I wonder if we will be onto our 5th PM in 6 years soon
Who would it be? What would they dredge up from the depths? Kwarteng and his Joker-like mannerisms?
If party polling holds true it would be Cincinnatus himself, begged to come back and save us all.
But in reality I don't think the Conservatives could force another PM on us without calling a General Election, or suffering the loss of a no confidence vote in the commons (which would trigger a GE anyway). Of course, that may be something they calculate they could win if they did bring Mr. Johnson back as party leader - many of them still believe.
Gosh I hope you're right! About them not forcing another PM on us, not the bit about getting Johnson back!
Did you see that the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of England are now criticising the government and stepping in to stop the economy completely crashing?
Apparently the IMF are a left wing, woke organisation, according to right wing commentators. Erm...The IMF??
I hope I'm right too. But a lot of Tory MPs must now be very frightened at the prospect of losing their seats (and their £85,000pa + expenses) at the next GE. Even if they've accepted that the party is toast for now, they'd all rather be in opposition than lose their jobs. If they thought that opposing the government's plans would let them keep their seat, I reckon they'd go for it now.
I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if this government ends in a commons vote of no confidence backed by all the opposition parties and 40 or so Conservative MPs. I'd also be quite happy about it.
