And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

My prediction is Boris will have a spy inside the 1922 committee text him the names of the new committee members as they are voted in, and all he has to do is remove their whips. They'll no longer be able to take part in the committee on account of no longer being Tories.

He should really just remove the whip of every MP that voted against him last time. That'd show 'em!

Reality is she was the last minister in his government.

There are none left. It's him. He's the prime minister among zero ministers.

We can now call minister resignation watch because there are no ministers left to resign. Boris needs to appoint some more so they can resign in turn.

As a mainland European UK politics always seemed a bit surreal but this time its just a straight up absurd comedy.
Gove getting sacked :classiclol:


quote:

If the government loses a confidence vote, the situation is similar to that of an election in which no one party wins a majority.

That means that the existing prime minister should only resign if it's clear someone else can command the support of the House of Commons.

However, if an alternative government is ready to take over, convention suggests that the PM should stand down.

There are a lot of "should"s in that sentence. So there are no actual laws about it and even if Boris loses a confidence vote he is not forced to do anything about it?
UK parliamentary rules are wild.
