Johnson might have survived a vote of no confidence but that doesn't mean he's secure in number 10. So in this video we outline why Johnson's days may be numbered and why he might not have much more than 6 months left.

Boris doesn't cut taxes. He just promises he will, then doesn't. This should be obvious to all at this point.
It was also the tax he chose.
NI is paid by workers not on rent income or share dividends
That's just Tories, cut the taxes to the rich who don't pay it anyway, cover it by tax rises on the working class.
Why they had to attack labour, claiming such nonsense as Jeremy Corbyn Being antisemitic (he isn't, Tories are way more) or trying that joke of beergate with pre pandemic photos as "evidence"
Labour actually lower taxes on the working class and makes the rich pay taxes, and the Tories are scared
He has realized those tax cuts are not realistic and not a good idea.
The nation is falling apart, corporations are making record profits, screw cutting taxes. Get the rich to pay their share.
@@owenrichards1418 and vote labour, now if only Keir starmer learned to do politics and found his socialist roots again.
Or have the greens take over labour
The UK is in the midst of one of its worst crisis in living memory, and we have this bumbling, degenerate government to deal with it
Yet the logic of "it is precisely because we are in such a crisis that we can't risk changing PM!" is continually imposed on us in a gaslighting fashion.
yes, its a funny time, if you living in the EU like i do!
And sadly, as a nation, we kind of deserve what we've dished up for ourselves. Maybe more people will wake up to what's been going on for decades now that its finally starting to effect them and not just the people they can conveniently ignore.
The bumbling, degenerate government caused it.
It is dangerous to treat the Johnson government as "bumbling" or "incompetent", as they are anything but - they have successfully misled the public for 3 years about their real intentions of milking the public purse for all its worth - degenerate, self-dealing, corrupt, and dishonest, for sure, but not stupid.
The difference between Johnson and others who won a No Confidence vote and yet left is that Johnson is so selfish, he would never resign. Ever.
And as far as the Ministerial Code goes, it's not actually regulation. It's a voluntary code, which Johnson can ignore.
yep and that is why the voters need to get rid of him by removing his enablers one by one.
It’s a voluntary code like the one year of safety after a no confidence vote. He is done once enough Tory MPs decide he has to go whether he resigns or not.
If he's found to have broken the ministerial code, as I understand it, he becomes vulnerable to a recall petition.
Sorry, but couldn't the Labour start a no confidence vote in the House of Commons and kick him out with the help of Conservative MPs?
@@paolobarontini799 it’s a lot less likely as Labour can only call for a no confidence vote in the government (which leads to a General Election). Only Tory MPs can vote no confidence in the PM which removes him but not the party. The rules of Parliament are alot more defined then the rules for selecting the leader of a party.
So pleased you refer to him as Johnson. I try not to use ‘Boris’ when referring to him as I don’t want to fall into the PR trap of making him sound like a mate or someone you know from the pub.
Completely agree! I try to do this too. I don't want to give him any credit- just using his first name sounds really over-familiar.
Do we curtsy when we meet Sir Keir ?
I always go for loser Johnson, that's got a real ring to it.
@@verystripeyzebra I sometimes go with Boorish Johnson.
@@julianshepherd2038 , I guess that’s up to you.
As Johnson has tied himself to the mast of Brexit ("get Brexit done" and all that), Wakefield will be a test of whether the Brexit-voting red wall have finally realized they've been conned.
They will elect a Labour MP for sure, but that won't mean they've changed their minds on Brexit.
Get Boris Done!
Yeah conservatives don’t equal brexit as many tories were pro remain. Many of these past labour voters/ party members were pro leave so it isn’t that simple.
As a Labour supporter, I hope Jonhosn leads the Tories into the 2024 elections. He significantly increases the chance of a Labour UK Government.
Either way … Tories with or without … they’re doomed …
Comparing Boris and Theresa's situations is interesting. Personally, I don't particularly like either of them as prime minister, but it seems as though Theresa was a fairly "meh" politician who was struggling to solve a difficult problem (which Boris "solved" by ignoring all the reasons why it was so difficult, like Northern Ireland which he only just seems to be realising is tricky).
Whilst Boris on the other hand seems to be harmful to the country (whether actively or passively). Since becoming prime minister, he has been fined by the police for breaking rules he created, supported concerning policies (such as the Rwanda deportations), refused to have a BSL interpreter at important televised briefings and this latest lunacy of trying to bring back imperial measurements instead of moving towards ditching them for good to name a few things off the top of my head.
He also didn't have a great track record before becoming prime minister: his entire political career seems to have been built on trying to become prime minister; as foreign minister, his words contributed to increased prison sentences for British citizens in Iran; he was essentially the figurehead for Brexit making claims that have never materialised, like his NHS bus slogan (arguably to help him become prime minister); even as mayor of London, he was best known for making a fool of himself (how many people genuinely looked at him back then and thought "he'd make a good prime minister"?).
I honestly don't understand how anyone of any political persuasion is STILL supporting him.
Well idk about the mayor of London thing but as a foreigner who find Uk politics attractive I knew there was something I didn’t like about that faction ousted Theresa May. It just seemed cold and callous.
However idk when he was mayor his image wasn’t to bad in term of policies. He promoted cycling in London through the “Boris Bikes” and new cycle lanes. He planned the ULEZ emissions zone. Oversaw the Olympics conversion plan. Expanded the Overground.
Although he did make his bridge and island gaffes. I think he did bring some good.
@@natenae8635 Yeah, I think almost anyone who was prime minister when Theresa May was would have struggled to come out of it well.
I don't know enough about all of the schemes that you mentioned to comment, but I'm pretty sure that Boris bikes were already on the table when he became mayor. He seems very good at promoting good ideas as his own and trying to hide the bad things (like the non-existent garden bridge and the definitely existent lockdown parties). Overall though I think he has got worse as he's moved up the political ladder - maybe something to do with more power or more to lose? If he'd called it a day after being London mayor, the general public's opinion of him would have probably been ok.
I know the monarchy is supposed to stay out of politics, but if her PM is found to have breached the Ministerial Code and he refuses to resign, is it at all possible that the Queen could step in and force Boris out?
How to make a TLDR UK video: slap Boris Johnson's face in the thumbnail and title it something like "IS BORIS FINALLY DONE THIS TIME??". Repeat weekly.
I don't understand why the Commons as a whole cannot do a vote of no confidence which also includes the opposition MPs. That is what is done in other countries when the government does shit
I believe there is a no confidence process where all MPs can vote but this, but its a separate thing more for hung parliaments where loosing it simply requires him to restructure his cabinet and consider possible coalitions. As opposed to the one we just had, which was for the conservative parties confidence in him as a party leader.
because Starmer knows he would fail to win over Tories, even those who voted against BoJo in the internal Tory party confidence vote. Holding the vote in vain would backfire badly on Starmer and might be his final act as leader.
People comparing May to Johnson, don't get it. Parliament was frozen under May, because the Conservatives were genuinely split on Brexit. The Tories aren't against Boris's policies, they're not even really against him. These MP's who all of a sudden have no confidence in him, only care about how things look to their electorate. In the next few months, they'll all be able to say...
"Well, I was disappointed by the way party gate was dealt with and I made that clear at the time but credit where it's due, Boris has really turned this around and I have to admit that I was wrong about him..."
They'll all be lined up saying how great he is by the next election.
Yeah he's so great after breaking the law numerous times. I'm 100% happy we have criminals in office running our country 👍
@@The101scientist He's a disaster but he's the Tory shield. Whilst the media are banging on about his bumbling idiocy, the Conservatives are packing people on boats and sending them to Rwanda. Laws to ensure our safety have been repealed, our freedoms and rights have been reduced.
The Conservatives have systematically destroyed the NHS but the media spend so much time focusing on Boris's blunders rather than the way the Conservatives are milking us dry. When the Boris shield is depleted, the Conservatives will find a new shield.
@@TheDandonian Well he surely has tarnished the tories but yeah I suppose he's a scapegoat for all these silly policies that have been introduced over the years. But yeah remember the age of ol saying, keep calm and carry on right?
6 months? No, please, thats way too long.
I would be happy for Johnson to stay if it means he drags down the Tories.
Problem is that the whole country is dragged down with him!
The latest that a general election could be called is December 2024.
If Johnson drags it out we could have another two and a half years of this shambles and the damage it will cause.
Is there a vote winning potential successor? Gove? Hunt? Patel? Sunak? Truss? Labour should fear none of these, and the sooner BoJo the clown goes the better for the country.
@@wakaisgood _"Boris Johnson protected our democracy"_
Boris Johnson is the Nero of the British commonwealth.
You feel you've never had it so good with the the inequality, but the more you stand on the nation's suffering to stay afloat, the more the nation buckles under you.
Your nationalist attitude is the instrument of your downfall. (I can't hope to change your mind - emotions and prejudices don't work that way - I just want you to feel the existential horror we're feeling as the country rots.)
@@MegaKapo12 _"whole country is dragged down with him!"_ -
Or maybe the country has gone so far Right, that this is "nature's way" of self-isolating from the rest of the world.
Doesn't matter, damage already done
However long he remains at number 10 is far too long. He has to go now.
It's like I said in the previous video,.
Johnson is aiming to stick to the bitter end like Major did in 1997 and we all know what happened next...
Major only won with a majority of 21,and that was whittled away entirely before the 1997 election. Boris won with a majority of 80.
Imagine if Johnson was having an affair, and that is what ultimately causes him to resign.
You mean "imagine if Johnson is caught having an affair"?
That was a great ad. I watched to the end and laughed when it ended just before your opinion on Brexit
hey this is just something personal i guess and not related directly to the content of your videos. But i want to advice you to mix the sound differently its way to loud and actually on a good hifi system u can clearly hear that its not crisp. ( this is something that also is true for the music industry but people on youtube dont see to be aware)only bring it up because your deff louder by default then others wich means you basically can be heard across my street everytime i click one of your vids wich happens quite often.
Well he lost both
Always love the content.
However...
It's bearing in mind not "baring" :-)
I wouldn’t count him out just yet… I wouldn’t be surprised if he lasts until the next election…
I would. 97% of Scottish MPs want him gone and 66% of MPs in general want him gone. He can't govern
@@jacobite2353 And yet here we are… Still… Also since when does the Conservative Party care about what Scotland thinks? 😂
@@jacobite2353 but its still up to him to leave now. apparently he even threatened a snap election if they try to get rid of him
I've got a feeling that he may well insist on staying. I just hope that it's offputting enough, and people don't get all excited about promises of 40 new (imaginary) hospitals or somesuch
@@jacobite2353 isn’t the SNPs hole thing about hating the UK?
Johnson has re written the ministerial code but I'm not sure if it has yet been implemented in it's new form?
He won’t go. He’s too power hungry
Bye bye Boris
In the US well here in Texas at least the people here see Boris Johnson as a visionary and great leader on par with Churchill. I find it as a shock to see yall hate him so much. Definitely gotta get out more lol
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's gone
Fantastic news! Joy! Let's finally get BoJo out with a kick in the arse, like he so much deserves!
a kick everywhere else as well.
@@simontay4851 Right you are, Simon! ;o)
Isn't it a possibility that the House of Commons might vote on a motion of no confidence against the government
I am sure Starmer Is considering whether or not to put down such a vote of confidence. If even half of the 41% supported it, Johnson would be gone. Question is will they vote confidence in a man as PM in whom they have no confidence as leader. That is a risk but perhaps the bigger question is whether Labour would prefer a wounded Johnson as a hobbled leader or an alternative, as yet unknown one.
He needs to go
Theresa may would of been better to have over covid not boris
Lol
Can you go more than 1 line without an edit? All the jump edits are highly irritating and amateurish.
Oh my god, I dare not trust a hope, but, Boris Johnson leaving in six months would be a Christmas present to all Britain.

Parliament should change the rules from 'he/she should resign' to 'his/her position is terminated' and if he/she still refuses to leave their job, they should be arrested and prosecuted for contempt of parliament and treason. Otherwise, we have a dictatorship.
100 percent after this fiasco. This should be an amendment put into parliament.
lets face it, we need a proper written constitution rather than expectations that depending on someone acting honourably. The ministerial code should be part of that.
the whole system has shown its not fit for purpose. rip it all down and replace with something that benefits the people not the tories,
Although threatening to jail one's political opponents is also a common theme across dictatorships.
The UK has constructed a set of checks and balances that don't actually exist, enshrining into law a suggestion is worthless in a nation where anyone can suggest anything. All these shoulds, woulds and coulds are just pretending that there's real limitations on power when there aren't.
The UK's Prime Minister is one of the few executives that can technically declare war (including military action that is tantamount to war) without a formal vote by democratically elected representatives. The rules only allow them to debate the matter but that's redundant, Parliament can debate almost anything they like.
The main difference is that May recognised that she cannot govern without the support of her MPs.
Boris on the other hand doesn't care. He obviously doesn't want to govern, he just like having "Prime Minister" before his name, and nothing else. Not having support in his party makes little difference for that. He will never relinquish power on his own.
I knew that but he needs ousted out from his people ..Im no tory as do not like anything about them but its time Scotland gained indie and im sure they shall in time as i see younger generation more so all for it and hey rightly so
as it would become Scotland the richest small country in the World in time .

Just watched this now and how wrong were they??? 3 weeks not 6 months 😂
There is another way - if Boris Johnson is suspended from the House for more than 14 days by the privileges committee, then the Recall of MPs Act would kick in, and if 10% of his constituents chose to recall him, he’d be forced to stand in his own by-election, which could remove him from the Commons. Though this would be pretty unprecedented.
Well damn. He didn’t last a month.
A key difference between the UK and the US is that in America, lying to Congress isn't a resigning offence, it's a crime which people can and do go to prison for.
Very few people get charged for it
Lying before a committee of the House of Commons while under oath is perjury as well. Those who lie before Congress almost always do so before one of their committees while being sworn. Johnson shows up each sitting week, not under oath, as a general member giving statements which are openly partisan like in the PMQs and up for political interpretation, and also bear in mind that British courts have even less authority to rule on what Americans would call political questions than American courts do.
This video aged like milk. He only lasted 3 weeks.
The one issue I have with parliament is that every wrongdoing inevitably leads to "the minister will be expected to resign". Why is there no route that enables ministers to essentially be sacked, because we know Johnson will never choose to resign, even if he is expected to...
DITTO in America.
It's an elective dictatorship
Pm means Prime minister, not the party minister. He should have resigned a long time ago.
Yawn
I thought Boris changed the ministerial code, so they wouldn't need to resign just apologise.
he did, but he had already broken it and should have resigned there and then, hes broken the code by staying there and then changing the code.
He did that for his staff to shield them from the fallout of Partygate. It's about as blatant an example of corruption an nepotism as you're gonna get.
if he ever knows what a real apology is and what it means!
"I don't apologise, I'm sorry but that's just the way I am" Homer Simpson aka Boris
No that's bullshit.

Waste of money - Brexit Boris would somehow turn them into drinking game paraphernalia.
boris ignoring the houses honour codes is a lot scarier than anyone may like to think about. when the honour codes of ancient rome broke down it didn't take long for violence to take over and civil wars to gut the republic

Especially so since the UK's system is held together by codes of conduct and traditions rather than rules with punishments and checks and balances
@@AB-gw6uf There's a lot of History books, documentaries and videos on the fall of the Roman Republic (which eerily mirrors modern politics) so there's plenty of material to read up on.

For a book, try "The Cambridge Ancient History Volume 9 The Last Age of the Roman Republic 146 43 BC".

If the committee suspend him for ten days or more he can be recalled and face a bye election in Uxbridge which he will inevitably lose.
@Uri Ljlko bot
The question is, will the committee suspend him? Plenty of skeletons in cupboards for ... influence on their decision, I'm sure.
Exactly this. I can't see how he'll survive the PC, since it's not a panel of Johnsonites. Given Owen Patterson, how can they not suspend him for 10 days+? Phil from A Different Bias has been pushing this point for a while now. But then, how many times have I said "I can't see how he'll survive..."?
@Uri Ljlko we do wish, that's the whole point 😂😂
Has the PM ever lost an election for his own seat in the near 300 year history of the post?
6 months turns out to be an over optimistic prediction.
6 months turned out to be 3 weeks.
If the Privileges Committee find him to have lied, they will recommend a minimum 10 day suspension. Then that gets put to a vote in the Commons. If he loses the vote, it triggers a recall in his constituency.
Imagine if he loses to labour, or worse (Better) to the greens
@@LillyP-xs5qe its 30 day minimum not 10 and that automatically triggers the by-election even without the vote in HOC
How does a number of days' suspension from the HOC automatically trigger a by-election? Wouldn't the Deputy PM just stand in during that time?
@@BenCG yeah, you'd think the point of suspension as opposed to expulsion is that the guilty party is coming back. Assuming he cant contest his own bi election?
@@LillyP-xs5qe How about he looses to both?
So, if the committee does determine Boris was lying, does Ian Blackford get an apology when he was ejected for telling the truth?
No. For it is still seen as appropriate to eject someone for calling an obvious liar, a liar even after they've been found to have lied (except in very limited circumstances).
If the speaker had integrity he would apologise to Blackford but we will not because instead of moderating PMQ and calling on the PM to show respect by actually answering questions he enables the PM to get away with waffling.
No because Ian Blackford is a massive knob
He has'nt once told the truth
He won't leave. The tories are too power hungry. They will cling on for as long as possible.

It's time for boris to go, as time goes, his strings are gradually showing.
gradually? you can see them more clearly than a thunderbird.
Boris Johnson is a human being with his own agency. Calling him a puppet of someone else weirdly lets him off the hook for his terrible leadership.
... always thought that was hair 🤣
🤣
More-like, he never should have been made PM in the first place.
Boris will not resign, he will need to be dragged out kicking and screaming by the voters.
The only way to do that reliably is to fund and support a group of independent conservative politicians at the grass roots level to go up against the Tories in key traditionally conservative seats.
This allows voters who hold conservative values to show their disgust at Boris whilst still voting for MPs who share their values and who will vote in the interests of the constituents rather then the interests of the party.
This is effectively what happened in Australia and how we managed to remove a deeply unpopular prime minister and even less popular deputy prime minister.
I have a bad back but I'd like to volunteer to do the dragging
We already have a conservative alternative party to stand up against the Tories. Starmer runs it. For now...
Johnson is Labor's best asset.
the Teal seats are tea sipping liberal activists mate they are hardly conservative its the Urban elite who drives Teslas and claims to be the savior of poor and disadvantaged people. Rules for thee but not for me. these Teal seats are hardcore left wing equivalent to California’s San Fransisco. the Liberal coalition in Australia represents Working class constituencies In Australia in which labor won zero working class constituencies only the Migrant areas and white liberal seats. the point is the white working class is disillusioned with White rich liberals.
Literally everyone: Boris, there is an almost infinitly long list of reasons why you should resign.
Boris: Nah, I'm good mate.
I want Johnson to stay as long as possible. He is a great vote winner for Irish reunification and Scottish independence. I want him to be able to deliver on this.
@@minsapint8007 He's also given the golden ticket for a Labour-led decade with his handling of things

The whole thing was a hoax
@@johndouglas5712 yeah, course it was 🙄🤦🏻♀️
4:20 just a small nitpicky point, but I swear the term 'Blue wall' used to be a term describing a certain type of Conservative seat i.e. younger, voted remain, wealthy commuter belt, higher proportion of graduates, all of which made for fertile territory for political realignment. Now the term seems to be loosely applied to any safe Conservative seat, including places like North Shropshire and now Tiverton & Honiton which don't fit any of those criteria. We wouldn't use 'Red wall' to describe safe Labour seats in central London, but 'Blue wall' seems to mean just about any Conservative-held seat these days.
A nitpicky point back: looking at North Shrops result and likely one in Tiverton perhaps the Blue Wall and the definition thereof has expanded somewhat… and the definition “safe Tory seat” has diminished in proportion.
Thanks for this, I love a reasonable argument! Just a little thing (I'm a grammar badger) If you carry an idea with you, you are "bearing it in mind" like the right to "bear arms", refers to carrying arms. It's not a right to "Bare arms" that's a different thing entirely.
The right to bear arms means the right to form a militia, at least thats how it was understood by the American legal system from 1788-2008. I think the grammar point is still correct just a contentious example.
I'm actually glad you highlighted this!
I used to think each time whether to bear something in mind or bare something in mind. The following helped me
*Bare means naked, but to bear is to carry something.* A bear is also a brown furry animal, but most people keep that one straight. If you can't bear to remember it all, just imagine a lumbering grizzly carrying a heavy load, and you'll bear this knowledge with glee! If a bear bares his teeth, though, run!

This aged unexpectedly well
Boris has been clinging to power like shit to a blanket, I think its time for a wash...
Like the Italian who went to Malta and tried to speak English, I want two piss (sic pieces) [of toast], a fok (sic fork) on the table and a shit (sic sheet) on the bed. To which the reply was respectively; you go to the toilet to piss, everybody wanna fok but not on the table and you get out of the hotel!
But is Johnson's case comparable to May's? When she faced withdrawal of support, Jahnson was her natural successor. Now, there is no natural successor
Johnson being her "natural successor" only became clear when May was about to resign. They'll find a replacement if they want him out
So it's better to be stuck with the greasy tub of custard? Nah - that's not a valid point
@@dp8739. well I didn’t state what I want, but how likely I think it is, that Johnson will get replaced soon. It seems like there is no conservative, who wants to replace her. Or am I wrong? In the ides of may, many conservatives advocated for Johnson to succeed her. No there’s no similar natural successor
Moreover, her party was divided on how to manage Brexit and could not get a bill through Parliament. Boris has yet to face a mutiny in the Commons. I bet he will be careful to avoid one.
Nobody from his wing at least. Bringing Hammond in would be a blow. Need another Sunak or for Sunak to return to popularity
Look, I'm a leftie and I hate Johnson, but please stop uploading these videos about how Johnson is on his way out. It's pure speculation. And yes, some speculation is good. But this channel is getting overrun with wishful thinking. Please report more news and less speculation about Johnson going.
we have to all hope that the Queens health remains good for the next couple of years
What a waste. Perhaps it's the life of privilege that causes it but, although in some cases also tragedies, Boris has had at least 3 opportunities to be remembered for greatness: BREXIT, COVID and Ukraine. Instead, unlike us ordinary folk, apparently uninterested in his track record/CV, he chooses instead to be remembered for idiotic rule breaking, parties, being convicted in office, possibly deliberately misleading the house etc etc etc and, winning the confidence vote in spite of it all. I was a conservative voter for decades but, never again.
I’m not sure Boris fully understands what the problem is and what he’s done wrong, so it’ll be unlikely that he’ll do anything differently in the future. He’s gone his whole life doing whatever he wants with very little consequence.
well if he continues to pay his child support, he will be remembered by at least 7 of this children even though his ex wives and mistresses will try to forget.
All Tories are like this. He’s just blatant.
I do not think he will want to be remembered for partygate and as the first PM found to have broken the law in office. Just like the US republicans after the lie of WMD, that Tony Blair promoted, was exposed and changed the narrative to ‘well it was a good thing to get rid of Saddam [despite his having nothing to do with 9/11], Boris will have as a narrative he got Brexit and breakfast done and led the world in supporting Ukraine. If in the next 18 months he actually achieves something, I can see him getting another term and resigning midway through it.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Another video with the line ‘you get the idea’ in it. Please get a new scriptwriter. Videos are so samey now

Question: Why isn't tory mps initiating a vote of no-confidence in the commons, instead of within the party, to oust Johnson by pairing up with the opposition mps being considered as an option? That way the 1922 committee's 12 month rule stays unchanged.
that would trigger a general election(which the Tories would likely lose) and wouldn't necessarily remove Boris as their party leader
Because that's wayyy more damaging to the party than an internal confidence vote. It's not clear at all what's worse for them: to keep him a bit longer or to basically ask/beg the opposition for help to remove their own PM.
@@theacetator8842 you sure about that? They are not voting to dissolve the parliament. A new pm, with confidence from parliament, is supposed to take over, no?
It may well happen but not until after the Privileges Committee has released their findings. It's probably more likely it will be instigated by a member of one of the opposition parties but that shouldn't make any difference.
However, there's another interesting possibility. As somebody else has already mentioned, if Johnson is found guilty of deliberately misleading the house, he will be suspended for ten days or more. This means he will be recalled if 10% of his constituency demands it and we can be fairly sure that'll happen. This again means Johnson will no longer be a member of the parliament. As far as I know, the UK has never before had a prime minister who was neither an MP or a member of the House of Lords.
@@istiakakib7056 There's nobody obvious who could take over with a majority of parliament
"Baring" in mind, huh? That was a brave choice in the spelling world.
Wotteva happens now he’s coat is on a very sugary peg …
Complex reaction
Boris is like the Royal family they get à way with anything
Bojo goin’ bye-bye
He's not so great now...
He's a bit of a idiot
But is Keir Starmwr really credible enough to win and be an alternative prime minister?
How is it democratic is he can simply refuse or rewrite legislation?
Boris Johnson get Brexit done and get rid of the protocol and you will be are hero 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I honestly don't see him resigning
Bojo will never be unseated!
Not sure he has quite 6 months.
Poor Ed Milliband is still causing chaos 10 years later
that bacon butty eh?
Are you referring to Ed Milliband being the cause of the disastrous state of current affairs? If so, I love this. I'm often telling people that this all Ed's fault.
@@adskee69 It's obviously a joke
@@alexpotts6520 How so?
I'm not up to date on the ed milliband law, what did he do?
I first took an interest in politics in the early 1980s. A lot was happening then, including the formation of the Social Democrat Party. The SDP broke away from Labour and went on to merge with the Liberals to form the Liberal Democrats. I think the situation in 2022 is ripe for a "Conservative SDP".
There "ideological space" for one: moderate, reality-based Conservativism is out of favour in today's Conservative Party and there's a fair number of moderate Conservative's outside the party now. Some joined ChangeUK like Anna Soubry, and others were expelled like Dominic Grieve. Major players like that could lead a new party. Yet for reasons I don't understand, nothing happens.
I blame first past the post for that, splitting the conservative vote into 2 right-leaning parties, but with slightly different policies, only harms chances of the conservative bloc getting back into power. The most extreme case of this is in the US with the third most popular party only getting 2% of the popular vote out of how terribly the system is set up against more than 2 parties
Australia on the other hand uses the Alternate Vote, which allows parties to be ranked in order of preference, and it heavily incentivises independents and minor parties gaining seats
What amazes me, it’s not the fact that Johnson is a compulsive liar and that his voters and his party Accept him as such but the fact that these people are prepared to go on TV and tell blatant lies for him
I think its safe to say he will never resign.
maybe we are happy, and a meteor hits Westminster at the right time!
@@Arltratlo Ha ha! :D "Lucky" more-like. But "happy" is valid. :D
I would like to. Good prime minister.
*bearing in mind...
Tax cuts to combat the tax raise he said he would never do. 🤣
And you believed him ? 😆
In your dreams🤣
Seven seconds Bo Jo.
In my view because BJ lies so much he has no value as a politician, or as a person as well.
Old long Johnson.
Why is he still in power ? He literally lied and basically said he’s above the law by having parties while everyone else had to stay home

If the Privileges Committee reaches a finding that Boris Johnson lied to Parliament, they will recommend a suspension of no less than 10 days. While Tory MPs could reject such a suspension, that is unlikely, since it would have been less damaging to simply not allow the Privileges Committee to investigate at all. Assuming, as is likely, that Johnson is suspended for more than 10 days, he will face a recall petition, which needs the signature only 10 percent of his constituents, which figure will be met. At that point, Johnson will no longer be a member of Parliament, although he would still be Prime Minister. Surely, Tories would look to get rid of Johnson at that time, however, Johnson does have the power to call a snap election.
We should all "bar" in mind.
You'd think native English speakers could do a better job proof reading. 🙄
He will never resign though.
Is the DUP socialist on social security benefits yes. They support a Welfare state in Northern Ireland politically Thomas. You need England London Britain to rejoin the EU Art Bezrukavenko Thomas do that he in Holland Amsterdam Netherlands.
