and apparently on twitter there is a thread where 2000 party members have pledged to quit in protest

it seems the grass roots membership want a bigger say in who they can vote for and to be honest that would be far more democratic

Boris was removed by around 50 (backstabbing) MP’s who, through a herd mentality series of resignations, were able to unseat our prime minister at a time of crisis, despite his record of winning millions of votes and without the formal approval of party members.

That is the Tory way.

I really like Boris, always have, but he is a chancer and sometimes chancers become unstuck.

But his wiff waff speech really made me laugh.

45 minutes of both candidates evading questions and spouting drivel I have had to switch it off

Are these two really the best on offer ? :roll:

In My opinion, no. Would you like to be taking on the job right now? I would give whoever wins a maximum of 2 years before they are out, possibly sooner if there is an early general election.

Of course nothing to do with waiting till they knew which one was likeliest to win and then making sure they were lined up for a cabinet post :lol:

We don’t know for sure who the next leader will be, but I would be amazed if either candidate is going to be chancellor of the exchequer.

If I was Liz I would ask them why they didn't support her from day 1.

but then if she didn't win they wouldn't be very popular with the eventual winner and might not get a nice juicy cabinet post :lol:

So the stewards have decided we need a rerun :roll:

anyone can stand as long as they can get 100 MP's to back them :-k


That might mean a straight coronation because I can't see 2 or 3 candidates getting that much backing

so what do you reckon Rishi the yank or a Boris comeback ?
