His party voted him out, but now they want him back? Could it really happen?

He has the 100 votes. If he chooses to stand the members will vote him in imo.

WeAreTheHeroes · 22/10/2022 15:17

Not in world where politicians have integrity.

ofwarren · 22/10/2022 15:18

If it's true he has the 100 then I think he will get voted back in. All the member polls I've seen put him way ahead of Sunak.

Mylittlesandwich · 22/10/2022 15:19

Well this is depressing.

balalake · 22/10/2022 15:23

Sadly yes if 100 Tory MPs and then the party membership (or those people who vote online including the registered tortoise) want it.

What a fucking unbelievable nightmare!

Waveacrossabay · 22/10/2022 15:28

It's so undemocratic

A campaign source says he has but who are they?

I can't wait for the memes... Blush

At least he's got experience!

We need an election. Time the electorate are given their vote.

You just couldn't make it up. How out of touch are they?

He could be bluffing, trying to create some momentum

Atmywitsend29 · 22/10/2022 15:31

What a wonderful "democracy" this is.

miceonabranch · 22/10/2022 15:33

It's a total farce. He'll fuck up again and those who supported him will just end up looking like fools.

mumofgirl1 · 22/10/2022 15:35

It just shows what a laughing stock the uk is at the minute. They booted him out then 6 weeks later their rallying round for him to return.

TheHouseonHauntedHill · 22/10/2022 15:36

Agree it is very possibly bluff like trump! Think it ,say it, are it.

CactusFlowers · 22/10/2022 15:36

I bloody hope not. Useless, lazy, lying arse.

EnjoyingTheSilence · 22/10/2022 15:38

Fucking joke. Absolutely disgraceful and a real fuck you to the whole country if they vote him in

Greenshake · 22/10/2022 15:39

Yes, he could. It’s a bad situation however it pans out. In my view, best case scenario is some sort of Johnson Sunak deal, with a GE in the diary for Feb 2023.

PolkaDotMankini · 22/10/2022 15:41

The Tories are desperate to avoid an early General Election because right now, they'll be annihilated. Johnson's supporters reckon the best way to avoid it is to bring him back and argue that he 'has a mandate'.

If he returns, I'm going to stop watching the news. I can't bear it.

KonTikki · 22/10/2022 15:42

The only way to view this Tory imposed charade is to play the long game.
If Johnson returns as PM then better the chances of the Tories being consigned to oblivion at the next election.
And that thought makes me oh so happy.

TheHauntedPencilCase · 22/10/2022 15:44

Yes he could. I think he's bluffing at the moment as so few seem to have declared but it looks like Maudaunt will not get to 100 so it will be between BoJo and Rishi and sadly I think BoJo will win. With any luck though he might arrogantly take us to an early election and I think that's what I want, although tbh I'm not sure I trust the public vote either.

SummerBummers · 22/10/2022 15:47

If (and it’s a big if at this point!) he has the 100 mp votes needed then he’s as good as PM already.

The idiotic Party members won’t even consider someone else.
