Don’t you listen to the news? Ukraine love him so yes, both Sweden and Finland hold him in very high regard… high standing indeed.

I would say that about 2/3 of all Swedes have no clue whatsoever who he is.
Of the remaining 1/3, some 50% couldn’t mention anything about him except “weird hairstyle”. 40–45% would know what party he represents, and nothing else.
The remaining 2–3% of the Swedish population would probably, on average, have a fairly negative opinion of him, seeing as he’s to the right of most of the Swedish political landscape and is best known for having shot his country in the foot.

Boris Johnson is mostly famous for his hair here, and about as popular as British Leyland. I think we mostly see him as the lesser evil between all three blond world villains, guilty “only” of robbing us of the possibility to privately import good, British whiskey tariff-free, as used to be the case during those golden days of British EU membership. A good and regular face palm clown who can be counted on for the odd chuckle in hard times.…

Are there floating voters in here, I find it strange that people support a party blindly like you would a football team

When there’s so few options and as diverse as they are I don’t think it’s blind support with respect.
And yes it seems there’s a couple of floaters on here :-)

BBC 5live choosing callers ringing in who sound like Johnson has died.

BBC News has had a couple of people on almost sounding like eulogies.

Starmer can taunt them with their association with BJ in the same way BJ taunts Starmer with his links to Corbyn.

The difference being there’s no shortage of footage of every one of them being sycophantic towards Johnson, whereas with Starmer the links to Corbyn are quite tenuous.

Ahhh, right. So it’s for the good of the people I see, that’s a far more important principle.
If the price to pay is an increase in Tory popularity, it’s a price worth paying.
That is very noble of you.

I didn’t say anything about it being for the good of the people, it’s about ensuring our parliamentary standards and norms are protected. Doesn’t mean I agree with them, they have to be changed in the right way though.

Ukrainians will love the next PM as well, because he'll also support them with military aid.

It's weird enough that Boris Johnson pretended like he was solely responsible for the UK governments support of Ukraine, but at least we can put that down to his churchilian cosplay fantasies.

It's inexcusable that anyone else has fallen for the same bollocks.

Why are you even mentioning this like some pathetic right whatabouterism?

to make the point that politics is shitshow at the mo and we could end up with a situation of both main parties having no leader at the same time.

sorry I will make sure I clear my posts in advance with you in future.

So your principles are, you would prefer the Tories to stay in power without Boris than have a Labour Government.
I do find that difficult to believe

No I want what’s best for the country now, I want the Labour Party to win an election because how good they are, not because how bad the tories are.

That was yesterday's wheeze. Clearly the instruction had gone out that it was a Johnson mandate, not a Conservative mandate - Conor Burns was at it at lunchtime and Johnson repeated it at every opportunity.

It's a fairly deranged position to take up.

Q for them. Does this mean you now have no mandate?
