The Tories will win the next GE as people will punish Labour. Eh? He is an archetypal populist! You're tight that he will try to spin a blame narrative when it goes tits up but I can't see it working. If he blames the evil EU then that clashes with the narrative that Britain is all powerful he's spun until now. And he will have massive problems with both the NI border and Scotland. I can't see how the failure of a hard bexit can be spun onto Labour at all tbh, although Corbyn will always be a huge liability. Johnson isn't really anti-EU, he's ambivalent at worst. He used Brexit for his own personal ends. But it is very much a poisoned chalice. I bet he doesn't take it, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's looking like every other fucker in the tory party has thrown their hat in the ring. I suspect Johnson will have the largest block. From there him becoming PM is a shoe in. Thing is though, he's not stupid and is all about himself. He knows no deal would be catastrophic and the WA will have to be signed, but there is still not the arithmetic for it. He wouldn't win a GE following a crash out imo. So what does he do? One thing is for certain, our democracy the leavers are always harping on about is a fucking joke. The EU is more democratic. Is there any evidence that Johnson is popular among his colleagues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would get the ERG block I'd guess, although maybe not if Raab stood? I think though at lot of tory MPs think he is their best chance at the next GE, and so preserving their own seats. Idiots like you know who do lap him up. He's favourite for the job anyhow. About the only potential contender I can stomach is Rory Stewart, but he's far too normal to stand a chance.

I think it's impossible with the current parliamentary arithmetic and another GE might not change this much anyway. Gove is also too physically repulsive to be PM.

The quid has fallen over 1000 pips in 2 weeks, if anyone was heavy short they’d be buying to close it, hence a small rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17746 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 They're all utterly vile, every word that comes out of their mouths is a lie. Lies after fucking lie. And the Brexit Party. Tice just their actually blaming the liquidation of British Steel on the EU ffs. And he knows a sizable proportion of Scunthorpe will believe him. They honestly make me feel physically sick.
