Re: stop press, Boris Johnson faces vote of no confidence
Maybot wasn't elected either, she replaced the pig f*cker Cameron. To be fair, the UK doesn't vote for the leader, just the party & their local MPs. It is then up to those elected MPs to choose who leads; often with dire consequences as the sycophancy reaches ludicrous levels. Typically the leader of the party that wins the election goes on to be appointed by the Queen as PM. She also has the right to remove a PM, but hasn't been exercised since 1834 (sadly..)Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 2:37 pmHe wasn't elected, was he?

Re: stop press, Boris Johnson faces vote of no confidence
Would you prefer a republic model, where the president is elected separately from the legislature and there are three supposedly separate and equal branches?

Sure not disagreeing Doc, she won the election - but that was after she had replaced Cameron what, a year earlier? https://www.politico.eu/article/theresa ... -minister/Doc67 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 9:11 pmErm... https://www.bbc.com/news/election/2017/resultsSpigzy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 3:38 pmMaybot wasn't elected either, she replaced the pig f*cker Cameron.

Point I was making was that the PM is not actually elected directly by the population; they are merely the party leader who is then confirmed by the Queen should they win a general election. For the non-POME/Limeys, etc. We don't get a say on the leader - so don'tvote for leaders, you vote based on the party mandate, etc. Which is a bit bizarre, imagine you're a long term Labour voter & think Keir Starmer could be a superb lead after winning an election - only for him to resign & the party puts DIanne Abbott in charge for the next five years ... bonkers.

Best result possible.
Death by a thousand cuts.
He will never resign.
Guaranteed to lose the election.

Re: stop press, Boris Johnson faces vote of no confidence
Agreed. Now there is already talk of the Lib Dems tabling a motion of no confidence in the government. If those 148 Tory MPs vote against Boris again we could be headed for a general election.
