WHO DO YOU FANCY FOR OUR NEXT PM, AND WHY?

The greens are never going to be in No 10 in my or my AC's lifetimes.

Jura2 - Jonathan Pie is great, I follow him on Facebook! ?

So, people elected David Cameron ... and now, for the second time, .7 of the population with an average age over 60, will decide who the next PM is.

Boris Johnson in 2007 had very strong views re an un-elected PM taking over from Tony Blair:

"It's the arrogance. It's the contemps that's what gets me. It's Gordon Brown's apparent belief that he can just trample on the democratic will of the British people... the gigantic fraud.

They voted for Tony and yet they now get Gordon. A transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero. It is a scandal. Why are we all conniving in this stitch-up.... without a mandate of the British people.

No one elected Gordon Brown as PM. Gordon Brown could appease public indignation over that, by asking the public vote at once on him. Let's have an election without delay."

Indeed Boris, the British public did NOT elect you- at all. It is not the job of .7% of the population, av. over 60, to decide the future of this country, and even less the future of our young people.

The people voted to leave in the referendum and hopefully that's what Boris will do.

"Boris Johnson described gay people as "bumboys", compared equal marriage to three men marrying a dog, discussed beating up a journalist with a criminal, called black people "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles", and was sacked twice for dishonesty.

Where is the scrutiny?"

"It's the arrogance. It's the contemps that's what gets me. It's Boris Johnson's apparent belief that he can just trample on the democratic will of the British people... the gigantic fraud.

They voted for David and yet they now get Boris. A transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero. It is a scandal. Why are we all conniving in this stitch-up.... without a mandate of the British people.

No one elected Boris Johnson as PM. Boris Johnson could appease public indignation over that, by asking the public vote at once on him. Let's have an election without delay." .... and before he throws the country into Do Deal - which is certainly NOT what the people (whowever they are?!?) voted for.

... contempt...

Alan Duncan is very funny and on point when he talks of his old boss Johnson. Duncan was known in government circles as the 'pooper scooper" because he spent all day clearing up Johnson's shit. End quote

None of them, they are a disgrace. Nasty party and always will be.

It will end up as the UK being under the hand of the US and treated like a friend as in the case of Canada who had agreements until they were torn up . I seem to remember headlines in times before (60s/70s) joining the EU asking if the UK was going to be the 51st state.

There are some very petty COMMENTS on here. Yes I am shouting. Grow up and leave the poor lady alone. Some of you are behaving as bad as the muppets in parliament!

Could you elaborate Yorkshiregirl - which poor lady? Boris Johnson?

mokryna yes! I remember that as well. People were very concerned. Obviously had more intelligence back then.

I’m with Maisie.... couldn’t care less about Tories...all out for what their next expenses claim could be.Stuff the rest of us...and our paltry lives.

Yea...stuff 'em.

They must have very little respect for us and the entire country if they are prepared to unleash a known liar, racist and misogynist to be their leader and ergo ours too.

Reading through this thread my mood veered from laughter to wanting to just weep.

I can only imagine that they are thrilled to be getting a tax reduction on their MP's salaries and they're prepared to sell their souls to the devil for a place in his cabinet.

Yorkshiregirl I’m not sure who you mean? Which lady?

It looks like it will be Bojo - hopefully with Jeremy Hunt. I think Gove has shot himself in the foot. I would hate to see Corbyn - I alwaya liked David Milliband , but I don't suppose he would want to come back.

Please GbriellaG54 will you tell me why you think Boris would be a good prime minister? What are his policies that will help the less advantaged in our society?

so 9000 Scottish Tories( I can never believe there are any never mind 9000) get to vote for a leader of a party we haven't voted into power since 1955 thats NINETEEN FIFTY FIVE ,to pass a brexit we voted against .We are supposed to accept that this is democracy....ha bloody ha .

From another forum [with permission to share] 'So it looks like we are headed for a Boris Johnson lead hard Brexit. So what do we actually know about his credentials for the role of high office. Well as Mayor of London he promised to end rough sleeping by 2012. It doubled under his leadership. He promised there would be manned ticket offices at every station; he closed all of London's ticket offices.
He conspired with Darius Guppy a fellow Old Etonian, to try to hire thugs to attack News of the World journalist, Stuart Collier. Just let that soak in for a moment. Our future PM arranging to have someone beaten up because they were asking questions about one of his chums.
He spent £322,00 on armoured water cannon trucks that were made illegal in this country (thank god) and later sold for scrap for £11000. Let’s just think about this for a moment. He bought 3 armoured trucks, fitted with water cannons, to use on civilians. In London.
He decided to build the garden bridge. A £53m folly that was never built and cost the taxpayers £43m.
As foreign secretary gaffes and inappropriate remarks were virtually daily events. There were the jokes about dead bodies in Libya and the singing of verses by Rudyard Kipling in Myanmar. There was his inaccurate statement that the detained British Iranian national Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe had been in Iran training journalists , which then led to her being told her sentence could be double. He’s said that Muslim women looked like bank robbers and letter boxes.
The foreign minister Alan Duncan said that one countries foreign minister had asked him what was it like being Mr Johnson's "pooper scooper" because he had cleared up his mess all the time.
We know that he is a habitual liar, he has lied about affairs and matters of paternity. He has been sacked twice in the past for lying. In 1988 from The Times for fabricating a quote in an article, and in 2004 as shadow arts minister of the Tory Party for lying about an extra-marital affair.
He flips flops. One moment writing anti Brexit articles the next pro. One moment he’s eulogising Turkey, the next demonising it. One moment Trump is Ignorant', 'out of his mind' and 'unfit to be President' the next he’s the greatest leader ever. '

I would strongly advise you to Google your question(s) and/or email Boris himself at the Hoc or his constituency offices.
Addresses can be found on the government website.

That way, you are getting the news straight from the horse's mouth and not my biased views, which I certainly wouldn't dream of inflicting on a remainer.
'Tis not my role to change your already made-up mind.

Not one of them,they are all backstabbers.

Ha ha, Misha, absolutely no chance of an answer to that one from G.

Or anybody else .

You are clearly an evil leftie , who is trying to trick people and pretending to be asking a question.

Those seem like the perfect credentials for a future PM.
At least they are out in the public domain, not hidden and denied.
