Who is best prime minister for farming

[startinghandle]

After watching the debate last night i think it is not only God help the farming industry if Boris gets in but God help the whole country

 

[Clive]

I like Gove but don’t think he’s right for pm

Of the options we have I think Boris is the man to get brexit done and then he should stand down and let Hunt actually run the country

 

[JCMaloney]

Gove or Stewart out of all of them, as they are probably the only ones with an understanding of the industry from jobs they have done or constituency work.

You wouldn`t want Hunt "Whoops we cut too much" anywhere near it......

 

[Bill the Bass]

Rory Stewart understands farming very well, he has a lot of farming friends in his constituency who's views he respects and listens to. Even Gove in his current position will not have spoken to and taken the effort understand farmers and farming as well.

Stewart wont get the job though as he is a pragmatist and the Tory's (and the Labour party for that matter) want ideologists because the electorate has evolved by wit of social media to like simple politics and binary choices.

I’m not sure I think boris is the best front man as other leaders seem to like him, but I would be more interested in the team he builds around him.

 

[chaffcutter]

Stewart is still going to try to push through the same plan as Teresa, after 3 tries already that's a total waste of time !

I thought none of then came out of a (in my view) poorly moderated debate anyway. I think it ought to be Boris and Gove as the end two but Hunt was not too bad last night.

Rory Stewart

Rory Stewart

watching him last night I think hes in the wrong party !

 

[Clive]

Rory Stewart

came across as an utter twit to me, seemed to have very socialist views

True - M. Thatcher admitted she was a better PM because she had William Whitelaw at
her right-hand.

 

[DrWazzock]

Rory Stewart was at least pragmatic and reasonably honest. The rest are in denial of the parliamentary arithmetic that finished off Theresa May and are trying the same old busted flush of threatening no deal that won't work and risks our livelihoods.

Rory Stewart's first name is Roderick. Now realise why he doesn't use it.

Rod Stewart for PM.

You know politics is in a poor state when the overwhelming favourite for Prime Minister is Boris Johnson, with the only real alternative being a Corbyn led socialist/communist dystopia.

The pool of talent has never been more empty than it is now. The big beasts are long gone, it seems.

Definitely a vacuum. The waffle won't cut it anymore. We either go down the right wing nationalist route or back pedal to full eu membership one nation Tory ideology, as per Edward Heath. The smoothest route will the Edward Heath/ Rory Stewart route but just can't see it happening. Dogma and prejudice, pride and emotion is now too firmly I control and that is exceptionally dangerous.

 

[Lowland1]

Andrea Leadsom gave a talk to my sons politics class at school when she was environment secretary. He asked a few farming questions to which she had no real answers. So she's probably the best choice.

 

[DeeGee]

Stewart seems the only one with any empathy for the electorate, the others are only interested in themselves and their upper class cronies.

Any decent opposition party would have swept this joke of a government down into the drains of history many months ago. But to the detriment of democracy and the well being of this country we have no credible government and no credible opposition to oust it.

Yes, waffle and soundbites, such a successful winning formula in the Blair era and now the norm.

I can't see anyone with the skill, determination and sheer bloody mindedness required to deliver the seemingly undeliverable.

You do dread to think where it will end.
