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

[Yossarian]

This.

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

Then to win by one vote on a subsequent recount.

A one-vote win would be especially damaging if this is true:

MP accused of rape will be allowed to take part in Boris Johnson confidence vote

Two suspended Tory MPs won't get the whip back in order to take part in the vote - but a third MP who was arrested on suspicion of rape will be allowed to vote by proxy

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.

Duels give you better odds of a 2for1 deal though.

Fair. Either would work for me tbh.

I think I want him to lose although I haven't given thought to the possible ramifications of either result. There is something 'wrong' with him beyond just tory ideology, he's quite similar to Trump IMO and I'd prefer not to have our country represented on the world stage by an absolute fucking clown any longer, thank you, have everyone see him being rejected by his own party, acknowledge that they don't want to be seen as he is.

I predict 61 votes of No Confidence against Boris Johnson. Just possible to see him stagger on from this number.

Do you mean 161?

 

[Hollis]

Heart - wants him to lose
Head - wants him to win: easier for Labour to win next election..

61 is enough to limp on. 161 and grey suits are donned

It's not going to be as low as 61, not a chance.

I want him to lose it. Well, I actually wanted him to die when he got Covid, so I'm not going soft on him now. Same time, the tories getting someone else in place, however uninspiring they are to the red wall, southern voters and the rest, is probably a recipe for staying in power.

Actually, I hope they all fuckin' snuff it.

 

[maomao]

actually wanted him to die when he got Covid

Only when he had covid? Remarkably restrained.

 

[Wilf]

Could it go to penalties? Fixed penalties?

Coat.

 

[brogdale]

If he wins by one, could that one be Rosindell's proxy?

 

[Wilf]

I'm merely highlighting that period. It's normally a common or garden death wish, but that would have had the advantage of being an ironic death.

Maybe leave one alive - not Johnson, obviously - so they can tell the tale.

trail by combat him up against hunt




**also gets coat

Is that from the Alanis Morissette school of irony? Pretty straightforward just desserts I would have thought.

Rees Mogg as the Ancient Mariner. The cunt probably goes hunting.

This evening, like many of recent times, I tune in to politics radio to be entertained.

Come on Boris, you useless piece of shiite, entertain me!

Suppose I was thinking that early on in the pandemic he was coming out with shite about 'biffing' the 'so called Covid virus'. Anyway, let's keep the proper order of things: defeat > humiliation > defenestration.

161 is men in grey suits regardless of what Boris thinks

 

[Ax^]

hmm will be interesting to see what of the Scumbags get dragged out on tomorrows TV

to show how a no confidence vote where he pulls less that Teressa may is somehow a vindicaiton of the prick

 

[quiet guy]

He'll claim a 99.9% victory in the face of all the evidence to the contrary.

David Davis said this and I’m a bit confused by it

What’s in it for them in doing this, just hedging their bets ? But then why say anything in public at all ?

It's called knowing which side your bread's buttered while having your cake and eating it.

As a minister they need to be seen supporting the PM, in a secret ballot they can vote whatever way they want.

 

[Ax^]

sure they get polled by the whips about their voting

as bojo if he wins will be looking for revenge its not that daft a move

people who spoken publicly have made it clear in advance of the fact

 

[littlebabyjesus]

The votes are destroyed apparently. They can tell the whips whatever they like. Whips will know how many are lying, but not which ones. Half the whips might be lying.

 

[bimble]

If you had a feeling your constituents hated Johnson now you’d think twice about blabbering on to anyone about your unwavering support for the leader though, even if you’re personally desperate to keep on his good side.
I’ve had a really bad day but still, glad I’m not a Tory mp, one in three lying their heads off in hope of survival that’s just sad.

 

[quiet guy]

They burn the voting slips so that you get the puff of white smoke above Parliament.

Sorry mixing that up with the Vatican and electing a new Pope
