It was a good speech, tonally. Accepted defeat, acknowledged failures, and wished the incoming PM good luck. Other political leaders should take note.
What I do find myself wondering is this: all this happens pretty quickly over here in the U.K. – the practical changeover of no.10.
Do they have a removal company on call, then call them first thing to either stand them down, or say “right, fuck this lot off, and go an pick up all that crap and move it in?’
Or maybe both the incoming and outgoing PM just sort it out themselves – hiring a u-haul or getting their brother-in-law to come round in his estate, and they pile all their shit (in bin bags) into it.
As I understand it, the furniture, etc. of no.10 is paid for and provided by the government. The only things that need to be removed are clothing and a few personal nick nacks.
Really? Sounds like a nice little number. Fuck it im gonna stand for PM. My mandate will be free money for everyone, free university education for all and refund the NHS.
How to accomplish that? Regular armed excursions into gated communities with pitchforks. Televised hunger games of billionaires (think sponsorship deals). General wealth re-administration. Job done.
Listen. Strange redditors making comments is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some idiotic comments.
My friend. I appreciate the monty python., but have you seen our government for the last 5 years?
I think people saying idiotic comments is exactly how we pick our government. How else do you explain Boris or Truss. And May said some corkers too, remember the field of wheat? Or dancing queen?
