REETH AND DISTRICT GAZETTE LTD First Thoughts . . . But don’t waste your time watching those; google ‘Steve Moore - The Mad By the time you read this, we will know Drummer’ and watch some of his videos who the final two candidates are for instead, because, as Bangambiki the leadership of the Conservative Habyarimana wrote in his book Pearls party - and in effect, the two of Eternity: “Nature has endowed us candidates for the next Prime Minister with some measure of insanity to cope They will have been decided on by the with the realities of daily life.” I don’t 313 Conservative MPs. think he had the Brexit debacle in mind Then, a month later, after - but it fits. MAC Conservative Party members have had their vote, we will find out who the new PM will be. There are approximately 160,000 members of the Conservative Party, out of the 47million or so people who are registered to vote. That means the next PM will have been chosen by less than 0.4% of the electorate. Of that number, probably only just over half will have voted for the eventual winner. Democracy in action for you. What has sparked this line of thought? Well, I have just read that BBC One will be hosting a live election debate between the Conservative MPs who are still in the race. Why is our licence fee (which most of you over 75 will have to start paying next year) being wasted on this? There is nothing 99.6% of us can do about it; and the candidates don’t really care about what we think but are simply concerned with their own ambition and getting into Downing Street on the backs of the 0.4%. I’ve no idea how that debate went because I didn’t watch it. I had far better things to do: there was some paint that I needed to watch drying. And believe it or not, there are plenty of videos on YouTube of paint drying and of people watching paint dry - just in case you haven’t any paint of your own to watch.
