  • Yeah I get that, but if the by elections go badly that doesn't really fit.

    If he wins them (even as narrowly as the confidence bid) I wouldn't be surprised.

    Would the Tory party push to remove the sitting PM during an election campaign?

    For Johnson it's all about survival - whatever it takes to keep Big Dog in number 10.

  • But why? This is what I genuinely don't get.

    He looks knackered and fed up all the time. It can't really be fun being him at the moment, can it?

    Genuinely can't work out his motivation.

  • It's like all these fuckers, they JUST WANT TO WIN, to the exclusion of everything else. Not just politicians, applies to billionaires, media stars, etc etc.

  • Genuinely can't work out his motivation.

    I've often wondered about this. I imagine he'd have loved to have been able to swan around Davos, being in the room with the billionaires and presidents, hosting G7 events and being in all the photos.

    A nice quiet time as PM for a few years would have been infinitely preferable yet he's gone out of his way to make all that impossible. If he wanted to tick the box marked 'PM', I'm pretty sure he would eventually have been able to even without Brexit for example.

  • Genuinely can't work out his motivation.

    He's spent most of his life winging it, not putting in the effort and conning people with charm and bluster. Don't think he has another strategy and he may still think it will work in the end because it always has up till now.
