Conservatives will choose between a halfwit with half an idea and a flatlining ideologue with no ideas. All mediocre things have to come to an end and the six weeks of Conservative leadership hustings finally limped to a close in London.
Finally. This is the end, beautiful friend. The end. Well, let’s hope so. For now at least.
In the absence of the government doing any actual governing, we’ve been forced to endure the tedium of a drawn out Tory leadership contest. A niche psychodrama for the 160,000 people allowed to vote. One with very little actual drama as we’ve all known who was going to win from the moment MPs reduced the candidates down to the final two.
Given a choice of a halfwit with half an idea and a flatlining ideologue with no actual ideas, the Conservative members were always going to vote for the most hopeless. There’s even less to Liz Truss than meets the eye.
