Do you want Boris Johnson to win or lose the confidence vote?

[littlebabyjesus]

lose because it would add one to the number of times he's been sacked for lying, being incompetent or both.

Each time he's fucked up, he's come back in a more important position. He falls upwards.

just make him fall outdoors then and he'll ascend to the heavens and out of our ken

 

[platinumsage]

He's got time to regain his US citizenship and stand for president. Should be easy to for him to get a Trump endorsement, and his notional Catholicism should help.

 

[Flavour]

On personal level I hope he loses, but on a more pragmatic level perhaps a narrow win is best. Tory poll boost with new leader if he loses makes next GE another likely tory majority.

 

[Chz]

I don't have a preferred outcome. I think we all lose either way. It's a bit of a Catch-22 though - Johnson is only popular with Tories so long as he wins things. Ergo he has to win, otherwise he loses. For all the sense that makes. He's not actually popular with the rank and file as Boris Johnson, just as someone who can win. I suspect a lot of them don't like him personally one bit but will swallow anything for victory.

 

[teuchter]

I don't really see how anyone who thinks that "partygate" is considered serious by potential Tory voters would want him to go. Surely a new leader allows them to say that's all behind us now; clean slate.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Lose. I'm well aware there'll be a total shitcunt in charge regardless so I'm going on a pure schadenfreude basis because I fucking hate him.

 

[krtek a houby]

Want him to lose but whatever the outcome, it's the people who always lose.

 

[Plumdaff]

There's no good outcome. A new leader allows for the fuckers to pretend there's a 'new start', a 'clean slate', and to dodge collective responsibility for their actions, but if he wins we retain an obvious toxic narcissist in power.

 

[Smangus]

King of the fucking world eh? Useless shit bag

 

[eatmorecheese]

I want him gone so badly I don't even have to blink.

 

[campanula]

Gone please. Much as I like the idea of a venal Tory party in disarray, I am honestly sick of the cocooned, white, posh-boy, privilege scenario - and the sycophantic dullards who have attached themselves to this bullying pisswipe.

 

[chilango]

Hope he wins by 185 to 182.

Yes, I know that doesn't add up. I want him to get caught rigging the vonc really obviously but then try and brazen it out by accusing his opponents of rigging it instead.

 

[Pickman's model]

yeh i'd like a tie and then johnson collapses with a heart attack

 

[Smangus]

The vermin now have to choose, stick with vomit sack and go down to certain defeat at the next election, ditch sack of vomit and descend into internecine warfare between the ERG and One Nation tendencies.

Fantastic choices right there.

i'd like to see it decided in a tug of war with johnson standing in as the rope

 

[Epona]

None of us win, whatever happens.

I can't help feeling a little bit of glee at the thought of him being metaphorically kicked in the chops though.
Much as I'd feel a little bit of glee at the thought of him being actually kicked in the chops - might not help anything but it might be the most amusing part of my day.

 

[chilango]

The only honourable way a gentleman could settle this is with a duel.

yeh well that's not the johnson way

 

[hash tag]

Win as he would surely cost them the next election.

Each time he's fucked up, he's come back in a more important position. He falls upwards.

He'll start regretting BREXIT, in that case, as he can't make it to being President of the European Commission; and the UN General Secretary job is not an option either, as candidates from Security Council Permanent Member states are excluded.

As a native born US Citizen he could have had a shot at the Presidency, but he relinquished his citizenship.

I'd like to see him humiliated but limping on in his current role.

he's being lined up as un peace envoy to the middle east

 

[WhyLikeThis]

If you hate BJ and the Tories, this is basically a question of whether you're an optimist or a pessimist, whatever happens. The former will be happy to see him kicked out because he deserves to get a good kicking, and will happy to see him stay on and drag down the party. The pessimist will be gloomy when he's ousted because the replacement may well be objectively worse and also make the party more electable, and gloomy if he's not, because he's still fooling enough people.

Potential replacements may win back Tory votes from the yellow vermin in the home counties but they’ll unlikely be palatable to ex-UKIP red wall voters. Farage is agitating to oust Johnson as he can smell this potential prey.

Tory majority is guaranteed at the next GE cause Starmer's a fucking Tory.

Hopefully, he'll get the best suite at the King David Hotel.

 

[ohmyliver]

I'd like him to lose. I'd also like the vote to be 52% against him, and 48% for him, if it's not too much to ask.

 

[Sue]

Bottle of whisky and a service revolver would also work but we're talking about Boris Johnson so honourable obviously doesn't come into it.

 

[planetgeli]

I want him to die. Painfully.

 

[8ball]

Win, but by one vote only.

This.

But then for him to lose by one vote on a recount.

Then to win by one vote on a subsequent recount.

 

[steeplejack]

windmilling fists outside a Yates' Wine Lodge in Thurrock from a pissed Nadine, and a visibly jaked-up haunted pencil being arraigned on charges of drunk in charge of a pennyfarthing, as the butterfuly life of this awful, awful government comes to an end.
