[Politics] Next Prime Minister

[Albion my Albion]

Part of me wants him to get it now, he will make a complete mess of it.

His lies will finally catch up on him.

Is this about Johnson or Trump?

The criticism of May is valid up to a point BUT the parliamentary arithmetic meant, in the end, she needed Corbyn/Labour support and [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION] is right he was never interested in the national interest. The Labour leadership team have only ever had one goal ... manoeuvring for a general election.

It's all that any party in opposition manoeuvres for.
It's all about power and they will do anything to get it and blame everything on the previous government to stay there, even if it was 10 years ago.

It's almost like our system is broken and that it doesn't serve the people anymore. Which, obviously, I find totally surprising.

But she did have the Parliamentary majority (with the DUP) to get it through. Trouble is that a significant number of her Government think a deal with a customs union isn't what was voted for, and a significant number think no deal and a border in NI wasn't what was voted for.

Across the house there are a large majority of MPs who want to enact Brexit to get a bill through (as you constantly point out as a result of the last election), but the same problem remains they can't agree which Brexit they should support to accurately represent the views of their constituents.

Now I wonder how they could go about finding a resolution to that

The beauty of Johnson is that there does not need to be any kind of smear campaign or dirt dug up on him, he has smeared himself time after time already!

I know. All those idiots who think that the worlds 5th largest economy needs to be subservient to the EU. Talk about thick.

Luckily, there’s enough who have the ability to see that the UK is big enough to thrive once we get unshackled.

'Thick' is thinking we are subservient to the EU - we're not, we're part of a team.

Unfortunately, we're currently playing the part of Jack Rodwell...

Look at this lot, bojo, completely bonkers. mcvey, despicable woman. Leadsom = gilf. Raab, thinks he's ard. Stewart, smart but looks like a schoolboy. Gove, knob head. Handcock, eats what he preaches, waffle. And finally Hunt, resembles a wet blanket, always got the look of a scared rabbit in headlights.

Any of them with the guts to actually deliver what they promise which should be Brexit with a deal or on WTO terms at the end of October , enough of this sham of letting MP's ignore the vote 'they' gave to the people & promised to act upon.

But a small majority of MPs are trying to enact what a small majority of voters said they wanted. Unfortunately some want a deal and a customs union, some want no deal and a border in NI. And some MPs are representing the views of voters who want to remain.

So it appears they have been representing exactly what their constituents voted for. Changing PM won't change that.

It's Sovereign democracy in action

The new PM will do exactly the same - even though it would be only a month ago...….

Corrected for you

I guess they all deserve respect for stepping forward to take the position at this point in history. Respect including an element of questions over their sanity there. Boris would be silly, we'd look like amateur night on the world stage. Cameron had the statesman qualities required. Boris is in a different postcode.

To some degree, identity is secondary. I hope we end up seeing a shoot out between two clear alternative approaches to Brexit so the members can then make their choice.

Maybe a GE is then the way forward. Con and Lib will have a resurgence to some degree with a new leader and if Lab keep JC and Abbott up front, they will suffer.

they tried the indicitive vote thing and whipped/abstained, to prevent a clear and open account of MPs views. Labour were pushing for a GE upto the new year, mentioned in about every interview. though May should have involved them from the start too, to de-politicise the negotiation.

Which one promised WTO in campaign back in 2016?

Current odds

Boris 6/4
Raab 4/1
Gove 5/1
Hunt 12/1

Depressing choice. If I had to choose I'd go with Raab?

The man who, when he was Secretary of State for Brexit, didn't understand how the port of Dover operated ?

Good choice

(Not that it makes any difference who gets in )
