Does anyone on here want Boris as PM?

[Bartelby]

Not just for the
LOLz....

He plays the clown for a reason. He’s intelligent, amoral and conniving. Heaven help us if he becomes PM.

Fuck no

Nope

I think boris as pm would expediate Scottish independence. His persona is totally against the Scottish psyche

Hell no🤢

But neither do I want any of the other options. It's a shambles

The USA has Trump, we will get Boris. It seems inevitable. I don't think he will last 5 mins though as he will totally f-ck things up and alienate colleague pretty quickly and then get bored.

Or maybe he will stay PM until he dies. I'm sure Trump is gonna wipe the floor with a second term.

You honestly couldn't make it up.

Nope.
I know something is a bad idea when I think Gove might do a better job.

Hell...and I can’t say this enough...no

Oh God no.

You could ask Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe? Oh wait no you can’t, she’s still in prison

Yes definitely. He seems to have more of a backbone than TM and hopefully will deliver the brexit that we (the majority) voted for in the referendum.

He may be intelligent by some standards but sadly it's not the sort of intelligence required to run a country. He isn't a man of the people type in any way. I can't relate to him and think only a very narrow tranche of the population would be able to - so he'd be a poor choice indeed.

no, can't bear the thought of that awful man running the country.

Whatever you may think of Theresa May, at least she was not trying to further her own political career, she believed in what she was doing

Boris just wants whatever is best for Boris.

And I listened with horror yesterday as a commentator said that lots of Tories like Gove for what he did to education WHAT the man who screwed over all our schools?????

Hell no, I can't get the image of him dad dancing like a loon at a gig we were at.

He plays the clown for a reason. He’s intelligent, amoral and conniving.

^ this exactly

It’s like watching a slow car crash happening but being unable to do anything about it.

As a Tory voter this is what I think of the candidates:

Boris Johnson - absolutely not
Michael Gove - no - too much baggage
Matt Hancock - possible
Jeremy Hunt - probably not
Andrea Leadsom - no
Esther McVey - no - just no
Dominic Raab - definite possible
Rory Stewart - no
Sir Graham Brady - possible
Sajid Javid - maybe
Penny Mordaunt - no
Priti Patel - probably not
Liz Truss - probably not
Steve Baker - maybe

I'm intrigued that Jacob Rees Mogg is nowhere to be seen.

@cardi what I mean by the trump thing is that both he and bj are outgoing, arrogant, men at the top of their game who think they know it all. I know trump is awful in so many ways but he’s not nuked anyone ( yet) which is what horrendous situation I thought he could have generated. I do think bj is brighter than trump as trump is openly manipulative.

I did a teacher training course with a guy who was charismatic and funny and thought that meant he could get away with not learning any
of the actual content.

We had to plan and deliver training sessions to each other as part of the course, and at first it was fine as people warmed to him quickly and he was entertaining, but after a couple of days his laziness and incompetence were evident. It would be horrendous to have someone like this as PM. Boris is that person.

Definitely not. The one thing more dangerous than an actual idiot in charge is a clever and completely unprincipled man pretending to be an idiot.

He plays the clown for a reason. He’s intelligent, amoral and conniving.

He's really not intelligent! Look at what he said about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. Or hear him being challenged by any journalist on a serious point. If he can't make a joke to get out of having to answer something, he flounders. He's incompetent.

There was a lady at yoga this week who was telling us that BJ is dating her niece. Let’s just say, this woman would make Melanie Trump look like a grandmother by age comparison,

Obviously, I can’t confirm this, but I really can’t imagine why she wouid make it up.

I notice he’s trying to speed his divorce through?

What makes Dominic Raab, the man who was stunned to discover we were dependent on the port of Dover, possible?

No, definitely not !

No to Bojo. He has a high IQ, is academically brilliant and would be highly popular as a Professor where his eccentricities would be tolerated. Was it Amber Rudd who commented that he would be highly entertaining at a party but you wouldn't want him driving you home afterwards.

I don't think his temperament qualifies him as PM. I also think Rory Stewart might be the surprise choice here.

While I don't think Bojo's gaffe re Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe has had any affect on her detention I think it was a disgraceful failure by a Minister In his situation. We all now recognise that dual British Iranian citizens have little or no protection from the UK when in Iran.
