And I think Boriss is more likely to result in an early GE. As a Leaver my concern with Hunt is that he's capable of making an extremely unpopular and controversial decisions and take all the flack for it, like he did with the junior doctors. As thick skinned as they come! So if he decided we have to revoke article 50, or have a 2nd ref he'd just go ahead. My hope is that Boris appoints smart and strong people around him to get the job done. Without them he'd be useless. I've rarely heard a politician who can speak for so long without actually saying anything. Edited June 23, 2019 by CG1 Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how we both look at the personalities and past performance of these two from two different perspectives and come to opposing concusions about their likely performance. maybe we should just agree that neither can be trusted ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You people are getting so self-righteous and up yourselves about nothing, it must hurt a bit.I’ll be very happy for Boris to lie, cheat, trick and deceive our way out of the EU and the Remainer created impasse. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is capable of achieving that by 31st Oct, not even God almighty. This is just a continuation of the pantomime that is Brexit, scripted by the EU & UK establishment. Let's not forget the summer holidays are approaching, everyone will go on holiday soon after the next PM will be elected. Then, when they all return in September, the EU will start their Hearings of Commissioners to elect a new Commission President. That will take things to middle of October. Nobody will talk to the new UK PM until after that is completed. In the meantime, the UK Parliament will vote against a no deal Brexit, and the pantomime continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU has given the UK an extension until 31/10, at which point the UK automatically is no longer a member of the EU. The only pantomime is UK MPs believing that what they do has any effect 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, but I can't see any reason why Boris would be throwing his MP seat/career away. If he fails to bring Brexit by 31 October for whatever reason, he'll be unelectable ever again. So he must think he has a chance of pulling it off. And Farage is waiting eagerly in the wings for a Conservative Brexit fail.
