Somehow, David Cameron returned.

Madness

Yeah it’s truly like - on one hand, great to get rid of bad rubbish but on the other hand, why are you dragging trash back into govt?!

[tanglespiders]

GIGO. Pretty sure it’s impossible to bring anything but rubbish in or out of a Tory government.

Rishi giveth with one hand and taketh with the other.

Also I imagine he’s desperate. He was the last choice for PM in his own party. He’s not a popular man. Scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I feel like the Conservatives' internal polling in Con/Lib-Dem battlegrounds in the south must have been truly dire for them to bring Cameron back.

I don't know about everywhere else, but certainly if there was an election tomorrow my constituency would go from Tory to Lib Dem.

I think we're going to wind up with a very interesting electoral map, because I think a lot of people are leaning "anyone but Tory" but they're not necessarily enamoured of Labour right now either. I could see a coalition happening as more people just wind up voting tactically for whoever's best placed to unseat a Tory

Remember the last time the Lib Dems formed a coalition with someone

[insomniachobs]

Went so well, didn't it...

I can't believe Clegg walked away from that fiasco to make pots of money at Facebook

[insomniachobs]

White men stay failing upwards

If we ever get a general election maybe we'll find out.

But I'm same - Tories can DIAF for all I care, but Labour are not a party I want either. Two party system is absolute crap. I'd probably vote Lib Dem or Green - but I worry people remember how absolutely useless Nick Clegg and the Tory/LibDem coalition was back in the day and it'll spread voters out even more (especially seeing as a lot of them were students in that election and the students got completely boned by coalition reneging all the LibDem policies on things like higher education fees).

[insomniachobs]

The absolute latest they're allowed to push it is January 2025.

I'll prob vote Lib Dem because based on current polling they're the ones to beat the Tory MP we currently have, but if that changes by that point then my vote's going to whoever's best placed to oust them.
