Yeah I know hence I said how our system makes the leader very vulnerable

There's advantages and disadvantages to our parliamentary system and this is one of the disadvantages imo

I don't think I have ever seen a UK PM so hated before, and I honestly mean that.

I do however think the Tories do need to stand by one of their leaders, because they do have a habit of snaking them rather than riding the storm with their leaders.

As for Starmer moaning about Boris being around until the successor is in place, Corbyn remained in position for months while Starmer was elected

The problem is, there were too many sharks wanting Boris’s downfall so his lies were exposed and blown up out of proportion.
If it had suited them not to expose him, we’d never have known a thing…and really, he had a lot more to deal with (Brexit, pandemic, the economy, war) than how long he was at a party or who was feeling somebody’s ass (does the government not have an HR department to deal with complaints like this?)

Majority of Brits want to see a caretaker PM replace Boris Johnson
A majority of Britons want a caretaker PM to replace Boris Johnson while his permanent successor is elected, according to a snap poll conducted by YouGov.

The survey found that 56 per cent of people want to see an interim PM.

Just under a third (32 per cent) said Mr Johnson should remain in No 10 while a successor is elected.

Almost eight in 10 people - 77 per cent - believe Mr Johnson was right to resign as PM.

Just over a third of people - 36 per cent - believe Mr Johnson has been a "terrible" premier.

People forget that John Major and his government became really unpopular and scandal-hit in the mid-90s.

Conservatives got absolutely destroyed in 1997 election.
