Government Watch - 2

No!!! Of course not. It was never shown on anything other than Parliament.

I think there must be some in that conference who wish Ruth Davidson was their leader. The contrast with May is so extreme.

She has been mentioned as a prospect

Just switching channels Catalan looks bad

The people's assembly were marching there today. They have a week long festival, which is probably much more exciting than the Tory Conference.

Ruth Davidson needs to be an MP in Westminster before she can become Tory leader.

And has said that she had no intention of leaving Edinburgh.
I'd guess that any 'safe' Tory constituency would jump at the chance of having her.
I think, as the party falls apart, she may have to step in and sort them out.

May still insists that her cabinet is united.

Can the Tories actually get rid of her at the conference?

Ruth Davidson can look good, shouting from the sidelines. She'd be as hopeless as any other Tory, as leader, but maybe a bit better than Boris.

I think, as the party falls apart, she may have to step in and sort them out.
If she's the one they're relying on, they might as well give up.
(And I think they should give up.)

She only seemed better at the Tory conference, because those speakers before her were absolutely dreadful, but really she didn't say anything worthwhile.

I thought some of the areas that she identified as an issue were interesting. I am not sure they are capable of getting out of the neo-liberal economic trap for long enough to solve them however and, even if they did they would still be overwhelmed by the self inflicted problems of Brexit. May made that impossible from the beginning by thinking only the majority mattered and not, while accepting the direction of the vote, considering the other half of the country.

Eric Pickles has said that the party should be prepared for snap elections.
I wonder who he has been talking to.

I prefer this story.

Or even this one.

She's going to be busy - or do you think she will get someone else to do it for her while she hides and pretends it's nothing to do with her?

The hal was half empty.

What do you mean by the neo-liberal economic trap?

The hall, even.

Primrose, I give you the benefit of assuming you are not stupid - do some research.

I have - I cannot find anyone who uses the term unless they are referring to Chile. Is that what you meant?

Don't think much of your search engine.
You could look at tax research or open democracy.

Only asking for clarity so I can follow the discussion.
I know what neoliberalism is.
I don't know what is meant by neo-liberal economic trap in the context of the post.

Instead of telling me I can search or research, just post a couple of links. I'm sure I'm not the only person who would appreciate a deeper understanding.
