“Gove wanted to be a maximalist on leaseholder reform, but we simply haven’t got time to be maximalist right now.” [before the next election]
I’m always surprised how venal politics in the UK are. They don’t even pretend they’re doing this to make lives better for their citizens. It’s just about power.

To be generous to the unnamed Conservative (which is not my default position) they may be referring to a shortage of Parliamentary time before the election. There’s lots of Brexity stuff still clogging things up, and there may not be capacity for a maximalist bill before the next election is due. As everyone expects the Tories to lose (and so lose the power to pass anything) after the election, that would make working on a large bill a bit pointless.

As if mindlessly copying policies from the American far-right didn’t actually work!
He actually admitted to it being a ploy to disenfranchise opposition voters, too!

It’s bad, I know, no matter who it affects, but the notion of puce-faced, blustering Tory gammons being turned away from the ballot box does amuse me.
I shall endeavour to be a better person
