Well if he could somehow get over this and win in 2024 there’s no reason to stop in 2029. Nobody is buying backbenchers fancy wallpaper and treehouses, keep milking it as long as you can.

It’s possible he gets through another six months but I can’t see him lasting beyond that. Two years or so out from an election at that point, a new leader is going to need that to set their platform and put a bit of distance between themselves and Boris.

I’m starting to think the no confidence vote was triggered by pro Boris factions before these by elections because I think he’d lose it if that was called now.

The thing that really did May in was the inability to get bills through parliament, making her a pointless PM.

I’m not sure how that plays out with Boris current majority but I think those kinds of rebellions are the only way this is going to be forced unless there’s another confidence vote in 11 months.

If he survives this current few weeks of shite then I don’t know when the next turning point is. There’s still plenty of cunts happy to go on TV and defend him and even rebellious backbenchers I can’t really see blaming him for the current economic issues.

What are peoples thoughts on Gordon Brown as chancellor? His time as Prime Minister really soiled his legacy

Edit: no idea why I posted this here but just a continuation of non elected PMs like May and Boris (initially)

It’s just a numbers game. He’s now deeply unpopular amongst the base that provided the huge majority. Won’t be long now until some more Torys have to resign over something and he’s facing another huge by election defeat. Polls will continue to slide etc.

The real worry at this stage is who replaces him.

He’s a union loving weirdo but a very smart man. I do think he was disliked because he got in without a general election and he was Scottish

That idiot sold off all our gold

They’re surely a dead party walking until the next election.

Starmer isn’t going to say anything to take the attention away from them and they are so bad they are guaranteed to make things worse until then.

I mean, the rail workers strike hit them hard which is crazy since those guys are painted as overpaid strikehungry people.

But wait till the Nurses strike. Because they’re about to. And the teachers. And the doctors.

Labour bounce over?

do they form teams afterwards over there? if so, who do Labour team up with to get a majority? if it works that way that is (it does here).

The SNP to cause rage would be funny

Yougov: if there was a general election today

Coalition of chaos, bring it on :arteta2:

I don’t even know what a Tory strategy would be now.

No Brexit and oven ready deals. No magic money tree scares because they’re the ones who do that now. No socialism to oppose.

It would just have to be protect our mighty union, which is something I think English people have softened on anyway in the last few years.

If this holds a referendum on PR would be very risky.

This has been the Scottish Conservatives main voting sound bite in every vote in Scotland since 2014 lol. The main Conservative party may aswell use it aswell now :rofl:

Country could do with a coalition government who are forced to work together and compromise

a coalition government would be awful, just like the last one. Unfortunately in the UK and actually most of the world, the choice of leaders leaves much to be desired
