periodictabledancer Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, RobboM said: Hypothetical BUT if Johnson were to win the Tory vote WOULD he have to demonstrate that he can form a government? The voting process does NOT require an endorsement from the parliamentary party. When he left in disgrace he had faced a vote of no confidence in which 148 Tory MPs recorded NO confidence. This was followed by more than 50 ministers resigning from his government in an act of NO confidence. How can he reasonably demonstrate he has numbers to form a government? When the Tories parrot this phrase what THEY mean is they have a 80+ seat majority therefore can form a government whereas the opposition parties, even combined, cannot. I agree with all you've said so in the unlikely event he becomes PM either Tory MPs currently serving in govt posts will be exposed as hypocrites (and continue, serving under him, perhaps literally) or he will have to find (up to) 120 MPs who would serve in his cabinet.

Yes! and since you already have evidence of the opposite being true ie that he doesn't have confidence of sufficient Tory MPs either through the vote of confidence in June OR the mass resignations from his government in July HOW can he demonstrate that he has support of a stable majority if he were elected?

periodictabledancer Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Conservative sources claim that if Boris Johnson returns as prime minister he could be ‘gone by Christmas’, due to damning new evidence about the partygate scandal which brought him down. Several people familiar with the Privileges Committee’s investigation into whether Boris Johnson misled MPs over parties in No10 have spoken to ITV News. They say that a large amount of damaging evidence from inside No10 has already been handed over to Harriet Harman, who is chairing the inquiry. https://www.itv.com/news/2022-10-21/damning-partygate-evidence-means-boris-johnson-could-be-gone-by-christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
