Indeed, it'll just be the Parliamentary party meaning he can't even claim to have the support of the party membership, never mind the country as a whole.
Anyone in that position, will have zero authority from the get go.
Boris got rid of quite a few that is true but not all. As it stands two remainers hold the top two positions in government after Truss's resignation. There are still plenty of other moderates (by Tory standards) in the party people like Mourdant, Tugendhat and Wallace. The Tory right are correct when they complain that they've lost control, at least for now.
I think it's arguable that he has less of a mandate. Truss came in a ripped up the manifesto that Boris was elected on and implemented something diametrically oppossed to it. Sunak at least was Boris's chancellor implementing that 2019 manifesto. Neither of them have/had a satisfactory mandate though, at least in the spirit of the British political system.
It's inevitablethat we get one soon. No leader they appoint will fare any better than Truss. Their party is totally broken and divided.
I thought there might be something else. I personally think that crime is not severe or recent enough for it to have much of an impact on Tory MPs though. Could be wrong but if he's in the running, surely he has a very good chance.
Probably, but they're in a lose lose situation anyway. If they let this linger on for two more years, they'll eventually lose an election from which they may never recover from. Spending some time in opposition and letting Labour take the reins during tumultous times while they lick their wounds and regroup might be their best chance at staying relevant in the future. They're also currently sitting on a healthy majority, so there's always the hope that with the help of the press' inevitable hatchet job for Starmer coupled to the shy Tory voting effect, they might just hang on, thereby prolonging their 'mandate'.
Pretty sure Liz ain't one of them. The lizard people decided her fate after ritualistically drinking the fresh blood from a low skilled worker last night.
The Just Stop Oil protests have been in direct response to Truss's policies on fossil fuel extraction.
Which is not a recordable criminal offence.... Because it's a fpn like a speeding ticket
There won't be an election. Most of the 'sensible' tories with at least a twisted view of doing right by your country were ousted in 2019. If the majority was single figures then it would be a possibility. But not with the current make-up. Don't get your hopes up.
But there was an election while BJ was there. We'll have had 2 new PMs without them getting the mandate of the people.
Stop right there criminal scum!
A crime is a crime, and he is a known criminal, so is Boris, no way should either be able to become PM.
A person found to have broken the law, shouldn't be able to write that law.
And fair play to them. All 6 or so of them.
Yeah a GE right now would be suicidal for the Tories.
It is still breaking the law, and once you break the law, you are forever a criminal.
It's raining out there.
Apart from the fact criminal records expire.....
He'll be straight into Rishi's cabinet, maybe even in his current position
David Blaine lived in a box above the Thames longer than Truss managed in Number 10.
There is a reason the UK has the reputation of being a bone idle nation.
They should have to. I know they wont.
All about Big Ben Wallace
So anybody who litters.... has a parking ticket... goes 1mph over the limit... drinks under 18 smokes s joint.... yeah if that's the expectation of people who go into politics we are gonna end up with an even stranger bunch of leaders
What a shitshow all this has been.
Depends how many are on the ballot but i suspect if there is 3 or more Boris is pretty much untouchable in that poll
Is this country more or less being run by Graham Brady?
More or less.
Not disputing that.
Morally you could make the case that it was different from other FPNs, not least because members of the public got fined thousands for doing similar, and the hypocrisy to boot. But that is a political argument rather than a matter of legal disqualification and one I expect Labour to deploy daily if Sunak is picked.
So they are involving Members? WTF! after their decision last time, how can they even be trusted again! Just call an election!
Yep, he's such a smarmy cnut. Loves the attention.
But what if they lose that election? That's just a chance they cannot afford to take.
