It's looking close. Seems to be tipped in the balance of Johnson's favour though![]()
If Johnson wins I wonder if he will want a GE?

#dreamteamWe have Davis, Raab, Truss etc - surely a proven group of winning negotiators?
I’ll have to reread it so, as I thought he was arguing against Boris going for no deal.I think I did.
Apologies @BobKowalski Its fast moving as always and a skim read doesnt always help when replying.
Edit. No i dont think i did lol. he thinks we are going for a no deal brexit and i dont.
Christ this thread!
I think he would as he could stand on a platform as the pm that delivered brexitIf Johnson wins I wonder if he will want a GE?

Controversial opinion. Johnson is lying to them. Johnson is always lying to someone and my bet is that’s it the ERG mob. He needs their votes. But think about it. Why wait 14 months to trigger a no deal scenario? Tories may not even be in power in 14 months. Would make more sense to refuse to do a deal with the EU, get a three month extension forced on him, fight an election as the no deal champion, win it and then no deal in January.
Just a thought.

It would need to be quick for the voting public not to realise the consequences. We are not going to be enjoying the per capita income of Switzerland for a while.I think he would as he could stand on a platform as the pm that delivered brexit
It really is complete bollocks.
Think about it for 1 microsecond. Johnson pontificated for ages about whether to back Remain or Leave. So let's for the sake of argument accept for one moment the left-wing-driven propaganda that he is a self-serving liar who only ever does anything for personal gain, and that he only backed Leave because he thought it would get him his best shot at No. 10.
Well he's in No. 10, isn't he. So no need for further duplicity. And his actions have shown that he's actually not a hard liner at all. He's come up with a much softer Brexit than anyone anticipated.
Now you can continue to think it's some kind of master conspiracy to fool us all and he's hell bent on a hard Brexit. Or you can just accept the reality that he really isn't a hard liner at all.
That sounds impressive. Bigger than normal MPs lies then?Time will tell and events may change any plan.
BTW he is a proven liar of monumental proportions.

Even if jezza finished today, he's successfuly recalibrated politics in this country so there is some semblance of a left wing instead of the cosy cabal of the center right where the likes of Blair or umuna could fit into any of the three main partys simply by changing the colour of their ties.
I really don't need to thanks. I'm quite happy for you to get off on it.It's all in the public domain, knock yourself out.
And yes way more lies than a 'normal MP'.
Even if you take the brexit issue away we still need a GE. With all the expulsions, resignations and moving between parties this parliament now consists of a minority govt and looks nothing like the one elected at the last GE.If Johnson wins I wonder if he will want a GE?

Yes, by a fair amount. Not much bigger than the average Tory though.That sounds impressive. Bigger than normal MPs lies then?
Wow... so it was Thatcher’s fault.. I’ve heard her blamed for some things but not sure I’ve heard that one before..
I realise it’s a conundrum hence the question so thanks for the explanation
It's just a bit wearing isn't it, the tired old anti-tory rhetoric. I suppose backing a party of lefty losers can make you rather bitter.I'm liking you more and more chippy old chap.
You've obviously got total amnesia about what life was like in the 1970's. Total amnesia.Thatcher in my opinion was the end of the begining for this country. She destroyed the post WW2 Social consensus and introduced the nation to Hayekian neo-liberalism. I will always despise her despite the fact she was successful and a fairly decent PM when you consider what followed.
I do not despise her as much as the gang of four who broke away from Labour to start the SDP, they were responsible for Thatcher and everything that followed. She normalised the hard right and that in my mind is unforgiveable. What we may be seeing after Brexit is the conclusion of the Thatcher project and lord fucking help us. Her spawn make her look sane.
