PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[teuchter]

The establishment seem to be on full throttle to overturn the referendum.

Cheered on by U75's champagne anarchists.

In much the same way, Carling is the best lager, because a lot of people drink it.

 

[Rob Ray]

As a rule more people don't vote than vote for any variety of prime minister, including Conservative, so maybe wind that self-satisfied smugness down a notch.

Surely home brew anarchists?

 

[belboid]

More people voted for a Conservative prime minister than voted for any other variety of prime minister, even if everyone here likes to dismiss the opinion of those people. And more people voted for a Conservative prime minister than voted for the panel of pontificating judges who are now dictating how the country should be run.

People don't vote for a Prime Minister, they vote for an MP. No one voted for No Deal, either, as May left that out of the last Tory manifesto.

A GE is no doubt going to completely change the political landscape and those who have worked so hard to stop Brexit will be eviscerated by the electorate.

Oh the world is so simple and black and white for you! It might surprise you that Establishment and Remain are not equivalent, any more than Brexiteer and Rascist is equivalent.

Nobody at all voted for him as PM, they voted for him as leader (if you mean the recent tory membership vote).

True. It's probably the case that most people who vote for a tory MP, actually want to be ruled by supreme judges, and don't like the idea of a Tory PM being in charge.

You think judges should be elected?

did they now?
the conservatives received 13,636,684 votes - 42.4%. which means that other parties received 57.6%. now, i don't know how you calculate things down in loughborough junction or whichever unfortunate locality you live in, but generally speaking 57.6 is taken to be a greater percentage than 42.4. so more people desired a non-tory prime minister than did for a tory one.

True I've not got the patience to learn how to home brew properly, but I do like a nice pale ale, which is pretty much the same as champagne at London pub prices tbf.

I didn't claim that they did.
They voted for a party whose rules for choosing a new leader were perfectly clear, although people here think they are too racist and thick to have understood those rules.

You are really very confused. The judges aren't ruling, beyond ruling that parliament should rule. And guess what it is we vote for in elections. Members of parliament. We don't vote for governments or pms, if you want to get technical about it.

 

[Rob Ray]

Is there a term for someone who really hates people making sweeping judgements and yet constantly does so on the very thread where he complains about it?

Nope. If you're going to troll, put some effort in. They voted for individuals to become their member of parliament. That's it. That's the only thing we get to vote for.

you really dont understand what is happening, do you? Long live your dictatorship though!

someone who does that is a teuchterist and the action of doing so is a teuchterism

That's like saying that when I go into a shop and ask for cheese and onion crisps, and I get given a packet of salt and vinegar crisps, that's perfectly fair enough because after all, I did ask for a 'non-ready-salted' variety of crisps.

It's really nothing like saying that at all.

Personally I keep walking into the shop looking for bread and roses but there's only vinegar and then I'm told told to piss off. I don't know why I keep going .

Yes it is.

Wait ... are you Jim Davidson?

Anyway. The extraordinary amount of effort everyone is putting into responding to my posts shows what a slow news day it is.

I've no idea whether you are talking about the electorate or the tory membership vote. Though, tbh, I'm struggling to stay with this interesting topic. Must be the home brew kicking in.

Kind of you to worry but it's no trouble, your awfulness is mildly entertaining in small doses.
