UK ‘dangerously close to elected dictatorship’ under Boris Johnson, Ken Clarke warns

Elected dictatorship, works well in China - for the elite, with luck they won’t make Boris PM for life.

Me- thinks thou doth protest…….

I often wonder how posters will cope if Johnson is voted in again next time.?⚡️?Fireworks I should think.
Look, all the nonsense about dictatorships may be swallowed by the gullible, sensible people know better.

Does it not bother you that decent MP’s such as Clarke, Stewart, Soubry, Grieve and Soames couldn’t possibly serve under a Conservative leader such as Johnson?

I find it laughable reading lavish compliments about Ken Clarke from left leaning posters.?
He’s a bitter Remainer and has always been full of himself in any case.

I think he’s one of the most respected politicians of recent times. I know of several Labour voters in his area that voted for him because he was a very good constituency MP.

We've discussed this before and it's been dismissed as nonsense, or it can't possibly be a dictatorship because we haven't got people in jackboots walking all over us..

Several commentators have written much the same thing. Perhaps it might be taken more seriously coming from a former tory minister and highly experienced parliamentarian.

Very good article, I agree with him. Thanks GagaJo.

It really is. And it was so obvious what was coming and yet the 'better than Jeremy Corbyn' lemmings swarmed over the edge of the cliff to vote Tory. And here we are.

I’ve got a lot of respect for Ken Clarke, he is very sensible. Parliament has felt his loss since he stood down.

Scary isn't it.
