Theresa May has looked more statesmanlike precisely because she is able to talk about something other than Brexit. A lot of European countries realised that what happened in Salisbury could have occured in Strasbourg, Stuttgart or Stockholm or numerous other places whose name does not start with an "S". The UK's problem with Russia is everyone's problem with Russia. The EU have also had the chance to say "look, this is the benefit is being part of the club." Jeremy Corbyn's response was weak. If he was not going to be supportive of the government, then he should have been forcefully suggesting some other course of action. But he never seems forceful. "Not sure you are doing the right thing here." "So what would you do?" "Not sure but not this." He just never does enough to really convince anyone that he really wants to be prime minister and he is already in his dream job.. He likes to tell Theresa May that "people are suffering" but some people think it would be better if they could do something about it. I agree with Jeremy Corbyn on a lot of things but he constantly comes across as weak, weak, weak - even compared to Theresa May! This issue of anti-semitism is ridiculous. People in the Labour Party who are anti-Jewish should be expelled from the party as Hitler-loving fascist pigs. Racism is racism is racism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I think it would be quite nice to have a pm who wasn't forceful, and who wasn't aggressive. I'd also like a pm who wasn't always sure of the best course of action. I think too many people in Britain (and the western world) have been convinced that this is what leadership is all about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 The sad thing is that many folk see “strength” and “decisiveness” as being the key qualities of political leadership regardless as to how bad the quality of the decision making is. To take that a step further back, it may be because only a tiny proportion of folk take any more than a cursory interest in politics. Sadly that will not change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If Jeremy Corbyn really wants to be prime minister then he needs to act the part. "Regarding Russia, what would you do?" "Well I wouldn't do what they have done." "Never mind what anyone else might do - what would you do?" He doesn't need to be a strong leader. He doesn't need to make that decision on his own. He can discuss it with his colleagues or anyone else for that matter. Then when a consensus is reached - he can be the spokesman and say "This is what we suggest." Maybe this is what he is already doing but it doesn't come across like that. More like he has turned up without his notes and saying "This Russia business - it really is a puzzle - isn't it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could any one human being possibly know the right course of action for every single eventuality an entity as complex and massive as a fucking country has to undertake on a daily basis? Proper mature sensible intelligent leadership is consultation and delegation.

In an ideal world you would have someone who is competent but also had the qualities you describe (Basically not being a massive p***k). You’re really uptight following the end of your pro football career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
