“Tricky Dicky”…
Ironically, in other ways Nixon was one of the few post-1945 American Presidents, perhaps the only one, to have a real strategic sense.
Do not waste your time trying to work out what deep motives Sunak may have. He has none. He is just an Indian money-juggler, and would be as much at home in Bombay, Dubai, or New York as he is in the UK. He is also clueless, totally incompetent.
In the UK at present, one of the favourite masking manoeuvres of the System, the “public inquiry”, is rolling on. This public inquiry is not examining the real scandal, i.e. the complete pointlessness of “lockdowns”, facemasks, “social distancing” etc, and the consequences (NHS almost shutting down, economy trashed, huge sums of money wasted etc) but trivial questions about the interaction of the Civil Service with the bunch of clowns currently pretending to run this country. Not forgetting the even more trivial question of whether the staff of “Boris”-idiot had a few drinks and sandwiches in the garden of No. 10 Downing Street.
“NEW. Which comes closest to your view?
All Brits: “Immigration makes UK nicer place to live” -10% “Immigration makes no difference” -21% “Immigration makes UK worse place to live” -42% “Don’t know” -27%;
Conservative voters “nicer” 3% “no difference” 13% “worse place to live” 68%;
Labour voters “nicer” 22% “no difference” 33% “worse place to live” 19%.“
Showing that Labour voters are, just over half of them, apparently suffering from a mental problem.
Those figures for “Labour voters“, though, probably include a very large proportion of non-whites, so my remark only applies to the really English/British ones.
From the newspapers
“Seven years ago, an NGO, a team of craniofacial surgeons and a community of host families in Shreveport, Louisiana, moved mountains to bring Farid and Qoosay Salout from Gaza to the US for medical treatment.
The surgeries were a resounding success.
But on 8 November 2023, 12-year-old Farid and Qoosay, 14, were killed in an Israeli airstrike.”
[The Guardian]
Sad story.
The Israeli Jews, and those overseas who support their behaviour, are piling up a massive weight of karmic debt.

People want less immigration. Full stop. There should be a further question, asking how many people want a mainly or entirely white European country (like we had until the 1970s).
Neither of the main System parties will deliver what the people want. They are just differently-packaged scams these days.
An absolutely horrible travesty. He has every chance of becoming an MP next year. Jesus H Christ, this country is sick!

Typical…
Well, before too long Biden will be history (though scarcely historic) and, if Trump replaces him, the Kiev regime will not keep getting arms, ammunition, and money from the USA. Not in the same quantities as now, at least.
After that, a Russian offensive will start, and will probably make an approach towards Kiev.

Yes, Fishi Rishi, we really do need your call to elevate the role of maths in schools to be put into effect urgently and that process should start in expensive, fee paying public schools that leading Tories attend such as Eton College, Charterhouse and, last but by no means least, Winchester College.
How about we make GCSE Economics compulsory in state and private schools as well?
Economics is a dry subject but quite an interesting one which I studied myself at school. Making it compulsory may make future voters more wise in their political choices.

The RNLI should either be banned outright or subjected to heavy prosecution in the courts. They are clearly aiding and abetting illegal migration to this country and should be punished for it. We have legislation on the books and have had for a longtime dealing with those who help to facilitate illegal immigration so why is this not being used to go after them?

The maps on the Leftie Stats Twitter/X account detailing how the opinion polls would play out in actual results show people how utterly ridiculous our archaic electoral system of FPTP is:
Just a few points shaved off the Labour lead leads to a vastly different outcome.
Having ‘tipping points’ in an electoral system is the height of daftness! No wonder our politics is so dysfunctional and unfit for purpose!

My own ultra-safe Tory seat of Brentwood and Ongar won’t fall unless there is a Canadian-style wipeout as in 1993 in that country.

The Con Party was anti-proportional representation and still is; a very shortsighted view even from their own perspective. Labour, now on course for a large and possibly stupendous HoC majority next year, has no incentive to go for PR.

The Tory Party is fanatically anti-democratic as is the Labour Party hence their contempt for real democracy and Proportional Representation.
The misnamed Conservatives are also stupid as PR may now be their only way to avoid a complete collapse eventually as their Canadian cousins had in the general election there in 1993 held under the archaic fraud of FPTP.
If the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly had not been set-up or they had used only stand alone FPTP systems the Conservative Party would likely not have any real presence in those two parts of the UK today after suffering their general election wipe-out in 1997.
If the Tories were wise they would get AHEAD of the opposition, for once, and introduce it themselves as then they could choose a PR system likely to prove better for them like the Mixed-Member PR used in Germany and New Zealand or Danish-style Open Party List PR with levelling seats rather than the weird STV system used in the Republic of Ireland with its ranked ballots.

Your comment leads me to wonder whether Proportional Representation might be the “magic bullet” Sunak needs in 2024. Were he to promise it firmly as part of the Con Party manifesto, it could be a game-changer. Better not suggest it to the Indian money-juggler!

John Major should have introduced it in 1996 as a calamitous general election result was in plain view then for the election due in 1997.
If he had done the party wouldn’t have been smashed and had as few as 166 seats and taken 13 years to partially recover.
If they go down to as few as 135 seats or even fewer next year then they will be an effective ‘zombie party’ ie not totally dead but showing no real signs of life either.

Hello Ian: Those statistics you quoted which show that only 42% of the Brits interviewed were totally against immigration, means that 10% are traitors (in favour) and 48% absolute morons (21% “immigration makes no difference” and 27% “do not know”)
How glad I do not live there! I would have been arrested by the Police “for foul language and violent behaviour” as I would not take rubbish from anyone. That is a Latin hothead for you! (LOL)
PS: I cannot believe Sunak reached the end of the year. Mind you, there are still four weeks to go… Perhaps a “madman” will try to emulate John Bellingham…

*Not* being a “Latin hothead” has not saved me… True, I was not actually arrested (my summons to Court came through the post, like a summons for a minor motoring offence) but I have now been tried and convicted (came close to getting off at half-time on the basis of “no case to answer” but did not quite make it over that line). Free speech is as good as dead in the UK.
ps. I agree with you re. that poll.

Some of those who say they don’t know may well be against the ultra-extremist levels of mass immigration this wretched government is imposing upon this blighted land at the moment but won’t say that to an anonymous pollster due to the PC globalist social climate Britain has.
They won’t reveal their true opinions in the same way as French Rassemblement National (RN) and German Alternative Fur Deutschland (Afd) party supporters keep their voting intentions secret as well.

I just read about John Bellingham and I cannot help to feel sympathy for him. Perhaps is true that he did not have a case but he should have received some compensation.
His last words show he was a brave and honourable man who sincerely believed he was wronged and acted upon it.

If Brighton elects Eddie Izzard shall we campaign for Brightonian independence?
Apparently, some pro-EU Londoners want independence from the UK. London, according to some recent polls, will elect very few or no Tory MPs next year with even the seats of the Cities of London and Westminster ie the central seat containing most of the tourist sights and areas like Mayfair and Belgravia and the constituency of Chelsea and Fulham predicted to fall to Labour.
Shall we grant these pro-EU Londoners their wish?

I think the Green Party has a good chance of retaining their sole seat in Brighton Pavilion. Even though their current MP is standing down and she did appear to have a large personal vote the Greens are well embedded in the seat.
Some people may well vote Green there instead of voting for Izzard because the Greens are strongly in favour of equality in the voting system ie Proportional Representation.

Obviously, I am not a Green Party supporter (though I do fully back them on the question of introducing PR for the House of Commons and local councils) but Caroline Lucas did come across as a more personable and hardworking MP than many do. I think she built-up a large personal vote for those reasons and she was assiduous in dealing with her constituents’ casework.
Green, Lib Dem, SNP and Plaid Cymru MPs have to work harder for their constituents than Tory and Labour MPs do because their seats are normally less safe.
