I'd accept opposition to it from a moral high ground more if the same people who refused to accept the biggest electoral vote in history and spent 7 years crying about it and the people who object to parties appointing new PMs wasn't a Venn diagram that is essentially one big circle.

I also haven't heard you mention this point in respect of Miles v Gething which is going on now and in the country we live in.

Obviously questioning our democracy to make a party political point is less appealing to you in this instance?!
To be fair to Johnson, he’s the one Prime Minister out of the last four to have actually won a majority in an election. That’s why we’re not talking about a Blair to Brown, Drakeford to Gethin or even Thatcher to Major type handover here, the Conservatives have taken this country for a joke for years with their convulsions over Europe and have got themselves into a position where they change leaders, and Prime Ministers, at the drop of a hat - incredibly, there serious calls being made by some in the party for a fourth change of Prime Minister in this Parliament, it’s gone beyond the sort of one off handovers we e seen in the past.
