 The political turmoil continues. So, as an ordinary Conservative voter, here’s  what I think. Which PM candidate is most popular with ordinary voters nationally?  Answer: Boris Johnson. But, what about the Partygate affair? Answer: it was largely orchestrated by a far too intrusive media, exacerbating what was essentially a meeting of those whom the PM was working with all day anyway (as was happening in companies globally). The UK should follow what happens in other countries, keeping the private mechanisms of government away from the media. So, my preferred Cabinet?  A mix of public popularity, strong political ability, high educational background, natural warmth/personality, and hands-on stability: Boris Johnson, Ben Wallace, Jeremy Hunt, Rishi Sunak, Penny Maudant. Do we need a general election?  No. The ones calling for one are the opposition Labour party and the SNP, for self-serving rather than national interests. How to help the suffering, lowest members of society? The King should consider selling off some of his many unused properties to help the nation, by forming a new King’s Fund to help the homeless, the long-term disabled, and first-time buyers.
