BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

Indeed.

But that's got nothing to do with the point that's being alluded to.

The SNP now are to politically savvy to fall for the Tories shítetalk.

If Scotland was out of the UK, the Tories would need less seats to win a majority and would almost guarantee wins for them unless they lost a huge amount seats.

But that’s a potential poison chalice, since I feel the main reason they’re so opposed to the Northern Ireland Protocol is that is contrasts a part of the UK that has been shielded from many of the issues with Brexit (showing it up to be the thick idea that it is). An independent Scotland would be making a beeline to join the customs union and eventually the EU, which would bring that contrast even closer to home. Not sure how Scotland in the customs union would practically work with a long land border with England (might even be a hard border).

But I doubt the SNP could manage to sell the idea of a coalition with Tories to their voters, even if independence was on the cards. Bojo & Co. simply cannot be trusted. Their word is worthless.

This is absolute bullshit, regularly in most modern democracies approval pops above 50% at least for a small time after the election, the problem the UK has and you well know due to it being explained numerous times in other threads is FPtP is entirely undemocratic. In the last 100 years only 1 government has been elected by a majority of voters and it was the tory-lib dem coalition. If you start off from under 50% popular opinion at the election there's no chance you will ever get above 50% as over half the country will always remember they didn't even vote for you.

Jesus wept this is from one of his supporters in parliament.

Indeed which is why a majority of voters voted against him and his party.

So where do you draw the line on elected officials breaking the law? Your comment about not electing the pope obviously means your okay with him breaking some laws so there must be a line?

You couldn't honestly just be supporting him blindly and saying whatever it takes to try and ignore his massive shortcomings and not have thought at all any further about what your comments imply...... youve nooooo history of that.....

She's shagging Zac Goldsmith.

The majority of voters did absolutely vote for the governments that have been formed by Scholz and Martin and yes the majority of Voters did vote for Macron, 58.5% of the second round to be precise.

However as I have repeatedly said only 1 government in the last 100 years has been voted for by a majority of voters in the UK.

Looking forward to whatever bad faith arguments you have left though.

David Cameron called it well when he said BoJo was like " A greased piglet" and he should know having been around him in their informative years at Eton where BoJo was a known bully, Cameron may well have suffered or lost his male virginity, who knows but they don't like each other.

Well the French system I won't defend but Macron did and didn't get 50% depending on how you want to look at it. Who knows what he would have gotten in a better system.

The current governments of Ireland and Germany do have a majority of voters which the Tories don't which is the whole reason why people here are saying it's more democratic here than the UK.

I honestly believe you are smart enough to know this too and you are just trying to deceive.

You don't understand because you don't want to because it suits you.

One obvious difference is that in the Irish system Martin or whoever can be taken down by his coalition partners if they don't agree because the government not the party have the majority. Johnson has a minority majority which governments with proper democracy can't enjoy.
