If there’s an imminent leadership election, candidates will compete with each other as to who can be most sceptical about restrictions, even though the public takes a different view. Almost regardless of the circumstances & scientific advice, a new PM will have their hands tied. — PolitiTweet.org

@Sime0nStylites The choice is between a PM who doesn’t have the moral authority to impose restrictions but does it anyway or a new leader who’ll have made lots of unwise commitments. You’re right though. When it comes to it, they’ll belatedly do what’s necessary. Provoking cries of betrayal etc. — PolitiTweet.org
