How in literally ANY context can someone want Boris to be PM?

20% of those people are brain dead.

People keep on referring to her "legacy" . Her legacy is so far destroying a decent majority and making a complete Horlix of Brexit, there are far more but these two are good headliners.
I just wish she would phone in for a sickie and go on gardening leave

Based on the proven principle that less politics is better politics, surely the next PM should be Jared O’Mara.

17% for Corbyn is pretty good, he must be stoked.

Puggit said:

Err... no... 49% say they don't want any of them, 51% picked one. So, most people would like one of them, even if they don't agree which.


I'm sure there are Brexit parallels to be drawn here, but mainly it shows SkyNews failed basic maths.

I think very few come out of this looking good all of course my own opinion which is as worthwhile / worthless as anyone else's
Mrs May - gambled away a viable small majority and this led to endless peculation about her position. This emboldened leadership candidates to be the subject of ongoing and boring speculation. Came up with a deal that didn't really appeal to anyone. It also gave far more importance to the DUP than IMO they deserve(d)
The DUP - behaved as senior partners at times and appeared greedy promoted way beyond their importance
Jeremy Corbyn - Seemed unable, unwilling to give much of a clear indication of his position. His tactic was to say whatever the tories came back with was crap but never really came up with something in its place
Jacob Rees Mogg - Initially presented as quirky eccentric incredibly polite and patient. Now he just seems another oily untrustworthy politician
John Bercow. has been smug discourteous superior and agin IMO is the very very worse face of modern politics. I believe he has done great harm to how politicians and parliament are viewed and has damaged respect

The reason May went for the election was because of the ERG. It didn't take a genius to work out that they would make trouble, as that's what they always do. Her advisors would have told her that the probable outcome would be a significantly increased majority, and most of the seats she'd win would be made up of those who would not cause trouble.

Mogg has always come across as a chancer, a bit of a carpet-bagger, albeit in ill-fitting clothes. He has always presented himself as someone with a tremendous conceit.

It’s fake news anyway. And no one gives a monkeys. What’s important is it won’t be Corbyn

I can't shake this feeling that Boris will get the job, it makes the clusterfk whole.

Boris was the one who I believe swayed the balance towards leave when he switched sides a few months before the vote.

He did this to take on Cameron, purely for personal reasons, he is no more a leaver than I am.

I suspect they made a playground bet at Eton who would be PM first.

Dave won the bet but Boris wanted payback, and now 66 million people have to deal with the fallout from their decades old personal spat.

Boris will get back stabbed at the last minute. We'll end up with Andrea Loathsome or whatever her name is, the third rate knockoff of May.

[Burwood]

I don’t know but if he has the numbers, he’s in. We’ll leave for sure then. It’s a fking shambles and all mps are to blame. The PM must go. Must keep Labour out. Even today it’s pretty much 50/50 so my view is que sera sera. The sky won’t fall and theirs nothing I can do about it anyway. The EU have shown themselves to be a pack of bds so fk them

157 Tory MPs were in favour of "no deal" as an option in the indicative votes - half of the parliamentary party. If they vote the same way in a leadership election, a correctly anointed "leave" candidate would be leader.

I would love someone to say to the EU £39 billion you can fk right off. If we end up with anything less than being able to do our own trade deals , taking Control of our own Laws and borders then what is the point "lets call the whole thing off" and fill the place with Farage look a likes

In a few years after the long delay being bandied about probably.

Serious fatigue with this bullst now. Its just so utterly dominating. I don't recall seeing any governmental policy news on anything else since the vote.
