Kemi Wins

 
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/kemi-for-pm.html.
Kemi Badenoch has now won the Conservative leadership contest and will henceforth be Leader of the Opposition. I feel very different about that now than I did when I wrote that background article above for several reasons. Firstly, it's about three years too late. Secondly, Badenoch herself has weakened considerably from her previously very positive stances. If I were generous I'd say this was from the onslaught of establishment pressure; but she may also be motivated by personal gain. Her feud with Nigel Farage during the last general election made me question her sincerity. The Kemi I wrote about previously would have quit the Tories altogether and joined one of the populist parties. Did she stick with the Tories because she thinks it's the best way of achieving her political goals, or was it just the quickest path to personal power? Nigel hasn't hesitated to reignite the blaze, see: https://www.gbnews.com/politics/nigel-farage-blistering-swipe-tory-party-kemi-badenoch-elected-brand-broken. If it's the latter she will soon expose herself; either that or she'll blunder into another manufactured scandal like Boris' "Partygate", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/boris-is-finished.html. If she is more truthful and less naive she will see these pitfalls coming before stepping on them. She will have the courage and self-discipline that Boris Johnson lacked. To be honest, I have not been following this leadership race. It is not very interesting because it is totally inconsequential. The Tories are still lying in the ditch following their election pasting. We have Two-Tier Keir Star-lin to cope with for almost five years. There are so few Conservative MP's left that they don't have a hope in hell of influencing anything in the Commons. The next general election is so far away and so much evil can now be wrought with the establishment so firmly in control, that who leads the Opposition now is as irrelevant to Britain and her people as to who leads a minor party on Fiji. The only plus to Kemi's victory is the entertainment value. In her acceptance speech she thanked everybody with the most vainglorious smirk. Rishi Sunak was notable by his absence and her main rival Robert Jenrick wore a forced smile that was clearly agonizing, see: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0qdnewgx19o. Now I'm going to search desperately for a photo or video of Diane Abbott because I'm longing to see the look on her face.
