Boris Johnson wins confidence vote

  1. The margin was 211-148. For context, Theresa May won her confidence vote by 200-117, 5 months before she resigned. Boris is dead in the water. Expect a resignation either in days, or in months.

  2. If you don’t like Boris and the tories, this is good news for a potential change of government in the next election.

    The Tories are now very divided and Boris is seen and will remain to be seen as very unfavourable by the public..

  3. Does the UK have no confidence votes for PMs in the parliament too? (i.e. the whole parliament votes) I’d imagine that he would lose it if even his own party almost doesn’t support him.

  4. Watch this man cling on to power, bringing his adversaries to the mud with him, get a brand new shiny slogan and win the 2024 general election.

    He is a true politician: no morals, no respect for the law, no respect for the people, a spine as flexible as an elastic band and able to ride the political winds like one of his many ex wife

  5. We are fucked. Literally the reason I don’t vote. This clown does everything wrong and still gets to stay in the job. Nothing changes

  6. People saying this is good news are missing the trend of history. If boris has another year, and gets booted, the tories get a new leader people will vote for. It happened with major and he’s far from the only one as the big “issues” become about the leader and not the policies. Even this thread shows that much.

    I’m still expected keir starmer to be fined(as the police have said is now very likely), step down, and for labour to implode as well as the left and right fight for leadership again. The tories will might rule for anther decade.

  7. it seems people in the UK talk a lot about democracy, freedom, the rule of law and all that crap but when it’s time to act, it’s more like: “let’s indulge collectively our national pastime: acting like willful subservient vassals of our organized kleptocracy, so uniquely British”
