Prime Minister after Boris Johnson prediction

thor

Without a shadow of a doubt, Corbyn was the reason the Tories have got back in. I'm predicting that the Labour will realise this and dump JC(along with momentum) and that their new leader will also be the country's next prime minister after BJ when the result of brexit starts to dawn on the public in a few years time.

I think many people felt there was an overarching principle here: a majority had voted to leave, so that's what ought to happen. Anything else would be tinkering with democracy.

I believe it's what should happen, even though I voted remain.

The only person offering guaranteed Brexit was Johnson. That's why he kept repeating "Get Brexit done; " a trite message which worked.

I agree Labour weren't offering a credible alternative, but that was secondary, as was Johnson's deeply flawed personality.

Johnson only seems to have gotten 2-3% swing more than May and her results was considered a disaster.

Doesn't look like Johnson winning but rather Corbyn utterly losing with labor voters abandoning to all other parties

Also Brexit party helped the blues more than the reds and if garage the one man band outs his hand up or not for the next cycle is unknown


What do you expect when Corbynism message was one and only 'they Gona sell the NHS, the NHS they gonna sell it! It's not for sale vote to stop something that isn't happening!'

Momentum isnt going anywhere. Marxist politics are here to stay......

As for Boris. Stage is his. Jury's out .

I believe May got a good % share, but it just wasn't able to equate to many seats.

ETA?!?! Did you mean "E.g.?"

ETA means "Estimated Time of Arrival"
E.g. means "For example"

Tory party is now the Boris party. He can do what he wants with it.

Next PM after Boris is likely to be Boris such the mess Labour is in.

Really? I think he's just the figurehead; the people pulling his strings will do the deciding.

He's got a massive majority, he can take it further right or back to the centre, whatever he does he'll still have a comfortable majority. You can't get someone to do your bidding if it is he who holds all the cards.

Up to him. I call it the Boris party now because once Brexit is done then their is practically no manifesto pledges to fulfill. He's got a free run to do whatever he wants.
