History is against your wishful thinking. More from Sky News.
Win or lose - confidence votes rarely end well for Tory PMs.
Two and half years ago he won an 80 seat majority, but Boris Johnson is now facing a vote that could see him toppled.
In her latest update, our political editor Beth Rigby says the number of MPs who are on the government payroll - cabinet ministers, junior ministers, parliamentary private secretaries - is between 160 and 170.
Assuming most of them back the prime minister, he should be able to meet the 180 votes he needs to win.
But even if he wins, how damaged is he? As Beth explains, when previous Tory PMs have survived confidence votes it is rarely the end of the matter.
Margaret Thatcher lasted a few days after losing a confidence vote - Theresa May six months. John Major went into an election and lost.
As Chris Bryant might say, he’s toast.
