Good one Lew! We didn’t have a vote here but if we had, it wouldn’t have been for him. All a bit of a mess I’m thinking. When all else is a muddle, there’s always art to enjoy. 🤔

Thank goodness we can enjoy your art, Lew, rather than worry about the state of the political system!

I'm with David's comment and this brought a smile to my face this morning

Shudder! That’s all.

Excellent work Lew, less said about him the better I think.

Doesn't look like a chap who has been given 5 million quid!

I know what you mean Lew! Thanks for making me smile.

Great topical picture, nicely done.

Whomever and whichever party when in opposition know all the answers. Then in power they provide none of the solutions! I have lost faith in all of them. Nicely put out there Lewis.

Excellent Lewis.

This made me smile Lewis unlike all politicians!

Very well done Lewis. I especially like the question mark rosette- think we’re all wondering how things will turn out if they succeed more in the future.

Briliant !!!

Like him or loathe him, probably a future PM if we’re to believe the polls…couldn’t be any worse! Great sketch I have to say…

Thanks for making me giggle Lewis. The world is in dire need of politicians who are altruistic, not putting their own interests before the country but I’m being far too reductive. It’s a worrying world we live in.

Well they ALL have the answers Lewis, but they ALL deliver the same old spam. The job is to serve but it turns out to serve the self.

Terrific Illustration Lewis

I despair ! But this is funny 🫣😂

Posted by Carole Swingler on Sat 09 May 18:49:14

Excellent, Lew.

Love your art work but as for elections …….

Posted by Spencer Lambeth-Angell on Sun 10 May 18:19:26

Great job😀

Yes, a politician that doesn't change his spots – politics based upon xenophobia – even if his changes political parties (and with m£5 in his back pocket). Excellent portrait.

Posted by Trevor Bendell on Mon 11 May 10:35:35

...an added thought: Lewis, you should send this picture to the Guardian newspaper (cartoons section).

Posted by Trevor Bendell on Mon 11 May 10:40:25

Love it, Lewis!

When you're not in power, talk is cheap. Now we'll see what this lot can do. Not much I suspect. The next GENERAL Election must be held no later than 15th August, 2029. Interesting, and worrying, times we live in. Only one thing is certain, the rich will get richer and the poor poorer. Let's hope this lot are as good as they think they are.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
