Alexandole Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Respectfully - no, you don’t. You believe your political leanings are for the good of the country but that doesn’t make you automatically right, nor does it make you automatically wrong. You just have an opinion - the same as the rest of us - but to make out you care more about the country than someone else is a bit wank.

Not when it’s protecting your own political party before helping people, it isn’t. That makes the person making that point a bit of a ****.

Weve tried 3 years of having an utter **** in charge. Almost anybody else taking over will be of some benefit to the country.

What a shame. Boris is the only PM I've ever liked but anyone in that job is going to get shot down in flames. He's done the right thing getting out of that cesspit of cunts.
Step forward the next citizen smith doing their best wolfie impression through lying eyes.

If this isn’t a wum then get yourself to a loony bin

it's a divided country, two-party politics means what one hates the other loves. throw in the London versus the rest, the old v young, inherited wealth v renters, expoiters v exploited, it becomes the least worse is what you are forced to choose. f'kin mess.

Add in the toxicity of Brexit

 

[Gabriel]

Doesn't matter who or which party comes next. Country is ungovernable.

Johnson will become an Aunt Sally but the problems are much deeper than him. Scotland needs to become independent, the situation in Northern Ireland needs to be resolved, and then England needs to change its electoral system and decide what it wants to do. The fantasy of ‘levelling up’ also dies today, so people should be told the truth of what lies ahead.

It’s time for politicians from all sides to sit down and do their job, as years of doing nothing has made everyone poorer.

I’m not sure Kev but even if he did wrong it’s a mere snowflake compared to the blizzard than is Bozo.

agreed but we could end up with both main parties having no leader !

what a shit show

 

[Vic]

To what end though mate? He won’t be able to get any new policy through. If he is unable to form a cabinet then I’d concur with you but in the absence of that it seems like creating chaos for the sake of it. On the international stage Johnson has actually done ok (ignoring Brexit, particularly the furore with the NI protocol for a minute), with the Ukraine war the world needs continuation not more chaos or crisis. What this country, or the world, doesn’t need is some leadership hopeful taking the reigns and using it as an leadership campaign.

He’s gone. Rejoice at that.

I was doing, till I read that sycophantic nonsense.

Your wasting your time.
Unfortunately there are quite a few on here with the it’s my way or the highway that think just like him. They are on each and every politics thread so very easy to spot.
Fortunately they are a minority and will never be in a position of power so they are harmless really.

 

[Vic]

I don’t think many realise this.
If someone else comes in and does a half decent job there is only 1 Party going to benefit at the next election and I think we can safely say it’s not the Party that most posters support on here.

Only because of braindead voters. Not mentioning any names.

 

[Summerbuzz]

Possibly not, although there's hardly an abundance of outstanding candidates lined up to replace him. Suella Braverman and Steve Baker the first to throw their hats into the ring, god help us. The leadership election could yet further divide the Conservative party too.

I have this strange feeling this is likely to be because they are isolated within the party, and want to reaffirm that they are popular with the base.
