Prime Minister after Boris Johnson prediction

Mnd

The next prime minister after Mr Johnson is possibly not even an MP yet. They will be elected in 5 years, then 5 years later become the PM

Large new intake of fresh blood. New Ministerial faces in the coming years.

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.

So funny:)

I am betting that Labour will be in the wilderness for at least 10 years. Labour in recent years became a joke, but lets not forget that Tony Blair and Gordon were caught out in the end for the con artists they were. I even read today the Jess Philips is considering the top job, it does not get any funnier.

The trouble with the Tories in the last decade was that they loved hard working rich people, Cameron was the worst for that. If Boris can nurture hard working poor people as well like I suspect he wants to, then he is onto a winner. I think people are sick to death right now of minority group whinging and complaining at the expense of the quite hard working majority how pay for all their silly little whims and moans.. We all have our crosses to bare, it's about time we ended this over the top PC nanny state and home and look after people who WORK

Brilliant! Boris complaining about the Fixed term parliament act boxing him in. So he plans to scrap the FTPA and box himself in with a legal guarantee to leave the EU at the end of the year, no ifs, no buts The bank shares have had a couple of good days, that is finished now :cool: It is like Trump all over again.

IMO, the winner of the next general election will be the Conservatives. Probably with Boris in charge again.

There's too much ground to make up for Labour now. Even if they appointed someone credible like Keir Starmer (which in itself is difficult at present).

If Long-Bailey is appointed, Labour won't make any ground.

Keir Starmer may be "credible" compared to the Corbynites, but Labour aren't going to reclaim the northern heartlands by appointing the man who deliberately handed them to the Tories.

To be fair to Starmer, his position on Brexit will probably have been forgotten in 2024, just as Brexit itself will be. But his problem is that the Labour leadership election is not in 2024 but now. (Perhaps this is the advantage of US-style primaries, the party can appoint the person who looks best placed to win the upcoming election instead of whoever managed to look least bad in the previous defeat.)

Corbyn was leader. And anti-EU. The buck for the responsibility of lost seats in the North stops with him.

It's unlikely Labour would pick a Brexit-supporting leader to replace Corbyn. There are so few of them, and none of the right calibre for leadership (though all better than Corbyn).

Brexit might still be an issue in 2024. We don't yet know what life will be like outside of the EU. We've only got as far as voting for a withdrawal agreement.

It's likely irrelevant for the leadership election. The "northern-Brexiteers" that Corbyn likes to blame for his failure are not the same as the cohort that will be appointing the next Leader. Sadly for Starmer, it's not a cohort likely to select him.

Starmer was sidelined during the lead up to the election from within.

That may be true but you are also betting on brexit being a success. What if project Delusion turns out to be not true and it all goes t*ts up in the next few years? You don't think the CONservatives won't get turfed out sooner?

On second thoughts, maybe they won't as I can't see leave voters wanting to admit they were wrong.

Let's see how brexit turns out.

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!'

What does the part in bold mean?
