That being said, I think there is a very astute statesman hidden under all the bluff, bluster and buffoonery.

What they say, and what they do, are usually two different things! How many Prime Ministers over the years have promised us all sorts of things in their election manifestos, only to go back on the promises, or only half fulfill them. I always hope that they will make good what they promise. Boris might be different, who can say?

Just to put a spanner in the works, I think he would make an excellent PM.
Last week I said there were three things I was hoping for
1) Out of the EU
2) Boris for PM
3) Trump for US president

One so far but I remain hopeful!

I do not have time for BJ - I would not choose him to organise the village fete. I hope that someone else will be chosen. We cannot have a say, as jings points out unless we join the party, something that I do not wish to do.

Do you object to those policies outlined in the OP?

Absolutely NOT!

That is exactly the right word * PRINTMISS*.

No. we do not need a buffoon to lead the country.

I don't trust him, he is a man without principles , a liar, a back stabber, an adulter, a hypocrite, dreadful man.

Snort!!

That's a 'no' for BJ, not the election

Badenkate Sun 26-Jun-16 22:44:27

No

The honest thing for them to do, I suppose, is, get their new leader in place, and then call a general election.

It's far too early to speculate.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 26-Jun-16 22:40:49

No idea. But unless we pay our twentfive quid fee and join the Conservative party, we can't vote anyway.

daphnedill Sun 26-Jun-16 22:39:51

No.

Boris has started his bid for the premiership. He is talking about a points based system for immigration, money for the NHS and pursuance of one nation policies started by David Cameron. Is he just saying what people wwNt to hear. Do you think, if made Tory leader, if he becomes Prime Minister, he would stand by these?
