I mean, at least he's being open about it.
All politicians are cunts. The lot of them. Anybody who honestly believes that there's an MP out there that doesn't put their own self-interests before the self-interests of their constituents is having a fucking laugh.
Does that make it okay? Of course not. But these hard-left Milennial Instactivists like Marina Purkiss who, let's be honest, comes across as a bit of a fucking bellend seem to be under (or at least, try to sell) the impression that things would be vastly different/better under a different leadership. I don't think that would be the case, and we'll find out soon enough.
At the end of the day. These 'commentators' don't find success by shouting in support of whoever's currently driving the bus.
I suppose you could make the argument that some action is better than inaction. But what kind of action needs to be taken to change the mindset of a nation that voted for fucking Brexit in the first place?

I'mso thoroughly bored with this argument
'these guys are obviously cunts, but do you honestly think anyone else would be better?' is the reason these fuckers get away with it.
Get rid of these venal arseholes and let's fucking find out.

We've been replacing venal arsehole with venal arseholes for decades.

No, it won't.

I for one, would prefer a government
that wasn't trying to actively kill the poor and deport anyone brown, so definitely not this lot

It kind of spoils the message when you slip into hyperbole
You can't prove either of those things and never put down to malice what can be more easily explained with incompetence.
As someone else said, both parties are just sides of the same arse. I've been voting for 40 years or more and the calibre of politicians just keeps falling each time I vote. Johnson and Corbyn were the low points for me. Neither had a fucking clue about leadership, policy or diplomacy and I wouldn't have put either in charge of a stationary cupboard. Why people voted for them I will never understand.
How many politicians have spent their careers entirely in politics? Or in law, so that they develop an air of looking down on everyone else. Most have no real empathy for the average person, why would they? They never mingle with them.
Nothing will change until we change MPs and how they are motivated. I would personally like to see their salary tied to delivering election commitments, and paid well for doing so. I would also like to see recalls for any misdemeanor, and no moving into lobbying at the end of a career.
Pay them really well, but attach the kind of strict rules that mean to get booted out for breaking any rule.

I genuinely think my MP puts her constituents first
Vicky Foxcroft is an absolute gem and we're very lucky to have her. Before her we had Joan Ruddock - another amazing constituency MP. We've been very lucky, but I think finding decent human beings in Westminster isn't that hard, it's just they don't tend to achieve as much party-political success.

I thought I had it in the bag with Philip Davies but I think you've pipped me at the post! That said, he does have a particularly dubious policy voting track record.

Who's not that bad, to be honest.
There's much worse.
We are lucky to not have a complete cunt, because we are in a safe seat.
I am of the view that the one thing that keeps an MP acting decently is fear of losing their seat. Swapping your MP for a different one regularly is, in my view, politically healthy.
The problem with Johnson, is that he has this unwavering attitude of privilege and entitlement that means he'll never do the right thing because he has no fear of any negative effects from doing the wrong thing.

we had Frank Dobson when I was living camden for years
made some decent improvement to the NHS before that cunt Milburn reversed them. All in all a positive MP though not without flaws. It's Starmer patch now. Wierd constituency too, what was quite a poor area in kentish town, combined with the jude law millionaire set of primrose hill and soy lattes of highgate, with the anonymous city flats of holborn anda a few council estates thrown in for good measure. Falls heavily labour.

You've been radicalised. You need to go through deprogramming before you can make sense of the world.

Believing you are a centrist is a symptom of your radicalisation.
Which political spectrum do you think you're at the centre of? I'd put you in the centre between hard right and far right, and I think you're a bit of a radical authoritarian too (wrt your deranged posts about activists).
Pro-tip: Centrists don't defend Boris Johnson by claiming all politicians are just as bad. That is a talking point direct from Bozo's spin doctors.
