What majority? 42% is not a majority.Just remind me what his majority is

Not at all. The others are the majority,It is if there are 2 or more others in the running and one of them has 41% or less
His majority would have counted for nothing if it hadn't been for Labour in the recent lockdown vote. The Tory Party will tear itself apart over anything it seems.Just remind me what his majority is
I’ll put this out there.Bojo is a bad politician full of self interest but he’s no trump.
Not even close.
I’ll say again I’m no fan of boris but My point is that boris isn’t the issue it’s the Tory party Itself as would you rather Rees mogg or gove.
There is no trump party Is my point he was the poison as once he’s gone the Republican Party I think themselves will distance himself from him.
It’s a different system here you can’t compare.
Ok Let me put it another way trump was not not and never had been a Republican, so he never came through the ranks of the Republican Party he was never a governor or senator or house rep he’ll he’d never ran even so much as a pta meeting before he won the election. He stole the nominee from genuine republicans like jeb bush like ted Cruz like Rubio etcOh of course we can compare. Has nothing to do with the system and more the human. Personally it’s a trite argument. Is Boris as bad as Donald? Well the impact of their policies will be the true arbiter in the end.
I know what you are saying. That the Presidential position gives ultimate power in one man that Johnson doesn’t have and Trump was abusing that power. But as personal characteristics there’s a lot to compare.
Trump”’s badness is not in question and park that for the moment.Ok Let me put it another way trump was not not and never had been a Republican, so he never came through the ranks of the Republican Party he was never a governor or senator or house rep he’ll he’d never ran even so much as a pta meeting before he won the election.

Boris IS a Tory though and has been his whole life it’s an ideology, and it’s that ideology that’s the issue in this country. Remove Boris and nothing would change as gove or rabb or Patel etc would take over.
That is the difference.
Yes he does, removing Boris would not change a thing not a thing. Sadly.He doesn’t think like a Tory
Come on you know what I was referring toWhat majority? 42% is not a majority.
Yes he does, removing Boris would not change a thing not a thing. Sadly.
This is all true but unlike removing trump, removing borris would nit change a thing as would you feel safer if it was gove or Patel or Rees mogg were to replace him ???Johnson is neither use nor ornament precisely because - like Trump - he believes in nothing. He doesn't believe in brexit but rather leapt on the passing bandwagon because it got him the job he craved. Except he doesn't really want that either. He wants the position alright but he certainly doesn't want to do the job.
I really believe he thought he'd step into Downing Street and be universally loved. That's why he tried to be some kind of Churchillian figure at the onset of Covid-19, but he has been found out within a year of taking the job. He's an entertainer, a kind of Lord Charles-made-flesh figure, with a fatal flaw - his craving for attention and adoration. It's all he has inside. He's a hollow man.
