For people who are thick as gently caress, Boris coming back is even an easy sell. "I remember Boris was a laugh, they locked him out because he liked having a bit of fun, now look at the state we're in! Never should have kicked him out, he was just having a laugh!"

His personal lovely behaviour aside, I feel like Boris wasn't that bad by the standards of modern Tory PMs. Mostly he preferred popular measures and at least an appearance of caring for the poors.

kecske posted:they'll do that thing where the ones with less backers are progressively eliminated and their supporters redistribute among the remaining runners And if that doesn't work, then they actually do have to give Starmer the chance to form a government. If he can't do so either, then a General Election is automatically called as nobody has the confidence of the House. The comedy option is that Starmer does form a government. He'd be in such an extreme minority position that he'd have to call an immediate GE himself, and the Tories would do everything in their power to oppose it.

The grip Boris has on the media is astonishing. He's splashed across the front of every newspaper, all the breakfast radio and TV news shows were almost exclusively about him. Sunak might as well not exist, even Truss barely squeezed into the coverage. Feels inevitable already.

Mourning Due posted:For people who are thick as gently caress, Boris coming back is even an easy sell. Oh yes, absolutely. I think he's got momentum and is coming back. Those dumb balding shitheads, will as always dance to the Mail/Express/Sun's tune, and will be cheerful that such a mischievous character and scamp who livens things up is back. Previous indiscretions will be buried under the table, and any attempt by the privileges committee or whatever to suspend him will receive massive coverage framing it as an attempted 'WOKE REMOANER STITCH-UP', and Tory MPs will wilt under the public pressure (and desire to appease their base/appear unified). The question is how widely the current level of anger toward the Tories for loving the country up will remain, and how they are able to pin exclusively onto Truss and jettison with her.

Wow. Lin Trust, eh? Worrwerealltharrabout? Heard she was a bit of a goer. Not surprising. You know what they're like. And now she's gone! Oh! Ha ha, bit of a goer, now she's gone. Ha! Just came up with that myself. Yeah, this is it. Anyway, what about this Joris Bohnson guy, brand new, nothing sticking to him. New blood, all that. I had that Nigel Farridge in the back of the cab once, a very clever man, some good ideas.

Sunak and Mordaunt both got over 100 last time. Boris (lol, lmao) is probably going to end up over 100 once the ERG inevitably swings behind him. My guess as to how things play out is that Sunak and Mordaunt come to a carefully, painstakingly negotiated agreement, one of them ends up with the backing of 2/3rds of MPs... then Boris inevitably wins the members' vote and chaos reigns.

According to those keeping count, Mordaunt is struggling to get many backers, so the way it's playing out is it's going to be Boris v Rishi, or Rishi is crowned without it going to the members.

And while its true that Boris will be able to reverse *some* of the polling damage, he is still wildly unpopular and will also have to deal with 2/3rds of MPs outright hating him, even if very few/none are brave enough to actually resign or cross the floor. Also he will almost certainly be found to have lied to parliament and *definitely* not resign over it, so that'll be fun too. Oh and the pound/gilts will tank again. Pound's already down quite a lot over last couple of days as the Return Of Spaffer looks more and more likely.

Yeah but if Boris gets 100 noms (and he very well might) then it doesn't matter if Rishi gets 265, the members still get the final say. And they *will* pick Boris (lol, lmao)

She's also probably not quite stupid enough to completely blow up the NI Protocol, so that again severely restricts her pull with the lunatic wing. They will fall in behind Boris, I think, if only to Stop Rishi. And I don't think Mordaunt herself particularly hates Rishi and would probably prefer to be Chancellor under him than a clown show Boris II admin.
