HERE WE GO AGAIN! GENERAL ELECTION on 4th JULY 2024
ZDENKO KOS MSc MEc BScEcon Hons MBA • 22 May 2024

RISHI SUNAK'S SNAP GENERAL ELECTION WAS THE ONLY WAY OUT AND REPLY TO FIGHT AGAINST NOT GETTING "NO CONFIDENCE" VOTE by TORY MEMBERS.

Make no mistake, the polls continue to show the Conservatives are way behind Labour. But if Rishi had thought to call this snap election eight weeks earlier, the United Kingdom would be at least £33 million better off, as we already had the May local elections planned. . . but Andy Street lost his position as Mayor for the West Midlands, so I am happy. 


You may recall Rishi Sunak was anointed Prime Minister by Conservative MPs, as their only candidate. Not one constituent anywhere in the UK had a vote . . . and during his year and a half in office, Rishi Sunak has had massive failures:


  • He did not just split his own party – the Conservatives - but he split the nation completely.
  • He made his family and friends wealthier at ordinary families’ expense.
  • He is a “smooth” talker trying to “sell” that he has a plan and that his plan is working, but

none of his plans have worked.


Yes, his personal plan to get richer worked perfectly for him and his friends; on the other hand, his public pledges did not work at all.



He is a man without a plan, he is a man without any sense of reality, integrity or accountability. To sum it up in one sentence - Rishi is a man who is delusional, as are 99% of Conservative party members.


There is no surprise that over 100 serving Conservative MP’s will not stand at the next election on 4th July. Why is that? Is it because they are so “confident” of Rishi plans, or because they realise that they cannot defend the indefensible as previously, when they were whipped to defend Boris Johnson and promulgated that there were no parties at No 10 during the covid.


Even his own wife has told Rishi that she and the kids are packing up; she booked both girls into new schools in California more than two months back, demonstrating to Rishi they are out of the UK.


All that is left to Rishi now is a few MP’s who are still hanging on to their privileges and the trappings of power, like the Home Secretary, Chancellor, Defence Secretary, and several others.


Has Rishi made a similar mistake as Teresa May, when she called a snap election and wiped out her parliamentary majority? I suspect there are quite a few grass roots Conservatives who would rather vote Reform than for their own party. Setting the election date to thwart the Rwanda flights was just Rishi admitting that plan was never going to work.


So - how did his election campaign launch? The Prime Minister got completely wet, wet, wet as rain was pouring down and not a single person from his cabinet or office thought to hold an umbrella for him during his speech.


Rishi was “going down under” even during his campaign in Belfast where he visited the Titanic Quarter, which generated unwelcomed “sinking ship” comparisons with his party’s fortunes, not to mention a brewery trip in Wales where Rishi made a footballing gaffe about the Euros.


Looking back, Rishi’s original appointment as Chancellor was ridiculous; Boris Johnson (former PM) just wanted to exercise “his” power when Sajid Javid (former Chancellor) did not agree with Bojo.

Rishi has made the same mistake with his appointment of a troop of “clowns” (not fit for the jobs) from day one of his tenure until recently, as described in a few previous blogs:

https://www.mercator.direct/appoint-a-clown-expect-a-circus-part-v


And in Conservative governments, there are also snakes:

https://www.mercator.direct/snakes-in-the-city


And many others duplicitous colleagues - I can easily name 44 Conservative MP’s.


In the last 14 years we have had nothing from the Conservative party, apart from: their family members profiteering, scandal after scandal (sex & drugs scandals, or parties at No 10, …), splashing public money for nothing with no attempt to recover the damage (PIP, Boo’s airplane repainting, giving tender for shipping over the channel to the company who has not a single ship), broken pledges and promises about rebuilding the UK (e.g. HS2, or building 40 new hospitals, or levelling up, stop the boats), ...

Everything is on its knees, from the economy to the NHS, to transport, even the water is shitty.


How many scandals like the Hillsborough inquiry, Windrush inquiry, contaminated blood

inquiry, Grenfell Tower inquiry, covid inquiry, post office submasters inquiry, … are going on?


Inquiry after inquiry, deception after deception, intimidation after intimidation, fraud after

fraud, … and at the end of the day nobody, not a single person’ has been held accountable for whatever wrongdoing.

If one ordinary person did something like that (on a minor scale, not on the scale the Conservatives have done), they would be taken to the court, prosecuted and imprisoned (oops, can’t be imprisoned this week, because there are no places in UK prisons – the Conservatives are giving 70 days off to all prisoners to vacate prisons! Yet another Conservative blunder, who were not able to build prisons either.


Since the Conservatives came to power, we have had nearly 682,598 legal immigrants. The last Labour government figure was just around 100,000.

Make no mistake all former and current Conservative Prime Ministers (David Cameron, Teresa May, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak) categorically and clearly stated that immigration will fall from Labours’ 100,000 to maximum 10,000.

Well, as I said the number currently stands at 682,598.


The same is with illegal immigration. The Conservatives currently have 152,605 illegal immigrants on “waiting lists” to be processed – they were not able to do this in 14 years.

Their excuse is still Covid and the war in Ukraine. How pathetic!

Just this year, despite the bad weather, over 10,000 illegal immigrants have come over in small boats, which our PM

Rishi Sunak categorically stated he pledged to stop boats crossing.


It’s time . . .. it’s time for all Conservatives to pack their coffers (oh I forgot, they have already

filled them) and go back home with their delusional thinking.

It’s time for Labour to get back in power and to get things sorted one by one! It will be a long process, and I look forward to seeing Rachel Reeves as Chancellor of Exchequer - she will be the first female Chancellor in UK history. 


It’s time for the Prime Minister - who tells us he has “the plan” and repeats this mantra along with all other Tory MPs 10-20 times in every speech, but no-one planned for the umbrella - it’s time for you, Rishi, to pack your bags and we’ll see you in California.

You can start there from scratch (well almost, apart from your penthouse and green card) – and live the “American dream”.
