According to google, there are around 180,000 entitled to vote. A poll of only 730 of them, 15% of whom were don't knows, is hardly 'knocking it out of the park'.

Don’t like her Tora, too much like Thatcher ( shudder)

[ToraToraTora]

proportionally much bigger sample that for any other election Naomi. If if all the don't knows go with Rich, she still wins. I know which side I'm happier to be on.

I don't think Liz Truss is anything like Margaret Thatcher, personally, and economically in fact there is a good argument for saying that Mr Sunak is the true heir to Thatcher.

I was interested to hear a party member on the radio this morning saying he thinks MPs should be deciding this, and I agree, even if it would lead to the person I like less getting returned.

That's probably had ttt choking on his cornflakes, Bobbi.

Agree Bobbi, can’t stand her, it’s only the Conservative Party members that do.

09:39: "Do like her Tora, too much like Thatcher ( Hooray) " - that's a huge compliment for anyone bobbi. You can't be too thin, too rich or too much like TGL.

"I was interested to hear a party member on the radio this morning saying he thinks MPs should be deciding this, and I agree, even if it would lead to the person I like less getting returned. " = yeah well they would wouldn't they.

[Ken4155]

"You can't be...too rich..."

Isn't that the reason you gave me for your intention to vote against Sunak?

[ichkeria]

What do you mean "they would, wouldn't they"?

[Bobbisox1]

Ich I see Sunak as a Blairite, his mannerisms etc , both candidates are not who I want to lead the party I’ve voted for should there be a GE

[ichkeria]

Surely it goes a bit deeper than mannerisms (!)

[ToraToraTora]

ken: "Isn't that the reason you gave me for your intention to vote against Sunak? " - Not really but as I'm sure you know I was quoting from a personal point of view.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes of course it does but I see him as being ‘Oily’ that would slither himself out of situations just like Blair before him did, in other words, I don’t trust him

[ichkeria]

I quite like Liz Truss. I have no idea why: I think it amounts to the fact that I suspect she can tongue-lash Russian ambassadors in a way I imagine Sunak could only dream of.
But, as the Con Party member I referred to earlier was saying, I don't know either of them and therefore feel it is the people who DO know them who should be deciding.

[tiggerblue10]

I haven't been paying much attention due to personal issues but what have they both put on the table?

[tiggerblue10]

Brought to the table, I mean!

[ToraToraTora]

ich, we know the party would go for Sunk so from a purely selfish point of view I am grateful the MPs don't decide.

Starmer has already ordered a box of Stella and a Vindaloo.
I do hope you are right :-)

Sir Beer is toast whoever wins gromit. This country has rarely voted real labour.
