Folk here might think I'm giving him too much credit, but the whole "resigning" , truss somehow becoming PM (despite being a walking void), Dorries sycophantic praise, sticking around in chequers, putting his name back into the releadershio vote... Well, it all has an air of being orchestrated. Stick the dead cat up to show how bad it is "without Boris" and then saunter back in as the familiar, safer pair of of hands. Boris will be PM again because that's the the shittest outcome will be. Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obiekt_279 Looks like the Soviets have a history of building stuff that still wouldn't help them win this war.

I reckon other MPs are hanging back a bit, going to be talking with others to make sure only 1 nominee gets most 'promises' (other than potentially Boris) rather than splitting the vote. Or I suppose it could be Mad Nads writing (or emailing) under 49 different names. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Oct 21, 2022 |

They have to know how badly Boris would be viewed right? He's the second most hated PM in recent history. The vast majority of every poll say it was right he was sacked, and this lot are thinking about bringing him back?

I actually had to look up yesterday why it was Boris finally went. Straight up couldn't remember. It was the whole Chris Pincher sexual abuse thing. But honestly it could have been anything, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Nah. Boris isn't nearly clever enough to have done this deliberately. He might still become PM again, but he's also far too lazy to be able to set things right. He'll get booted at the next election if he wins this. And then he'll go down in history as the failed PM who was kicked out of office twice during the same term.

The vast majority of every poll say it was right he was sacked, and this lot are thinking about bringing him back? They know there's enough detestable, ignorant bigots out there (see the stupid woman clip a few pages ago) to probably keep the baseline tory support functioning. From my basic view, this current clown car has regular Tory voters turning their noses at the party. Boris would likely bring them back because he's the Noel Edmonds of the Tory party and end up keeping the party in power with just 35% of the votes due to FPTP. Everyone needs to remember that it doesn't matter if Scotland, Wales or the majority of people hate him. Due to the FPTP all he needs is that magical minimal public vote for the party to keep him on the top.

Most of the polling collapse is Tory voters either saying they don't know who they'll vote for anymore instead of Tory, or their likelihood to vote in the next election dropping and being weighted lower. It's not much Starmer doing anything. Easy to see in the Crosstabs.

It's not much Starmer doing anything. Easy to see in the Crosstabs. Yes, I'm aware. That's why we always ignore polls - the vast majority of those I don't knows will become "dunno, guess I'll vote Tory like always". The problem is that the Tory support is too big to simply vanish. Nice though it is to think of there never being a Tory MP again, those voters have to go somewhere and there's so many of them that whichever party they end up supporting will be subject to entryism on an unprecedented scale. Regardless of who actually governs, Britain will not be fixed as long as Tory voters are still alive. E: that's an observation, BTW, not a statement of intent.

It unfortunately also means that the people in charge of Labour will feel becoming the new Tories was the correct strategy.
