So the PM who wasn’t elected, representing a government who didn’t get a majority, should fill his cabinet with people who are committed to something that doesnt have public, nor parliamentary, majority support. Does that seem representative or democratic? No Deal is not Johnson’s preferred option but we will all know whether he is prepared ultimately to lead Britain out of the EU without a deal and honour the referendum result by the Cabinet that he appoints.The public who voted to leave want politicians to deliver the result of the referendum but they have been thwarted by Parliament.The stock of politicians is I suspect at an all-time low.

Willo, Johnson will not lead us out with no deal on October 31st. The only deal is what is currently on the table. It doesn't matter which of his fellow clowns are in the cabinet with him, they cannot circumnavigate Article 24 if we take a no deal. Originally posted by Willo

Edited by Willo (21 Jun 2019 11.09am) But who would such a cabinet be representing? Those in support of no deal make up a relatively small percentage of the population, and an even smaller percentage of Parliament - how can it be representative that the entire cabinet is made up of people supporting this one view?

How do you know it's a small percentage? i would say quite the opposite. The only ones who don't want a no deal are Parliament and they have to realise if the EU doesn't budge we need to walk.

As I mentioned,in my humble estimation the Cabinet must be one whose members are all signed up to No Deal if necessary, rather than those who are against No Deal at any cost.I don't believe the cabinet should be split on this major issue else there could well be problems not just for the PM but the Conservative Party. It will be of course up to Boris Johnson and I am not his advisor ! He is far more erudite than I am ! Off out now to team up with some of my Conservative chums !! And all Bojo supporters !

I agree the behaviour of the current cabinet has been quite shameful, collective responsibility went out of the window with both Remainers and Brexiteers briefing against cabinet policy. The first job of the PM must be to restore order within the cabinet. If potential members cannot agree to a no deal Brexit as a backstop then they should not take the job.
