The Tory leadership contest should not be happening !!!

It was Boris' mission to make our country a better place,

But a rebellion by clueless Tory M.P.'S was gathering pace.

Boris was and still is the best leader to improve our lives,

But has been brought to an end by his assasins wielding their knives.

 

The charge sheet against Boris in the Tory affray,

Were trivial and exaggerated, Boris should stay.

As the pretenders are now scrabbling for his crown,

Perceived by voters as small and irrelevant for bringing him down.

 

In their search for his successor the Tories with each other should unite,

Instead they publicly,viciously argue and fight.

Keir Starmer will be rubbing his hands with glee,

Noting the devastation in the Conservative party.

 

Rishi Sunak, a first class chancellor ,rebeliously got Boris the sack,

Many will not forgive him for sliding destruction into his colleague's back.

Bring back Boris who else can we trust,

Or maybe our Foreign secretary Liz Truss.

The Tories have long had the reputation of sacrificing their leaders when they thought their chance of electability was
suffering. The knives (like Shakespeare's assassins in "Julius
Caesar") have always been kept concealed for just such a
occasion. Like "Royalty", the institution is seen to be paramount, greater than any leader however successful or popular at a given time,. Thatcher was the most notable victim
in recent memory - after Ted Heath, There is irony in her downfall when recalling her own part in Heath's departure from office. Unfortunately, Bojo seemed unable to grasp that a sequence of perceived dishonesty does not endear a PM to
the people when the latter suffer the consequences in their
own lives as a result. Bojo failed to understand that -
"You can be seen as a hero in Ukraine
But in the UK - just an arrogant 'pain' "
It was given to Sir Keir Starmer to provide the closing line
when referring to the knives out behaviour of Bojo's cabinet choices in neat poetical style:
"The Charge of the Lightweight Brigade!"

A lot of toxicity in the debate tonight,Liz Truss came over especially well and knowing her modest background she would get my vote as she would be more sympathetic to us from poorer backgrounds.

A brave opinion, but a minority one, I suspect, Hugh. (Or tongue-in-cheek?)

I've never quite understood the personality cult that surrounds a leader. Surely the KKK or the Hitler Youth just carry on with a changed leader, why should I consider my opinion on the outfit?
