Will we have a new PM by the end of the month?

JenniferEccles balanced post 17:27 yesterday

JenniferEccles your post yesterday was balanced.

I am not a fan of Mr.Johnson however, I would prefer to see him lose his seat at an election than be deposed by No.10 leaks and the media circus.

Very good post JenniferEccles yesterday at 17.27.
Just wondering why you’d prefer for BJ to lose his seat at an election rather than be deposed by number 10 GrannyGravy?

He think he is a man of the people therefore the people should decide.

If he is deposed from within the U.K. will have yet another unelected PM.

Thanks GrannyGravy. Very good points. In a democracy the people should decide.

It wouldn't have mattered a jot who'd been in power when the pandemic struck as anyone would have demanded vaccinations all round, it would have been the first thing on anyone's mind I'd have thought.

This is a very interesting situation that BJ's in at the moment.

I might be wrong but I think most people who have commented about wanting him to resign want him to resign as PM, not as an MP.

The only people who voted for Johnson were the people of Uxbridge. The rest of the country who voted Tory because they thought they wanted Johnson as PM might be enlightened to know that the Tory Party can replace him any time they want - it doesn't matter who you want for PM, the party in power get to decide.

All PMs are "unelected", except by the people in their own constituency.

I know that Alegrias1 I would like to see Mr. Johnson voted out by his constituents.

Normally going into an election the electorate know the leaders of the parties and therefore the choice of prospective PM. This worked against the Labour Party last time as there were many many voters in the anyone is better than Mr. Corbyn camp.

Well many of us would like to see Mr Johnson voted out by his constituents.

But right now I'd just be happy with him not being PM, then in a couple of years the voters of Uxbridge can decide for themselves if he is a suitable man to represent them in Parliament.

It would be very interesting to do a Poll in Uxbridge.

MPs are elected by constituents. The party leader of the Conservative party is chosen by fellow MPs whittling down those who put themselves forward. When the final two candidates remain the party members then vote.

Last time round Jeremy Hunt v Boris Johnson.

Good post JenniferEccles, very fair and I feel the same.

Yes, I agree. Good points Alegtias. Of course I already knew that MPs are elected by their constituents but it’s amazing how many people when interviewed on tv say they voted for …….who is actually the leader of the party rather than their particular potential MP. You see it every general election.

Yes maddyone I agree.

Unless there are some changes for the better in the Conservative Party I will probably not vote next time round. Our constituency MP is very good, but I find myself politically homeless at the moment.

HolySox said "This a consequence of 10 years of austerity, that being a consequence of the financial crisis under Labour."
I think they meant the international financial crisis caused by the deregulation of the banking system, not Labour.

Allsorts said Look what Corbin got away with! I don't understand, what did Corbyn get away with?

Yup, the old favourites being trotted out, I shall get out my bingo card, have my pen poised over the 'Starmer let Savile off' accusations which will surely be next. Good grief.

Please vote. Spoil your ballot card if need be by writing on it “None of the above”. It’s important.
