Boris Johnson's Popularity

[Gabriel]

I don't think you can describe Johnson as a career politician. He's had a number of jobs outside of politics and his path has certainly meandered. Should the Conservatives fail to secure an outright victory in 2015, which is quite likely, there could be a clamour for Johnson to head the party. However, he's arguably more a populist than anything, and being Mayor of London allows him greater freedom than he'd have as leader of the Conservatives. As a leader, he'd have to restrain others,let alone himself, and another thing counting against him is that the Conservatives also have a habit of choosing the option that few had predicted.

Johnson is a very, very dangerous man.

Because..............?

He forgot to finish his sentece

"Johnson is a very very dangerous man, to the political aspirations of the Labour party due to his intellect, affability, success in office and popularity with voter."

The guy is an arse. The political equivalent of Uncle Knobhead. If he's ever elected as PM I think it would finally kill off the tiny amount of faith that I still have in the British political system.

One direct quote i got about him from someone who tried negotiating with him. "He chewed my fucking balls off"

Wasn't sure if this was a Bulli party game or he was talking about his lack of negotiation skills.

Not so cuddly or foppish in real life.

I wouldn't read that as a pejorative as you have done. I'd read that as someone I would want to be negotiating on my side. Why do you think Mino Raola (sp? - Balo's agent) is so highly prized? He is a tough **** during negotiations.

So if the choice was between Boris or Ed Milliband, who would you choose?

I seriously doubt it would come to that choice, but Milliband for me if it did.
Boris is the X Factor type nominee and for that reason I'm out.

Or put it another way, who would you rather have a pint with.
