The thing is, Rishi isn’t our worst prime minister.
The two preceding him most certainly were, but one of them remains popular.
Rishi’s real problem should be obvious to anyone who has been tuned into the gutter press for the past thirty years.
He is not one of us.
And, no, I don’t mean his stupendous wealth. For all our leaders have been of that mould.
As some have noted, this practising Hindu is an Islam.
For those too slow to grasp this, Islams does not mean follower of the Muslim faith.
It is shorthand for persons of Rishi Sunak’s appearance.
Add a turban to his head, and the Reformists would all guffaw, “Taliban!”
Listen to the chattering classes fomenting rebellion, and it’s clear this is what this election is all about for them.
It’s not about the cost of living, a failing health and care system, or better opportunities for their children.
This election is all about the misinformation they have willfully been spreading back and forth on social media for years now.
For the Niges, Tommies and their minions, this election is all about fighting back against a Muslamic invasion which exists only in their own heads.
“This is a Christian country!” they belatedly decide, fifty years after their parents last went to church.
This election is all about influence. More about shaping the direction of the opposition and government after next.
If they’re lucky, they will get the dystopian future they desire, aping the timetable of the twentieth-century to the second.
Rishi must go, not because he is the worst prime minister ever.
Nor because he is boring, monotone, or robotic.
Not even because he is unelected, or a multi-multi-millionaire.
Rishi must go because the clowns want their country back.
Because they don’t like what it looks like on their own social media feeds, stuck inside their own echo chamber and filter bubble.
God help them if they ever need hospital treatment.
