She lost me at "14 million people voted for Boris". No, 14 million voted for the Tories, only about 25,000 of those voted for Boris, and it's for the Tories, individually and collectively, to choose their leader and behave accordingly if experience shows that their choice of leader was absolutely the wrong one.

[Hopkirk]

Is anyone going to give her a job in cabinet again?
How about Jacob Rees Mogg? I suspect they will both return to the back benches now.

I've no idea where you get your figure from but as unsavoury as it might be to you the truth is the 'Red Wall' didn't vote 'Conservative'. They voted for Boris because he was the only one to promise to get Brexit done.

[emmie]

and he did by and large -

[youngmafbog]

Mad Nad, the Tories Abbott I'm afraid.

Still Naomi is correct, the Red wall did vote Conservative based on what BJ was promising, and indeed did do.

[Ellipsis]

The Red Wall did not vote for Boris because Boris was not written on their ballot paper. It contained the name of their local candidate and the label Conservative Party. So they either voted for their local candidate or for the party.

The party made Boris leader, the party took it away when it became obvious it was bad for the party. Dorries cannot get her head around that.

[naomi24]

Many Red Wall voters held their noses when they put their cross against the Conservative candidate because they're a loyal bunch with a deeply ingrained affiliation to the Labour Party and that went against the grain. They won't be doing it again.

[naomi24]

//So they either voted for their local candidate or for the party. //

Without Boris their local candidate wouldn't have stood a hope.

[FatticusInch]

Granted quite a few voted for Johnson but it was more a case of voting against Corbyn, that’s really the crux of it.

[naomi24]

Tell yourself whatever makes you happy, but he rallied this country - there's no doubt about that.

//Tell yourself whatever makes you happy, but he rallied this country - there's no doubt about that.//

Lol, you mean like when you tell us what a wonderful and credible PM Johnson was?
He rallied the country then delivered nothing as he partied away, dodging and lying through his stewardship as he laughed at all of us but especially those like yourself who lauded him?
The country saw Corbyn as someone who would negotiate with terrorists, Johnson just a flag-sh*gger who had two letters ready over the Brexit vote just to cover himself.
Promised do much, delivered nothing other than a cost of living crisis and a downturning economy but hey, tell yourself whatever makes you happy.
It’s even funnier that the lies caught up with him in the end, it was always going to be either that or adultery. PMSL

[tomus42]

They voted Tory because of Brexit.

Now that it's 'done' they won't be voting Tory again, Johnson or no Johnson.

[tomus42]

..and of course because of Corbyn.

(Sorry, that was such a given I forgot to even mention it)

Fatti: //He rallied the country then delivered nothing as he partied away, dodging and lying through his stewardship as he laughed at all of us but especially those like yourself who lauded him?//

You've been doling out that inaccurate mantra for so long that you have convinced yourself that it is the truth.

i actually agree somewhat with naomi....

2019 election was about personality rather than politics... but i do think the vote was far more anti-corbyn than it was pro-johnson.

Tories could have selected a pig as their leader and it would have won because Jeremy Corbyn was very unpopular... actually, that is more or less what they did! :)

[naomi24]

FatticusInch leads a very sheltered life, Khandro. A slice of cake, his best frock on, and there he is - partying away. ;o)

as for the op... I do love some Tory infighting in the morning :)

[naomi24]

Watch the leadership race, untitled. Plenty of that to see there.
