Do YOU think there should be a General Election?
In normal circumstances, I wouldn't say that a GE is needed if a Prime Minister gets the boot (or needs to) as we don't have a presidential system - PMs aren't elected, they head the party with the most MPs.
But Johnson's rise to office was pretty unique, or at least achieved through very specific circumstances - at the time he was Jolly Old Boris, seen as a bit of a buffoon but a good laugh, etc etc, or at least by those who weren't fully paying attention; he was promising to "Get Brexit Done", and rightly or wrongly a lot of people were sick to the back teeth of it being endlessly dragged out with no end in sight, and just wanted it done with; and he was against Corbyn.
None of these things are relevant now - even those who don't pay much attention can surely see what he is, Brexit "is" done, and he's not against Corbyn.
So as the General Election had a result which was something of a "lightning in a bottle", do you think ousting Boris could justify another GE?
