Got it. The majority of Tories did not. As I said in another post another 2 years of Boris's lies and scandals will hopefully ensure that the British system changes. First past the post disenfranchises millions of voters so must change. Yes we know it was a Liberal idea because they will never get anywhere in government but the other side of the coin is that there are currently some minority groups that whilst overall they gain a significant share of the electorate the current 1st past the post system ensures that they are ignored. When any party bleats on about bringing the country together it is lip service because by disenfranchising so many millions it is not bringing the country together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anywhere near that number of abstentions published. Press reports say In all, 211 Tory MPs voted they had confidence in the PM's leadership while 148 voted against him. Having said that the bloke is a P***k and should resign! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me give you a hint: others who fared better in the vote totals, did not enjoy a long tenure afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good point and there appear to be some conflicting figures. However it was a supposedly anonymous vote so other than one person, the world will never know who voted for or against him. Interesting that in the past that the only person holding the information as to whom ask for his resignation, Sir Graham Brady, is purported to be a Boris supporter. Corruption in the UK government ? never ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that he should had told "the truth" and stated that he lost ? 41% of HIS party have no confidence. That’s a very poor kind of victory and certainly not unifying. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talahtnut Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Oh no it isn't.. Oh yes is.. Its politics panto for the masses with Boris in the rear of the horse, Starmer as widow Twanky. If you voted a chicken in as PM, the result is the same.. Destruction of the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
