People have underestimated Johnson for the last 20 years and all throughout his political career. More Fool Them.

Stunts like that zipline episode, and stories of late night arguments with his girlfriend, far from harming him, actually go a long way to making him relatable and often show that he's able to laugh at himself at times too. People who can't see that are the politically blindest of all.

Sorry but if people actually vote for Johnson on the basis that he pisses about on a zip wire or gets ‘handy’ with his missus after a couple of wines, in spite of his policies being wholly against their own interests, then quite frankly they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
 
Brexit that's it.

Shoot yourself to get yourself out of a situation I guess.
Feeling pretty down about this. And still shocked.

I’m a bit obsessed with politics. I follow it intensely, have done for years. I did my degree in it. So I like to think I’m clued up to a certain extent.

I was pretty pessimistic about Labour. I thought the absolutely best outcome we could hope for would be a hung parliament but I thought even that was unlikely.

But I honestly didn’t think the result would be this bad. I don’t understand the British public at all. Even if you’re a natural Tory, given what is well known about Johnson and all his serious character flaws I just don’t understand how so many people think he is an acceptable Prime Minister.

It’s an insane world.

His history, his ideology p, his thoughts on poor and working class as well as his recent embarrassing avoidance of interviews..


Like you said, even if you're a Tory, how can you support that.

Personally I favour being in the EFTA. But I wonder how many of Labour voters where fuming due to how the party behaved in Parliament and chose to vote the other way to force through Brexit.
