copycat campaigning

I've seen those pictures of Liz trussed up in combat gear at the helm of a tank and standing in front of rows of fighter planes. Photo opportunities to combat the agendas being put forward by the military backgrounded leadership contenders. 

That's a problem in itself. Opponent in the race Tugendhat knows the military so speaks vigorously about the need to fund it properly. I can hear the hawing sounds emerging from the Club of proper conservatives on this point.

But advisors are using photo images as a quick counter to arguments. Look at her, she's been in a tank and knows how to wear a G-suit. I bet that whip aerial has a Union Jack attached etc.

And Mordaunt also has form to bring in her military background- she's named after a ship for example. Now we can see some copycat agendas around certain topics as well as the 'Cut Tax' and 'Remove the NI Increase' sorcery. 

They skirt around the cost of living crisis and the thrall that Europe and America have to the Asian bloc. Remember BRIC and BRICS? It's coming for you right now. No-one is allowed to blame Brexit, because that is one of the hallowed successes of the still current Prime Minister.

Maybe it is déclassé to talk about the middling class now, but with the food banks, power and fuel hikes and lack of access to property purchase, then the millennials had better hope that millennial socialism works better than whatever they are advertising on TikTok.

There's a paucity of good new ideas in the current campaigning. Everyone is stuck running around for the same few ideas , cosplaying for the media and squandering advantage in a continuation of the clown's circus.

The clown broke the circus and now it becomes clear that no-one (of any political persuasion) is leading a fix.
