Alexandole Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

You need a viable opposition to hold any government to account, because Labour stuck with Corbyn and his cronies for so long there is no opposition that's effective. Theresa may got the same stick on here and probably Cameron did too, it's mainly because he is a Tory, even if the people who don't like him because he's a Tory have a point that point would be lost in the barrage of insults aimed at him because he's a Tory.

Its more with Johnson though I think. It goes beyond dislike because of his party. I didn't mind Cameron at first, bit lightweight but ok. Didnt agree with all aspects of austerity policy but in the three to four years after the crash it was probably warranted. May the same, robotic, pretty incompetent with the Brexit negotiations. Certainly couldn't hate her though. With Johnson though, its a full set 'Russian Doll'. On the inside, you have his core character, untrustworthy in the extreme in private and public. The next layer would be his handling of Brexit, the lies he told, his actions once he became prime minister. And now his handling of the crisis.
A totally abhorrent individual, out of his depth with a character totally unsuited to the UK's highest office who is inflicting massive and permanent damage to this nation. And I write that as an ex Tory voter.
 
Mexico you are so right
Am fed up with this if your not a Tory, then you must be a red far left labourite, or a wishy washy liberal when in fact I am none of the above . What I want is a government that's effective in doing it's job, the one it was elected to do , politics has/is changing from the traditional ways of Tories, labour and liberal .

Lets hope that this time the Tories remember to restock on body bags because as already proven they were happy with a projected 250,000 of us dying through Covid 19 herd immunity. They'll now ease up on the lockdown because their paymasters want us plebs back creating wealth for them thus creating more deaths .... then Brexit.

We'll be lucky if theres anyone left.

There is definitely a "If you're not with us you're against us" element to British politics today bud, it's what's killing the political process IMO and disenfranchising the normal voter.

This isn't a pop at you BTW it's just an observation.

Agree with that. This attitude of “if you don’t support Boris you’re a Corbyn lover” is sad and pathetic and gets repeated regularly by the usual suspects.
The reality is that Boris weeded out much of the talent in the Tory front bench because of his ideological zeal for Brexit. That’s left us with a cabinet full of low achieving yes men, and Boris himself seems bereft of ideas, appearing to be completely dependent on his unelected advisors to tell him what to do. Without the safety net of some cheering and jeering MPs behind him he was exposed in Parliament yesterday as an empty suit. But most people knew that anyway from his avoidance of scrutiny in the run up to the party leadership and the general election. The only times he was in a position where he was put on the spot he performed exceptionally poorly but fortunately for him, he managed to keep his appearances to mainly stage managed events.
During this pandemic, personal political preferences are suspended for me and I just want and expect a competent government and I don’t care whether it’s red, blue or yellow. We’re miles from that.

I voted Labour last time around to give him a crack at it instead of shouting from the back of the class like a disruptive teenager, obviously the electorate weren't willing to take that chance with him. The point however is that Boris could be any Tory and he's still get the flack no matter what he did.
