But they seem to have not actually coordinated this with anyone, out of hubris or complaceny or arrogance or sheer stupidity.

Sky news had a reporter in Boris's constituency, and they only found one person who still supported him. The guy looked like a homeless drunk, who then went on to boast that he went to the same college as Boris, so that's why he supports him. What a day to be alive

Christ, I love government in crisis days. So many bad people just absolutely miserable and you get to just have the live needs fees open on a tab waiting for new Breakings. He'll never resign, there will just be bigger and more frequent crises until they drag him out.

i hope he stays, really drag it out to the bitter end i think his rivals are caught tbh; none of the leadership contenders want a contest now because the next half outlook is shot and they want boris to carry the can for it but also boris cant stop loving up and every time they dont act it makes them look weak and gives labour more chance of winning the next GE incredible gaps between reality and narrative tho narrative: boris the greased piglet, the eternal survivor reality: turned a 80 seat majority into the shortest PM-ship of the modern era all this great survivor stuff is just a way of fig leafing his many personal and public failings; it's not that some lazy, incapable prick is our PM becasue it was his turn and the rest of us have to lump it it's becasue of his weird genius Rustybear fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Jul 6, 2022 |

It won't happen, even if the first two parts happened, the lib dems would roll over like they did on tuition fees.

e-^^oh snap He'll resign via pre-recorded statement on the eve of a fresh NoConf vote when it is obvious he's going to lose. By the time it's released he'll have snuck out the back door.

Because they are preferable in every way to governments having a "mandate" to do whatever the gently caress they want. The only other country in Europe with full FPTP is France and basically everywhere else has a higher standard of living fpr most people than the UK. Also historically something like 60% of votes cast in the UK have been left leaning governments whilst 60% (more now) actual governments have been Tory. It's not a silver bullet but it would be a meaningful improvement.

It would also make electoral organising in conservative areas not completely pointless out of the gate and (probably) finally put a stake through the heart of left-labourism once and for all

I assume whatever shadowy cabal/paymaster that ensures they earn millions after leaving office steps in and says "ahem" while threatening to make the money train vanish is what will cause him to leave like those before. Until then its quite funny learning about all these minister positions who definitely did things. No minister for beans up the backside though. Disappointing.

there is nothing about pr that doesn't boil down to if we give the lib dems more power things might be better. we tried that and things got worse; find a new straw to grasp at. why don't we embrace direct democracy and start holding referenda on all major policy decisions????

Yeah FPTP is basically just slightly better than a dictatorships when it comes to getting policy that represent the voters' opinions.
