All fair points MiW ................ but I guess he reckons that with the opposition being the bungling berk, Boris, he must be in with a good chance. He'll be hoping that the Brexit vote gets split with the feckless fart, Farage, allowing him to squeeze in through a crack.
Unfortunately, I think he's not fully on board with the likelihood that some long term Labour (remain) supporters would rather vote Lib Dem, or even Green than for him ......... plus of course, there's the separate issue of Brexit supporting Labour voters.
Still plenty of talking points on this subject for a while yet.
Brexit is one of the biggest political issues the UK has ever seen, perhaps outside of war time. There are very few people who are neutral, most have a view to leave or remain. To not have a stance - other than he won’t support a Tory Brexit or no deal - is piss poor. He won’t/can’t nail his colours to the mast and is pure cowardice. Now given any election would be fought on Brexit grounds he/labour would be totally irrelevant given you wouldn’t know what you would be voting for. That said last time they campaigned saying they’d respect the referendum- which may or not be total bollocks. Either way you couldn't trust them on the issue. I accept some will vote for a certain party as that’s what they’ve always done, most likely as they don’t have the intellect to know what they are voting for, but there are plenty out who will vote accordingly in any ejection fought primarily on Brexit grounds.
If he really wanted to put the country first and push for a national unity government he should surely realise he could not provide that unity given his extreme ideologies, anti semitism position etc. Even a good chunk of his own MPs think he’s too unsuitable to be pm. As such he should step aside and let someone who could hold the fort have a crack at forming it. He won’t because he’s not interested in the national good, just getting his hands on power and will do so by any means necessary. He’s a repugnant individual in more ways than one. If he or his acolytes seriously can’t see he isn’t suitable to lead nug then they are more deluded than I thought.
As for Boris, to be fair he hasn’t really put a foot wrong since becoming PM - depending on how you view Brexit. Personally I feel he should be striking a deal with Farage to ensure they don’t cut each other’s throats and consider in which constituencies each will field candidates. Then call steptoes bluff and see if he’ll support an election. I honestly think if they did it would be a comfortable majority for the Tories/BP even in a coalition. Steptoe is too stubborn to enter into any alliance with another party and I don’t think any other really wants to be in one anyway with him at the helm.
Bollocksaplenty indeed. If it’s not a word it should be!
