To wonder how you feel today if you voted for Boris Johnson at the last election?

[Readyforthegoodlife]

It’s absolutely no surprise that Boris is behaving in this way but I cannot actually believe that we have a prime minister like this. He is utterly morally bankrupt. If you voted for him how do you feel now?

A lot better than I would have felt if I'd voted for the alternatives.

At least I'm still allowed to call myself 'woman'.

I vote for my local mp and for the party, not for a specific prime minister, because they come and go.

I think see @HufflepuffPride 's post @Inastatus ! The red wall seats at least won't stand for this. Particularly now Corbyn isn't the leader of the labour party anymore and we've seen what riches Brexit has delivered. And even if you don't think so, having spoken to people overseas, Boris is, quite frankly, a laughing stock.

“I think Boris should resign but I think we would be in a different but worse mess now if we had Jeremy Corbyn as PM”

How, precisely, would we have been worse off?

I assume hug an IRA member Fridays would have become law in office. We would also have a PM who wears dirty tweed, and forces us to be communists or something. Starting children would also be force fed food.
Worst of all we would have a PM without a catchy slogan. Can you imagine the carnage without a slogan.

Allthingsservethebeam - I can never understand people that say you should feel ashamed for something that someone else has done. You can't control what other people do, and where does that way of thinking end.

Lifelong Tory voter, Boris should go,

I can't never understand how anyone could vote Tory and to say they'd vote for him again?!?! That is an action that the posters are making. No one is making them vote for the scum.

I aren't trying to control anything. But I am allowed to feel disgusted by these people

Can never*

I've voted for the three main parties over the years. I voted Conservative at the last general election and would do so again. Like someone else said, I'm not particularly bothered that people who saw each other at work saw each other outside of work and drank wine together.

@Seb342

I voted conservative and feel fine. In my local area everyone was breaking lockdown rules daily and I'd arrive home from work and they'd all be sat outside drinking wine and happily living the furlough life. I've broken lockdown rules myself and have no regrets about it, if I could go to work with hundreds of people then I was sure to visit my elderly family members who lived alone to check on them and I'm not sorry I did.

The same neighbours that were having lockdown garden parties everyday are very vocal about their disgust at Boris, seems people have very short and selective memories when it comes to their own rule breaking.

I was dealing with a 5yo autistic child who could not understand why his entire outside support network, his therapies, his education, his routines, had been stripped away from him. I was patching huge tears in wallpaper where he took to ripping our house apart in frustration. I was acting as his human punch bag for a hundred frustrations: why couldn't he see his grandad? Why couldn't he go on the slide in his favourite playground? Why was the cafe seating area taped up?

And you were having lovely wine-ups with your mates, paying no heed to real public health risks and choosing to look after numero uno, like the selfish Tory you are.

Neither am i unless theres a bloody law against it 🤦‍♀️

@squashyhat

Are you only interested in the views of the constituents of Uxbridge and South Ruislip? Because they are the only people who could have voted either for or against him. If you mean those who voted for whichever Tory candidate stood in their constituency, that has no bearing on who is Prime Minister. HTH.

I don't think that's exactly true in this case.

I genuinely couldn’t care less if people had parties in lockdown, all my neighbours were. I voted conservative because of the policies and would do again. I’d have voted for Jeremy Corbyn and his polices over my dead body.

@StormzyinaTCup

Floating voter here but did vote Tory last time (and the previous). If we had an election tomorrow there is no person that I can think of from any party that I'd look at and say I would want them to run the country, I'm in conservative stronghold area and I'm not sure that's ever going to change so, I probably wouldn't bother voting at all.

Regarding Corbyn I expect he is jolly grateful now not to have a won the GE, the media would have ripped him apart over the pandemic antics of his brother.

My area was a Tory stronghold and it went to Lib Dem last time. Same in Amersham. Anything can happen if vote it.

I really cannot understand how people can say they don't care that Johnson and Co had parties in lockdown. People were dying alone, giving birth alone. They were waving through windows. People didn't say goodbye to their loved ones. And the people who lead us were partying?! You really should care. It's just immoral what they did.

And that's even aside from all the lying. How can you trust a prime minister who lies? Who throws his colleagues and others under a bus.

Whatever your politics, you really should care about this.

Because they voted Tory in the first place.

Frankly, I would imagine being in the cabinet during a global pandemic was a stressful and difficult environment, and some of them had a drink or two after work... and probably having spent the day in an office space together. I'm finding the witch hunt tiring and bordering on a bit pathetic to be honest. I admit to breaking lockdown rules especially with family members and all that "bubble" bollocks. People are obsessive about "the rules" and I can't get my head around it.

Please don’t call him Boris— it implies he’s some kind of cuddly honey monster— he is no such thing— he is a maniuplative entitled berk whilst convincing people that he wouldn’t give the shit off his shoe to that he cares!!

More stressful than nurses and doctors? Teachers? They weren’t allowed in staff rooms!

I hate how he’s behaved but I’m still totally comfortable that I voted for him. It was always clear he was morally bankrupt but I still think he’s better than Corbyn - I would have voted for almost anyone to avoid a Corbyn government.

That said, if there was an election tomorrow I would vote Labour - if I can stomach their manifesto - or not vote if the Labour manifesto is bad. Starmer isn’t inspiring and his politics don’t match mine but I at least think he seems like a good man.

I feel fine. I hope he doesn't resign. Know plenty who feel the same but would be too scared to say it out loud due to general perception of people who support the government.

Let’s just say I’m glad it’s anonymous on mumsnet, because there really are some entitled selfish people on here , who clearly have very low expectations of public office.

I have never voted Conservative, I'm just pleased that Theresa May found her spine today & called Boris out for misleading parliament. I would rather have her as PM than BJ.

I don't have a dog in this fight as I live in NZ and can no longer vote in UK elections but it seems pretty clear to me that Johnson or Corbyn was a pretty rotten choice - the worst of my lifetime.

In the run up to the 2019 election it seemed to me that the front benches of both three Tories and Labour had never been so weak. There just seemed to be a lot of people without the experience and character needed to run a country and I include Johnson and Corbyn in that for different reasons.

Do people believe that swearing at people will change their voting intention?

I'm not convinced it's a winning strategy.
