It seems to me that this perfectly describes Boris Johnson. Seemingly some bite to his pledges, with a fluffy persona, all going down with a delightfully sweet & creamy taste that makes you want more.
Waffle, as in language without meaning; blathering, babbling, droning, also perfectly describes his promises & answers to any probing questions about his proposals.
We have created political monsters. People with little or no moral compass. People who will say anything to get what they want, which is power & influence. People who will change direction without compunction as the perceived mood of the people, (focus groups), dictates. People who are not what they seem - shapeshifters.
Is that really what we want in our politicians, never mind in our Prime Minister? Well, seemingly yes for the Conservative party, who have lost all sense of what is best for the country.
Parliament, the Cabinet & individual politicians created this constitutional mess.
We the people, did not vote for Brexit.
71.8% of the UK population who were registered voted. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%. Ireland & Scotland voted to remain. The diagram says it all.
We are now in a seemingly never ending cycle, which no one in government seems capable of sorting out.
If we are a democratic nation we need to give everyone the opportunity to say what they think now. I don't much care whether it's through a referendum or a general election, except for the fact that we will have now had two unelected Prime Ministers. This is actually not unusual.
Personally I do think that a Prime Ministers resignation or death should lead automatically to a General Election.
My only conclusion in the current situation is that we are not a democratic country any more.
