"A new centrist party maybe governing in coalition with either the extreme lefties or righties"
The thing is our voting system is not geared to that, perhaps, sadly.
Macron did that in France (whose system is actually better) and it worked well to start, but what happened was it naturally attracted all the sensible and talented people from the other parties and left only extreme opposition largely. So that's then the problem: who do you vote for if you don't want the middle ground any more?
What's left? But French politics is more fluid anyway. We have a system of winner take all, and works best when you have two main parties. What's likely to happen at the next election is an unoffical alliance of Labour and Lib Dem to oppose a party which has been in power pretty much for 14 years.

It is all pointless and a missed opportunity.
We have had weeks of this and neither candidate has presented 1 new policy.
We have record inflation and the BoE says a recession is imminent, and Truss’ says she will cut taxes, without explaining how that will be paid for.
So it is clear, whoever is elected we will get the same rudderless, incompetent Government we have had for 3 years.
We need a string leader to see us through the tough times that are approaching, but neither Sunak or Truss is that.

I meant to say that I favour Liz Truss for the sole reason that I think she will be harder on Russia. Sometimes pretending to be the Iron Lady can be a good thing.
Sunak appears more sensible, but he messed that budget up badly which I am not sure has been forgotten.
For the sake of the country I hope the Tories put the Johnson in-fighting behind them quickly.

She doesnt need to, unlike yourself most Tory members will be au fait with the principle of lowering taxes to increase tax income. Also, again unlike yourself, they will have a reasonable understanding of economics.
Some of the resident lefties seem to have forgotten that this is all aimed at Tory Party members not the general electorate and certainly not at a bunch of mooning Pinkos who would never vote for them anyway.

Ellipsis, I see Sunak is boasting of how he's taking money from the poor to give to the rich. This must surely win him more support!
