Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned. Within a week the UK will have a new Prime Minister and Boris Johnson is expected to run for leadership election.
One problem however is that Boris was deposed by his own MP's and this leadership election will not poll Tory party members, only the same MP's who removed him. Candidates will need at least 100 nominations for their names to go forward.
Although he is still a clear favourite with the electorate and arguably the only way the Conservative party could ever remain in power, his charisma and likeability has always prevented other hopeful MP's from getting the top job. This is why they are likely to favour another leader who can be toppled at any time. Boris Johnson's popularity works with the public, but works against him with the bland MP's in his own party.
Keir Starmer is calling for an immediate General Election because at this point in time, Labour will definitely win. The smile will soon be wiped off their collective faces should Boris return, but it would seem that the Tories would rather spend an eternity in the wilderness than bring back the only person who can win an election for them.
Bring back Boris and then have an election and everything will then be fair and square. Let the electorate decide. Let us have a democratic vote instead of members of parliament with their own agendas deciding on what is best for them, instead of what is best for the country.
