The Conservative Succession - End of the May Era - Why NO BREXIT?

Sky News: Reports " Tory leadership race: Second withdrawal as election rules change..The move is intended to reduce the crowded field to replace Theresa May, amid fears the party must avoid weeks of "navel gazing".  "

Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Party leadership rules have to be changed again, this race can not go on for weeks, the number of candidates could be shorten if each candidate needed 12 MPs supporting him or her before the 1st round and then the vote should be taken daily to get down to 2 candidats to go to the Party.  One can postulate that if BORIS gets the nod and a Remainer is chosen the Remain candidate will stand down and allow Boris to become PM and save the Party members having to vote for the outcome everyone knows.  Of course it depends on Boris getting the nod, the MPs are not that BRIGHT, they could give us another Major or May, the UK and the Conservative Party needs BORIS as PM. 

The FAILURE of Change UK - Why still NO BREXIT?

The other news sources are covering the Trump Visit in full.   On the whole POTUS has behaved himself, thank goodness. 

BBC News: Reports " Change UK splits as six of 11 MPs become independents "

Lets Get Real:

In the last few months we have seen the formation of two new political parties, the Brexit Party that wants to get out of the EU as fast as possible, while Change UK wants to remain in the EU.  In the European Parliamentary Elections the Brexit Party came top of the poll, while Change was in the bottom of the poll, the Change leadership claimed that since the the Party was new it did not have much of a chance, this was of course spin as seen by the great poll winning Brexit Party.  In truth with Change MPs you have MPs who started to believe their own press statements and a massive miss reading of the public.  When a new Conservative PM is announced the Labour Party will try for a vote of no confidence, will the departed Change MPs vote for it, they know if there is an early election that they are finished, thus logically they must vote NO, as well those still in the Change Party.   If Boris Johnson is elected then you can expect an early election, he will want a good majority and can tell the REMAIN MPs to go to hell.

The LEFT loath POTUS - Does that make him okay then - Trump Era

Guardian - Editorial: States the following on President Trump, " Mr Trump is a demagogue who represents a threat to peace, democracy and the climate of our planet.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the left wing Guardian has a low opinion of POTUS, thus does that make him okay then if you are in the middle and a Conservative, also a firm supporter of Brexit.   The answer is NO, this blog supported HRC in 2016, but did place a £2.50 bet that Trump would win.  Having two degrees one would think I would have a total negative view of Trump, in many respects this blog does, but it understands why the US voter made him the 45th President of the United States and why he just might win in 2020.   POTUS does not care what the uber liberal Washington Post, New York Times or the Guardian think about him, he has to take a pay cut to run for the US Presidency and a use Air Force One, he has two better planes that he owns, Trump is a billionaire or multi millionaire and thus has the ego of one.   This blog thinks that Trump has no plans to win 2016, it was fluke, the original plan it seems from rumours was to increase his brand name and start his own TV network, then the unexpected happened, he WON.  One does wish that Trump would have learned to be Presidential by now, no luck there then, or would want to be the leader of the free world, he seems to prefer tyrants to US allies, very odd.   Thus the UK gets the Trump show from Monday, what a TREAT for the UK voter!!

President Trump's State Visit to the UK - Trump Era

Mail on Sunday: Reports " All the Presidents’ Ma'am! How the Queen has charmed 13 occupants of the White House (and their wives) and helped to keep the 'special relationship' alive "

Lets Get Real:

One does wish President Trump was a NORMAL President, well normal for State Visits anyway.  Even before landing in the UK the President has made comments on the internal Conservative Party race for a new Leader and PM, also made his views on BREXIT clear.  One does wonder how Her Majesty does it, she has faced a few egomaniacs from the UK and the US over her Reign, Donald Trump must surly be at the peak of that LONG LIST.  It always makes this blog smile to think what a great Head of State we have, one does not know her views on anything, in this World of everyone telling everyone else what they think it's with pride one can say that the Queen through her long reign has always placed duty first, few leaders could learn from her, well let's be honest here, The Trump could learn a LOT from the Queen, but his ego would not allow that, thus we have a three days visit by the Leader of the Free World, let's hope that POTUS does not have is usal foot in mouth problem, that Diplomacy can be respected, the UK and the US could do with a drama free Visit. 

Alastair Campbell Expelled from the Labour Party - NO BREXIT WHY?

Daily Mail: Reports " 'To all the MPs who told me they were not voting Labour, your secrets are safe with me': 'Lifelong' Labour member Alastair Campbell hits back with veiled threat as he is expelled from party for voting Lib Dem at EU elections  "

Lets Get Real:

The REAL reason Alastair Campbell has been thrown out of the Labour Party is the fact that he was Blair's spin Doctor for the Iraq War, and the extreme LEFT of the Labour Party have been looking for ways to get rid of him since then.   This blog has voted Conservative all of its life, but when it came to the European Elections this blog supported the BREXIT PART, one can be sure AC will be working at the next election for the Labour Party to get elected, this move by Corbyn's Labour Party just causes more conflict for Labour ( if you are Tory that is a good thing ) When the general election comes, and it might come sooner than we think, the voters on the whole will return to their political party of choice.   The OUTCOME of the election will depend on the result of BREXIT.

Abortion in the US - Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " US state's only abortion clinic could close down by the end of the week..Dr Leana Wen, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, has said the potential closure is part of a "public health crisis".  "

Lets Get Real:

IF you are a REAL CONSERVATIVE you support abortion on demand, a true Conservative believes in LIMITED GOVERNMENT, the restrictions on abortion is an attempt by Government, either local or Federal to say what they think the boundaries are, while truth  is abortion should take place at any time, if the mother does not want the child, or can not afford to support it, think how how many one parent families there are, and those that can not afford to support themselves.   A true Conservative would support no restrictions and allow the issue to be between the Doctor and the woman.  On this issue men do not have any rights, they do not have to carry the baby for nine months, they do not have to bring it up if the father does a runner.   As a classic liberal, a real Conservative support the selling of drugs on demand, at a lower price than drug runners, thus ending the War on drugs.   It is odd but its liberals are the true Conservatives when it comes to this issue of abortion and drugs.

President Trump vs. Vice President Joe Biden - Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Biden team says Trump's taunts 'beneath dignity of the office' "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS is trying to define former VP Joe Biden well before the 2020 General Election, this is the same method used by President Clinton in 1996 against Senator Robert Dole, while Biden has not faced any debates yet, and has to get through the Democratic Primary before he becomes the Democratic Nominee.   Thus the Trump Campaign will throw anything they can at the former VP, he has not helped himself by getting the nickname of Creepy Joe when it comes to WOMEN, also he supported the 1994 Crime Bill, this Act has affected more African - Americans than any other other ethnic group.  Also since 1970s Biden has taking positions that are out of sync with the present Democratic Party, from opposing busing, supporting the Iraq War resolution.   The Democratic Opposition candidates will start to throw Biden's past policy views back at him when CNN does the debate series.  If any of the other Democratic candidates want to shine they have to show they have claws that can be effected against Biden and Trump.   As noted on CNN there are over 500 + plus days  to go before the election.   Thus recall at the start of 2008 and 2016 HRC was meant to take the Crown, she failed twice.
