Rats deserting a sinking ship at the moment according to news reports in the last hour or so.

@Picklebobble2 Look at the Republicans in America. Its easy to choose a side. But seriously with the likelyhood of "interesting times" in so many places, do you think the really smart people would want to be in politics right now?? Personally I would be keeping a low profile...😷

@Picklebobble2 You said it yourself. "If they were faithful to the cause". The cause is now money..😷

@Picklebobble2 Most ex PMs here hope for a diplomatic post. A couple of our conservative Ex PMs cant even get a gig as party clowns..But funny enough they figured god would look after them..😷
