It makes you wonder why they all even bother with the pretense at all. Surely no one actually falls for it.

 

Here's an idea. How about a wealth/income eligibility bar on all prospective Prime Ministers? Say £10 grand above the national average, or maybe £50k if we're feeling really generous. In conjunction with a CV that includes some real jobs that require actual real work. That ought to clear out all the rich Oxbridge PPE degree weilding parasites. Just a thought.

 

 

 

So you're saying a prime minister can't have earned more than 50k? So not only will we get rid of the elitist parasites we will also get rid of anyone competent of doing the job!

Everyone below 50k is incompetent? 

 

Wow, no wonder the country is in the shitter.

sadly "competency" doesn't seem to be a prerequisite

... and anyones employment status is an irrelevance to be honest. I did answer. Tonight, I will be self employed, refer to my earlier answer as to my role.

No you didn’t answer everyone can see you didn’t answer, BS games unfortunately is your level. I seem to recall a reference to office life a while back but then again anything you say has to be taken with a liberal pinch of salt. Your theory about upbringing etc holds no water as my early years were in a mining village in the north east of England 🤷‍♂️not exactly a conservative or right wing heartland.

Very very unlikely to be the same job or career path?

I meant £50 grand above the national average salary, but no matter.

You never, ever stop. It's a discussion board, Dwayne. You need a whole facking soliloquy?

Think we might need to be paying more - the real top guys in industry would laugh at the Prime Ministers salary. Consider the country as a company, multi-billion pound, the CEO would expect a salary twenty times what we pay... however this is for a professional CEO who is likely to have spent many years working up the professional ladder to get there. All a Prime Minister needs is floppy hair and a personality, but no proven competence.
