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

[elbows]

If you start a poll, it's to find out what other people think. It would be odd to vote in it yourself, because you already know what you think.

It could be considered common courtesy to indicate your own opinion via the poll, especially if you are going to make a big deal of posting lists of how people voted later.

Anyway as far as I'm concerned you lost in a previous round, by stinking up the main Johnson thread with your often expressed view that people were getting over-excited about the prospects of enough letters being sent to the 1922, and that we were wasting our time. Granted you had the sense to stop coming out with that sentiment in last 6 weeks or so. And there was a period in April where I agreed that the letters were not about to pile up, but that once things like the local elections had happened the situation could liven up again.

 

[teuchter]

You only think you know what you think.

All the more reason for me not to vote in the poll, if I might just be providing wrong information.

 

[elbows]

At least we dont need to bother with a no confidence vote about you.

 

[teuchter]

So you get to know what we think, but we don’t get reciprocation from you. Right

You get to decide whether you vote. I get to decide whether I vote. It all seems pretty fair to me.

Fair comment, but by setting up the poll, are you not just inviting everyone else's wrong information, sewing general confusion and giving strength to foreign powers?

To be fair though, all those MPs who sent their letters in, as it turns out, were also getting over excited.

I think more people expressed no confidence in Johnson today than the letter writers were expecting. And by publicly trying to get rid of him, those who publicly revealed they had sent letters in are at least able to communicate with angry members of the public in a less squirmy manner, which may have been their motivation as much as actually thinking they could get rid of him at this stage.

They may still turn out to have played quite a part in his downfall, if it turn out he cannot recover from so many of his MPs expressing no confidence in him.

But they will never get to know your thoughts on the matter

he is a great bloated bladder and great bloated bladders don't have opinions like that

I think I've had enough of teuchter for a while - I can get this level of interaction with randoms in the pub ...
I am taking editor 's advice and forgetting he exists ...

A pub full of teuchters would be a place I’d like to visit.

this does at least tie the Tories to this useless cunt. we can wind them up about being divided now but once the dust has settled - they backed him. which will hopefully remain a negative for a good while yet.

The amazing thing is how little effect all this is having on the polls. Labour are ahead, but with piddling and fairly static leads. Well done Sir kieth, your barn doors and open goals campaign is going so well!

well... Labour are ahead by as much as they've ever been (in covid times), no? and the change happened around the time Partygate kicked off. so can read it both ways...

i'm not persuaded that labour are any less riven and if they are more united it's really only because shammer has done so well excluding socialists

Did Johnson vote confidence or no confidence; was he really trying to get out?

Nadine Dorries is a really fucking useless moronic cunt isn't she. Jesus christ.

And I bet Starmer feels a real sense of loyalty, solidarity and warm friendship from the dead-eyed blairite drones that now dominate his party.

Not like Starmer can complain if someone on his team stabs him in the back and then steals his job either; being as that's exactly how he got the job in the first place.

At risk of the obvious transgression of Godwin's...she's so thick, malevolent and obviously psychopathic that I always look at her and think willing camp guard.

She wouldn't blink doing the milgrim experiment. Fucking awful cunt that she is.

She'd be like, 'is that all the voltage you got!!!??'

She'd be saying "why the hell can't I actually watch them fry???"

it's a toss up between her and Priti Patel as to who I'd push off a cliff first.

 

[Gromit]

This is not a poll about your prediction - but about your preferred outcome.

Some people have said they want him to stay as that'll do the most damage to the Conservatives in the long term. But I suspect they'll still celebrate if he loses, and pretend that's what they wanted all along.

And vice versa.

I want him to concentrate on the league.

 

[xenon]

Yes.

She worked as a nurse for a while too. Yikes.
