Yes, man-child Owen Jones is literally furiously rubbing himself at the thought of Johnson getting the sack. The political naivety of it - kind of reminds me of the left wing komrades here. Cute in a way. Sacking Johnson will be the worst possible thing that can happen for your preposterous Corbynite turnips-for-christmas aspirations. ...another feckwit...just 'smarter in appearance' than Johnson...both odious self serving, publicity hugging individuals

There are valid criticisms of Johnson....mind you there are valid criticisms of most politicians. What matters is what party rules....Brexit is by far the most important situation for the next ten years and we need a leaver leading it. Let's see the country decide. Both leavers...just one of them honest about it. Edited by Stirlingsays (09 Nov 2017 10.25am) This is where our system is messed up. The country - well roughly 60% of them will decide not to vote for the winning Party that either Boris (or Theresa) or Jeremy will lead yet they could form a majority government. Bit like the US with its two-horse race where the one with the most votes loses on occasion. Think the election will be sooner than 2020 tbh.

Sure, but what other system would be better?....Should we force people to vote? Kind of goes against the point of democracy.....a lot of people consider all of them a shower and don't want to know or get forced to support one. Tory or not....I'm not voting for May if she's leader for the election....She just pisses me off too much...anti free speech blue rinser. An election before 2020? Perhaps....I'm all electioned out myself..if it were soon....I think I'd leave social media for a month to get away from it.

Personally i think we should...I agree that as a democracy people have a choice of 'who' to vote for, but they can always choose to spoil their vote once at the ballot box.

I think she knows she's coming back. Johnson likes her and May has just made herself another enemy. Edited by Stirlingsays (09 Nov 2017 11.51am)

Proportional representation - make votes count, not where you live count. Too many parties are f**ked over in terms of seats, despite achieving reasonable returns nationally (notably this has been the Green Party and UKIP primarily). If 3% of the public vote BNP, then that 3% deserve representation in parliament - even if I think they're c**ts.

She's not a bad looking woman. Those cheek bones look like she's smiling when she isn't. When she stands up you notice she needs to lose a few stone. Remember in 2010 outside parliament she didn't know the difference between debt and deficit and on QT she gave a figure for London homes built of about 250,000 I think.
