No I dont think he'd lose but that would be due to the UK not having proportional representation in the electoral system.
Boris is the most incompetent PM we've ever had, do you disagree?

The fella just delivered Brexit after decades where the Tories wanted out , one may not like Brexit and where it originated or its aims , he has though delivered where many Tory PM failed its been there curse going all the way back to Thatchers demise through to Major, and Cameron .

He lied to cause the question of Brexit. He lied when campaigning for it (after lying to himself he didn’t want it or did).
He lied during negotiations. He lied when concluding it.
Can you spot the theme or are you that unquestioning?
Are you trying to make him out as some knight in shining armour or great statesman?:xmashehe:

Nope he's no knight in shining armour, and I think tye Brexit battles were brewing well before he tied his name to it , he simply grabbed the tail wind and used it as an opportunity to become PM , Its reported his ex wife was a driver for him to do this , before that he just wanted to stay in Europe and reform from within .
Once he saw the effectiveness of Farage, Cummings and sniffed May and Cameron hesitation on the matter he grabbed the power opportunity, they had cleverly read the mood in Labour heartlands and used it wisely .
We need to consider the voting platform this all came from such as the Brexit vote , Mays the remainer reduced seats , European Elections , and then Boris's crazy 80 seat majority win ,they all shocked and had the same message.

You are right in saying that the EU question was always asked amongst the Tory party due to them having a cabal of right wing lunatics within it.
Boris though evan as a journalist inflamed these views with his constant fibs in the Telegraph, funnily enough his motivation was to gratify himself.

Indeed however it all started when Farage resigned for the Tories on 1990''s after the Tories signed up to Maastricht

Re: Mike Bassett: England Prime Minister
It's not just the public that receives his waffly bollocks. His MPs get it as well. Interesting that he is getting more negative press from core Conservative media though, in this instance the magazine of which he was previously Editor.
Opting for a flower analogy, Johnson promised that things would be better, in terms of restrictions being eased, by the time tulip season was over – perhaps even by daffodil season. This led to MPs frantically googling floral seasons for a clue as to when restrictions would end (Tulips: early May). MPs then made the point that the dates of each season could vary depending where in the country you were.

Damning really.
Interesting statistic.
More people have died from Covid-19 in the UK in 10 months than the Luftwaffe killed civilians in WWII.
That's some achievement. 'World beating' perhaps?

More us and themism from Johnson, to go with his efforts to set up a charity to pay for decorating number 10 Downing Street.

Yes, I agree, “clueless and wanting out” seems just about right based on yesterday’s performance.

just came across this, which is a transcript of the current prime minister's response when asked about the conservative official Twitter account renaming itself "factcheck" to try to pass it's content off as impartial.
Attachment 4691
imagine spouting off that kind of waffle and bluster in your job, where would it get you?

This is someone who, we’re told, has charisma and flair - I’m never going to be a fan of his, but I honestly do not get that. Labour clearly have a policy to keep on hitting Johnson with the line “the joke’s not funny any more”, but when was it ever funny? The capacity of the British to fawn at and be so reverential towards upper class twits has always baffled me.

Hmmm... I wonder why?
It could be he once described the whole city as "wallowing in victim Hood..." and then suggested Liverpool fans robbed the dead at Hillsborough or they see him as a hopeless chancer who bullshiits and lies his way through his current role?
I'm going to have a guess and say it's probably a little bit of both?

Liverpool well ahead of the curve I'd say. When is the rest of the country going to wake up?

There' has to be a time where Labour has to stop just attacking Boris , sleaze etc, bad Tories and say how they would do things better , come the election its about the substance of policies that will matter , at the moment this is playground politics and I'm sure it will gain some short term traction .

Have you heard of 'manifestos'?
They are this new thing where parties spell out their policy offers (just) before an election. Great idea! :thumbup:

Labour surged into a commanding nine-point lead over the Tories this weekend as controversies over rule-breaking Christmas parties at Downing Street and Tory sleaze plunged Boris Johnson into a battle to save his premiership.
The latest Opinium poll for the Observer also shows 57% of voters think Johnson should now resign, up nine points from a fortnight ago, as the prime minster appears to be haemorrhaging public support.
Johnson’s personal ratings have fallen to -35%, down 14 points from what was already a record low of -21% two weeks ago.
