We could be up and running with a new PM by now - can't believe how selfish he has been and how long its taken to get to this stage A Tory leadership campaign takes almost forever, if he'd gone a few weeks ago, you absiolutely would not have a new party leader yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can vote how you like with impunity surely? I'm guessing it's not all that secret and there's a lot of pressure to reveal which way you've gone.

They’re only following the lead of big dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I want Johnson to go but have people like Farage and Andrew Bridgen also want him out which makes me feel a bit confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Heath went from -98 to +30 in 1970 Haeold Wilson went from -100 to +4 in 1964 But closer to now Tony Blair went from -21 to +179 1997 Cameron went from -66 to +78 So it has happened but more importantly much bigger swings in numbers of seats have happenned and quite recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Plus the electoral is a lot more volatile now with people far more likely to switch parties between each election or even between local and national elections. We have a multi polar voting behaviour shoe-horned into a two party system- but that is a different story for another day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's not all that secret and there's a lot of pressure to reveal which way you've gone. It's quite telling that there are fairly large number of MPs who aren't declaring their intentions Also there may be some who publically state one thing for their constituents though actually voted the other way (on both sides of the debate) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can rule out Sunak at this stage, he got fined in Partygate. You can't have Johnson forced out and then vote in someone else who was fined. Well they could but they'd be mad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I just overheard someone “they’re all as bad as each other, I’d just leave him in place until someone better comes along” Yeah I agree, was the response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
