How anybody can look at the past few years of the Tories and go "there is a group of people clearly capable of planing executing a genius level long term strategy with finesse and subterfuge", is beyond me.

…because the Tories are the ones being manipulated. A PM earns less than 200k£, a Minister even less and an MP even less - they’re incredibly cheap to ‘buy’.

As long as extreme wealth inequality exists, politicians will keep being bought and sold by the minority for their own interest at the expense of the majority.
