It seems rather pointless.

Why is that confusing?
Was it on here or am I thinking of something else, but somebody was having a conversation with one of these types progeny, and they tried to explain what its like worrying about paying rent etc... They replied, 'Well why don't you just sell one of your paintings if you can't make the rent?'.djchump wrote:Nah, what we've got at the moment is a whole crop of Eton-born-and-bred-for-power types - effectively a set of aristocratic rulers in all but name. Eton/Westminster/Old Money Boarding School Oxbridge Bullingdon Club blah blah. It's not that politics/power corrupts 100%, it's more that the corrupt seek power, and that a class of wealth-owners can afford to send their progeny to elite schools to be educated into the Old Boys Network of power. These people have never struggled to make rent, or been affected by many of the things they are directly in control of, and lack the imagination or inclination to empathise with the people they claim to represent. They don't do the big shop, they don't know the price of milk, yet they're in charge. Defender of the common man is clearly not the intent for many Tories. Defender of the entrenched power structures, Defender of the Corporation, sure, but "commoners"/plebs are way down their list for defending. NHS itself is way high on their list for destruction, which says it all really.I'm sure the majority of the current crop of politicians (across the world) thought they'd be virtuous and good and defenders of the common man and all that. Thousands of years of human history tells us we're just not cut out to lead one another without bad things happening. IMO etc.I really don't think that's true, Jim.People with power will always (always) end up seeking the best for them and their chums and stuff everyone else. Absolute power, and all that. None of us would be any different if we were in the same position, even if we'd like to think we would be.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, the chair of the ERG who led the push for a confidence vote, says he accepts the result, but that Theresa May should resign.
