I think Johnson's "decision-making" since he became PM has been absolutely woeful, hence why he is in the current position he is in. The British public's judgement is not so poor that they won't see him for the blustering, bluffing narcissist chancer that he is. I hope.

Unfortunately the public wont see him for that because the rhetoric been peddled by the media is that it's because of opposition mps betraying the will of the people and not that fact BJ is all the things you state.

Going back a few pages - Tommy, not sure how sustainable it is to say no to a second referendum on Scottish independence and saying no will magnify the independence sentiment rather than make it go away.

Despite the majority of SNP MPs, there is still not a majority for Independence though

Can we have a referendum on English independence from the rest of the Union please?
Closely followed in my personal preferences is a similar one for Yorkshire devolution.
As long as we all stay friends I don't really care which country I'm a citizen of. (Ok, slight exaggeration there!)

It's really frustrating that no one in the media is talking about how 'getting Brexit done' is just the beginning rather than the end of the process.
It's also extremely upsetting that the idea of electing people to represent us also seems to have gone by the wayside.
*despairs*

Linds I had exactly that conversation with my local MP who was banging on about delivering the will of the "Majority" of the people. Pointing out that out of a population of about 66 million, even allowing for those who could have but didn't vote, 17.4 million was in fact a substantial minority but still a minority.
She really didn't get the idea that she's been elected to represent all of her constuents not just those who vote in a particular way.

You could also point out that over a million of those 17.4 are dead and there's more than 2 million new voters on the rolls, that vast majority of which want to remain. Holding to that 3.5 year old result is literally prioritising the views of dead people over the living.

And to understand the complicated things like trade deals so we don't have to.
