QUOTE(Tawdry Hepburn @ May 24 2019, 10:10 AM)  You unfortunately won't ever get him to see that, sadly. I don't particularly WANT no deal but just want us out at any cost ASAP as I know many other Brexiteers do too. We feel we've been lied to and shafted big time. |

A Boris PM will bring about independence for Scotland. That is literally the only non-depressing thing about it

QUOTE(Common Sense @ May 24 2019, 02:42 PM) I hope the Tory MP's and then party members do the right thing this time and elect Boris as PM. He'll trounce Corbyn in the next election by getting out there and bring his great personality, fun and quips to the whole country. Yes, what I look for in a Prime Minister is fun and quips |

Many people don’t realise what that cost is actually going to be to them until it happens. It’s also why an elected democracy does not want us to leave without no deal. |

I think at this point it's unfortunately a realistic possibility. I agree with what's been said above that it will literally tear this country apart from years. The only small silver lining will be seeing those who were wetting their knickers over a no-deal Brexit have to live with the consequences. Hopefully they suffer and their lives are permenantly disrupted to a certain extent. |

I don't think I have mentally prepared myself for Boris as PM.

Am I the only one who doesn't necessarily like that May's resigned? Don't get me wrong, I don't like her and she was completely incompetent. But the replacements for her are far worse and her can-kicking made the prospect of a people's vote or another referendum more likely.
I feel the EU will get fed up and pretty much give us an ultimatum come October if nothing is still agreed - either leave with no deal or retract Article 50 and remain part of the EU. If we get a PM that's more for a hard brexit, I fear we'll be looking at a no deal come October. |

Look we just want the referendum result to be honoured. The EU gave us a reasonable deal. Out of boredom late one night I researched the small print and it's far from perfect but would be acceptable and MP's should have voted for it. Serves them right if we do crash out with No Deal. The EU will surely lose patience with us soon and refuse any more extensions. They'll say revoke or no deal. Boris is reported as saying today that he's quite prepared for us to leave with no deal.

Most political commentators today and in fact many Tory MP's that I've heard on the new channels seem to think Boris will be the next PM.

An advisory referendum cannot be honoured. A referendum won by fraud should not be honoured. |

He's held down the job of London Mayor and turned up to grillings and meetings. He served as Foreign Secretary which is a strenuous job with lots of foreign travel. |

That's how he made so many gaffes. What did he actually achieve as London Mayor? What are these "grillings" to which he was subjected. Do you mean the occasions when he just insulted anyone who asked a vaguely difficult question? He was sacked from one job because he was too lazy to get some genuine quotes for an article and just made them up. |

Used to watch them live on BBC Parliament and he came across very informed and knowledgeable about all the subjects. This post has been edited by Common Sense: May 24 2019, 05:39 PM |

"...making up quotes, lying to your party leader, wanting to be part of someone being physically assaulted - you’re a nasty piece of work aren’t you?" |

So you do mean the "grillings" where he answere4d difficult questions with insults. I'm still waiting for an example of anything he actually achieved as mayor. Of course, it would be wrong to overlook some of his other pronouncements. Like, for example, his description of an investigation into alleged child abuse that resulted in no prosecutions as "spaffing money up the wall". |

People who know my moral persuasion will be able to pinpoint exactly why I dislike Boris Johnson.
As I've said before, I can't see him being PM, as I can't see him being voted into the final two by his fellow Conservative MPs, regardless of who puts themselves forward for the leadership. I can't make a prediction as two which two they will be until we see who is running, but I think one of them will be someone none of us would have initially expected (no-one would've predicted Andrea Leadsom would have made the final two last time, mainly because no-one had heard of her until that point). |
