Mad that the prime minister resigning is only being discussed on the brexit thread. Brexit is dominating and poisoning our discourse like nothing before, and will continue to do so for the next decade

Sort of want him to get the job, only to see him completely and utterly **** it up.

If we'd have left on 29th March as we were supposed to, this would be done and dusted by now.

The tears don't wash with me.
Useless, weak, hopeless, nasty, evil control freak.
Cameron, May and now probably Johnson.
More like Zippos circus than a government.
Good riddance you gurning old boiler.

Exactly.
Because MPs of all sides wouldn't compromise, we will now end up with a right-wing, no-deal Brexiteer as PM.

Exactly.
A change of PM doesn't make a new option for Brexit magically appear.
After the dust has settled and a new incumbent has moved their pots and pans into no 10. The first question will be
Do you want to leave the EU with a Customs Union
or
Do you want 'No deal' with a hard border in NI, 10s of Billions and years of investment and infrastructure to get ready for it, being the only country in the world solely on WTO terms and the resultant impact on the economy and political situation in NI.
And whichever you choose, there will be a significant proportion of Leave voters, who will vote it down.
It would be funny if it was a TV satire rather than a real country with real people dying on their arses

Well we would have if those pesky Brexit supporting MPs hadn't kept on voting against it

A different kind of pasty
It's always wound me up in British politics that a Prime Minister resignation does not trigger a general election.
Yes, I know that you vote for the party, not the person, but I would wager many peoples vote in a GE would be different depending on the leader of a party.

But he still won't be able to get a no deal Brexit through parliament.
Doesn't really scan as a poem !

They voted against a new treaty, the didn't vote against leaving, they voted against not leaving.

Just glad Boris is the favourite as they never win thankfully.

Whatever happens in the coming months and years – regardless of who's is in charge – this country will be divided for years to come.
What an absolute mess.
What an absolute mess.

Bloody hope so. If the tories put Boris in charge and a GE follows, they would get DESTROYED !
Actually it's meant to be the other way around in a GE - hence why candidates are named seperately - unlike EU elections where you vote for the party and they decide who takes the seats. We the voters have never voted for the leader of the government.

Great. Let's be the ones who decide on the laws which apply in this country, let's trade outside the EU, let's decide how many people can move here.
Oh, wait, we can't do any of those things.
Can't wait to get to the bit where we have a PM who the faithful think "believes in Brexit" but is still faced with the issues of the NI border, Parliamentary arithmetic and the fact the US won't do a trade deal if we break the GFA through No Deal, all while the EU refuse to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement.
