open borders and unlimited numbers, come on discuss policy, not think up a nasty names 😆🤣

@@pauljeffrey1181 So he is singling child rapists out. Where do you get that from? They have to release some inmates and are choosing the ones who are no danger to the public. Child rapists won't be among them. You are not well. Prescription: avoid the Murdoch press at any cost. Your sanity depends on it.

Nasty vicious-tongued Serpentine individual. Bring her on though.

She's just what Cons / Tory Party needs, sunak No 2...the tory's just love swimming in the s*it pit they just can't help it, it like watching the chaos theory in action...

And then what? Will we be in a better place to deal with their madness or will the lunatics realise that we really need a hard right brexiteer band of upper class twits that think the electorate is to be manipulated rather than served?

@@gavinparry5426 I'd settle for 100 years.

Fear not, the way this lot go on they'll manage to keep themselves out of office without any help from anyone else. Might've been best all round had the Lib Dems come second, because as sure as hell this lot are going to be just as crap in opposition as they were in Government.

They will be.

As a woman I think it is patently obvious that some of the nastiest people in the Conservative Party are women. I think that there are some dubious women in the Labour Party too. What about the far right Leaders in Italy and France .Gender isn’t the issue, maybe the truth of the matter is that put quite simply, in recent years women have had the opportunity to get into these positions. I would say that there have been a lot of inept male politicians in the Conservative Party too, but they don’t seem as nasty for some reason.

@@therepublicofcynica Compared to the 3 witches may be not, just a poor judge of bedfellow.

I was thinking that myselfe,, to each their own 😅 ..

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They certainly do.

Yes, and a very easy way to improve their bank balance.

The Tories have watched too many episodes of the Kardashians and are now living it. If Baden9ch becomes party leader the Tories will certainly not be re elected.

Errrr......mmmm.....yes.

Short answer, Yes. Long answer, Yes…

Understatement

Last four words unnecessary.

Dosen't need any of them, it was badenough having to endure Truss for 44 days.😂😂

Google psychopath. They have no guilt.

@@julianshepherd2038 Sure enough.

Brass neck?

I think she is another whose cultural roots are in the USA and whose politics derives from the far-right Republicans, which is not surprising as she was brought up in the USA.

@@jonzu217 I think the roots of her version of right wing thinking go back further than the last few decades; certainly as far back as the 1930s in the UK where Tories and other right wingers along with Mosley as well as the usual suspects in the press; the Daily Mail,Daily Express and Telegraph were complaining about the number of immigrants(mostly Jewish refugees fleeing the NAZIs)arriving in the UK

Inspired by exPM Johnson.

Someone who kicks off at the speaker in Parliament like a second rate Mcenroe on centre court is neither leadership nor Prime Ministerial material. Anger issues like hers could spark off a war. How in God's name did this woman ever get re elected is beyond me?

It certainly does still wash,where do you think the Reform and Tory votes were arrived at? This shower will get returned again at next opportunity due to natural right wing leanings of English voters.Mores the pity.

@@Paul-k6h Labour needs to address the lack of appeal they have amongst large sections of the white working class.

That wasn't from the middle. There are always outliers in any group. That's why the Bell Curve is shaped like a bell. The majority is in the centre, and not to the extremes. If it was, the plutocrats funding this effort wouldn't have to spend so much money trying to create the conditions where they can take over power. In fact, this is nothing knew. The same thing happened when Liberal economics failed in the first half of the 20th century. And we realised then, as we will pretty soon realise again in the near future, that being skilled at making money, doesn't mean you are qualified to run a community or a nation. And we will not turn to extremists at either end to clean up the mess, but very much closer to the centre. When you govern a nation, you have to represent everyone. If you don't, and sow hate and division, you won't hold on to power for very long.

@@CuriousCrow-mp4cx Your last sentence is interesting, considering the Tories did precisely this and somehow remained in power for 14 long years.

@@CuriousCrow-mp4cx labour didnt get voted in because of any centre ground ideals,people just wanted a change in Govt The centre ground is an absolute myth,people on the right or on the left dont think they are anywhere but the centre,its down to their own perceptions

They are spotted by the 'right people' and found to be malleable,so they are fast tracked into these parliamentary positions,where they do the bidding of the 'right people'.

@@Paul-k6h Right Wing men tend to like powerful ,nasty women . Reminds them of mater and Matron

@@Paul-k6h Good point.

Egoism and narcissism are human traits not exclusive to one gender or the other. Indeed, despite feminism, females with this tendency still lag their male peers in accessing the opportunity to indulge themselves. However, that's irrelevant in dealing with the power-hungry. They mad, bad, and dangerous to tolerate. These aren't politicians out of any conviction to help their country. As has been demonstrated over 14 years, they actually despise anyone who isn't like them, including their fellow countrymen. That's the irony of working class Conservatives voting for people who wouldn't give them the time of day if they didn't need to. Boris Johnson during his time at the Bullingdon Club reportedly tore up a £50 mote in front of a tramp. Liz Truss and the other authors of Brittania Unchanined, wrote about how British workers were lazy good for nothings. Kemi Badenoch claimed that Nigeria was better than the UK. Need I go on? The British public needs to remember that when people show you who they really are, believe them. How these blowhards treat people they think don't matter, is how they will treat you. They don't respect you, or what you have given them in any meaningful way. As some say on the street, "they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire."That's why they lie to you easier than silk rubbing on your skin. They are deeply cynical, and dangerous people. And we shouldn't turn to them out of fear for the future. Instead, we should face the future head on, and work together to rebuild and repair our country. We should leave no-one, or nowhere behind. We need to stop and reverse poverty and ill health, as you can't pull up your socks if you don't have any. And most importantly, we need to be more sceptical of quick and easy answers to complex problems and those that offer them, whether they are wealthy or posh. Really. We need to get over our issues with class. And we need to trust ourselves more. Instead of listening to crackpots, we need to use evidence. Real evidence to helps us decide. And stop listening to crackpots, chancers, and rabblerousers. And we need courage too, because what decision we make, there are always consequences. We want the best, and we might just get it, if we don't succumb to fear. Good Luck everybody.

Well, it’s not like you can’t find oodles of male counterparts among the Tories as well. And from both “old British” and “diverse ethnic” backgrounds as well. No matter any preference one might have in gender and personal background, there’s a Tory right winger for you. They are, ironically, quite a diverse bunch.

As I noted on a prior Prof. Wilson video, there is a plausible way to power for a Badenoch (or similar Tory right wing culture warrior leader). If Starmer doesn’t or isn’t seen to attempt serious economic reforms, but merely runs an “austerity light” economic regime (citing his “fiscal rules”), he will effectively remove economic policy as a feature of the next election, due to essentially continuing what has been Tory policy for the last decade. In that scenario, a culture warrior Tory leader might be able to “energise the base” (to use a US term), whereas Labour is likely to face dejection and disappointment among their voters and thus an uphill battle vis-à-vis turnout. And Starmer can’t bank on being as lucky next time as he was this time around, when he got a landslide victory, despite marginal, overall gains in voting share (and a significant drop in turnout) on 2019. Starmer’s incredible luck in facing simultaneous meltdowns in both the Tories and SNP, as well as Reform UK fracturing the right (wing) vote in this election, while also avoiding getting into too much of a head to head competition with the LibDems or significant defection to Greens/Independents is something that Labour really shouldn’t be banking on in future elections. As for the “responsible electorate” thesis, the current outcome is mainly due to ridiculously lopsided FPTP results when you compare vote/seat shares, and that’s even without accounting for tactical voting and turnout/apathy.

@@DebatingWombat I agree that Starmer's Labour have to perform or suffer the consequences. I also agree that the results were dependent on first past the post and tactical voting but that's the system isn't it? How and why does that make the results less responsible? Do you think Labour will change this system? After all it has gifted them a massive majority.

​@@chriswright3179 Just because “it’s the system” doesn’t mean scrutinising a completely lopsided result (votes/seats) is out of bounds, because it raises serious questions about whether the results produced by this system can be said to reflect the actual popular sentiment as reflected by the votes cast to at least some degree of accuracy. When the result is so far from reflecting the actual ballots, it’s hard to argue that the results reflect a “responsible electorate”, given that the actual votes of said electorate differ so widely from the distribution of seats. The most absurd example is arguably Wales where Labour suffered a 3.9 point loss in vote share (on a lower turnout), compared to 2019, but nevertheless gained roughly 85% of the seats on a 37% vote share. Meanwhile, a slightly larger proportion of almost 40% of Welsh voters were entirely unrepresented, given that neither the Tories, Reform UK or the Greens gained a single seat in Wales. And no, I don’t think Labour will change the system, because they either naively think that they aren’t going to be in the position their main opponents (the Tories and SNP) are in now, or they’re willing to be equally squelched in the future, as long as they can enjoy the benefits like this once in a while.

Yes quite why people do not accept this is strange, the ideological divide is HUGE ! It is beyond rescue.

It's not possible for Wilson to do that.

@@therepublicofcynica Everything is possible providing it adheres to community guidelines. 🤫 The problem with today's world is, it focuses itself on those who have undermined everything that's good and proper about this world thus neglecting, completely forgetting, the things that give us hope for a brighter tomorrow. Example; Diddums Donny and the GOP are consuming everything that was once great about America and doing likewise, the Conservatives in the UK. And they have the brass neck to call themselves patriots.

I would add to that a labour MP for Liverpool "Bessie" Braddock, who served as an MP for 25 years.
