The fact that nails this is evil is that we have no constitutional set up in the uk and therefore Johnson and his cronies/advisers take full advantage as they have come to understand you can ride a coach and horses threw our parliamentary conventions since he prorogued parliament to save their party.For having someone with no integrity, no humility and no respect for others and who lies and cheats throughout life as our prime minister and leader of the country?
I agree this is a big problem. My view is that those parties in opposition do not do enough campaigning until the government call an election. Campaigning should be happening now not just on the local elections but nationally too and keep the momentum going on a national level. I appreciate campaigning costs money, but there is so much more local wannabe MP’s can do to keep the pressure on I would think their party manifesto’s are 90% written now, start selling it locally even if the election is 2 years away. Show they care now and push hard for a fairer more equitable society rather than trying to cram it all in the last few weeks before a general election.It's the apathetic that are the big problem. We have a huge class of people who don't "do" politics. Without realising that right now, politics is "doing" them. And doing them hard. How do we mobilise these people? How do we make them realise the apathy is allowing the corruption? That's the struggle of this country right now.
What should happen is him going to the country again and let the people judge him.The question states remaining in power so the public have no authority to remove him other than at a general election. They are responsible for him being in power though.
There are only two legal ways to remove him as far as I can see, they are by personal resignation or by the MP’s removing him. Firstly, we know Johnson has no moral compass. His apology was well scripted, which tells me the wording was carefully prepared so as not to incriminate himself at a later date. I think he said heart felt apology, if it was heart felt he would not need a scripted note to refer to.
Secondly 54 MP’s need to write to the 1922 committee. They daren’t because of the upcoming local elections and the war in Ukraine. Well France are having a presidential election, is France unstable? No it isn’t. All that would happen is Johnson staying in power till the new charlatan, sorry I mean PM was in post if indeed he lost a no confidence vote.
Part of me feels Labour are much better him remaining as he is the gift that keeps on giving, it is just the thought of how much more damage he would cause over that of a new PM. What should happen is him going to the country again and let the people judge him.
Good pointRussia?
Blue rosette crowd? Firstly I am not a Tory, and never have been. Secondly I have never defended Johnson, Sunak or any other MP that has broken the law.A mix of the MPs and the public: The MPs are culpable because they are debasing themselves and any principles they had to desperately cling to power. This is mainly enabled by those that still support Johnson though. The simple fact is: if the general public made it vocal how abhorrent it is that a standing PM has broken the law, and that they won't stand for it, then the self serving, self aggrandising, careerist MPs would turn on him to further their own careers. Not an ideal reason for it but an ideal result.
The problem we have in this country is we have the usual "Blue Rosette" crowd who'll support them regardless. you see it on here, people like @uncle_rico and @FatCat trying to deflect from the mountain of corruption as desperately as they can. People like this are probably lost, they simply don't care about morals enough to turn on Johnson.
It's the apathetic that are the big problem. We have a huge class of people who don't "do" politics. Without realising that right now, politics is "doing" them. And doing them hard.

You don't merely point out hypocrisy. In this case you've tried to deflect from the fact that the PM broke the law. Scary that you've tried to justify thatBlue rosette crowd? Firstly I am not a Tory, and never have been. Secondly I have never defended Johnson, Sunak or any other MP that has broken the law.
Unfortunately in yours, any many others posters eyes, if you don’t support Labour and give their law breaking MP’s a free ride, then you must be a Tory.
I merely point out the hypocrisy in society and especially on this board, and will continue to do so.
