I think Boris could get 100 MPs, bearing in mind at least 150 are there because of him.

But I would be surprised if he did come back, even if it did bring a smile back to my face.

currently SUnak 83

Johnson 42

Pm4PM 21

I think it is unlikely BoJo will pick up 58 or more over the weekend so I still think it will be a straight coronation without a membership vote

You don't think the other 200+ Tory MPs will back either Johnson or Mordent? Johnson is returning early from his holiday, do you think he is doing this to tell people he doesn't have enough support to run? He could have done that from the Dominion Republic.

Boris will get more than a hundred.

If it goes to the membership Boris will beat Rishi.

Whether that's a good or a bad thing only time will tell.

But if we go outside the echo chambers most people live in at the moment, I think after the next election either Starmer will be PM or Boris will.

If Boris gets over the 100 I don't think there will be a member vote. I think Rishi wont put his name forward. He wont want to come second again.

And Rishi throws his hat in the ring, again.

So now we know there will be no Boris/ Rishi sweetheart deal. Will Penny be in for a pound?

Anyone who thinks that Rishi will get more Tory MPs elected than Boris is quite simply wrong.

Boris might be a number of things, but no one can accuse him of being a bad electioneer.

you are of course assuming he won't get suspended in November nor a recall made by his constituency there is a possibility he may no longer be an MP by Christmas :wink:

remember he has to go before the standards committee which might result in a suspension from the commons and if that happens his constituency can recall him triggering a by election :wink:



anyhow tis an irrelevance as we have a straight coronation of Rishi Sunak as i predicted :wink:

Rushi has said the Tory Party needs to unite or die.

https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk- ... te-or-die/

This makes sense, but who has caused this mess?

Boris to a degree, Truss to a degree, but the biggest problem the Tory party has is its MPs. They have caused most of this mess.

the "mess" is quite simply the MP's feeling they need to fix elections to get their favourite rather than allow a more democratic process to occur ? this has been going on ever since Cameron and Osbourne left and none of the leaders chosen has been particularly successful

it's all about money and helping your mates (party donors) out; doing what's right for the country or actually taking advice from experts is a secondary consideration
