Tora //Brown taking over, it was instant only because Brown was unopposed. If there had been a contest, Blair would have stayed until the new leader was chosen.//
If when why who. I'm talking about what actually happened, not some fictional alternative reality.
//Boris has done the same what's the difference?//
If you think that Boris has "calmly fallen on his sword" then you're living in the same fantasy world as Gully.
//but she stayed until the successor was chosen.//
Yup, but she wasn't going to cause any friction. She was too much of a party-centric politician. Wouldn't put her own career above the "greater good".
//All you've done there Mozz is back me up. The only reason they want Boris out is because what they've already done has not sated their blood lust as they thought it would so they want more out of pure spite and nastiness.//
So, not because they've had enough of a leader who isn't worthy of the title of "Prime Minister", has, using the terminology of the sporting world, bought the party into disrepute, and who they don't trust to run the country efficiently for the last few months of his time in office then? Righto.
Take off your rose tinted glasses Tora, you may believe you're being a loyalist, but you're sounding like a Boris fanboy (a blue Gully. Congratulations on that). Leaders come and leaders go. I'm sure the next leader will be as bad as some who have come before them, but they'll be hard pushed to be worst that their direct predecessor.
