Boris Johnson wins contest to be United Kingdom’s new prime minister

And yet they did announce her victory.
Do you honestly believe that polling firm are impartial and truthfull?

 

Ran across this today...

 

LOL - Now that I think about it, some of Parliament's rowdier sessions bear a striking resemblance to a room full of drunken Chavs screaming at each other.

 

LMAO - This is exactly what I was talking about:

We should do that in the House of Representatives. CSPAN's ratings would go through the roof!

 

No deal. Bye bye EU dictatoship.
The only new thing you are going to get from EU is flying tax that will kill all EU cheap flight companies. Clearing all compatituon for Luftanza.
Meanwhile UK companies will be the only solution for anyone who wants to fly with reasonable prices.

 

In many cases, people reporting on the polls...

... took a bunch of polls are extrapolated from them.

Most are because their business is typically doing polls for private clients. It wouldn't be good advertising if their polls were wildly wrong.

 

We'll they are all off for their summer holidays now so we will need to wait 6 weeks for the next episode.

 

It's great stuff when they're funny. The legislature in British Columbia was a laugh riot until they started televising sessions and the pols got scared they'd be recorded.

 

Those polls says exactly what their clients want them to say else they wouldn't be published...

 

Want some really great feel-good news? Boris Johnson has barely been in office 24 hours, and already he’s being declared the worst!

The Scottish National Party said [Boris] Johnson’s new government was “shaping up to be the worst since Thatcher” and was “packed full of extreme Brexiteers and rabid right-wingers who want to drag us back to a bygone era.”

“This is a Tory Cabinet from hell, which Donald Trump or Nigel Farage would be proud of — with members that want to scrap the Barnett formula, privatize the NHS, roll back workers’ rights, undo the welfare state, cut taxes for the rich, and even bring back the death penalty,” SNP MP Pete Wishart said.​

The “worst since Thatcher”!! This is the best endorsement I’ve heard yet for Johnson’s new government.

 

Sounds like our Congress. They spend more time on vacation than they do at work.

As long as they're not giving themselves pay raises that's a good thing.

 

There are no "clients" for the political polls you see unless they're exclusive to a news organization. They do in depth polls for political clients, but you don't see those.

 

Did you see alexa's video of the drunken Chavs screaming at one another in Post #222?

Jeremy Corbyn was reading from the same script as Pete Wishart.

 

The SNP is gearing up to take Scotland out of the UK.

 

If Corbyn was marginally competent, Brexit would have been dead long ago.

 

BORIS HAVE ARRIVED!

 

I think there would be a no confidence before Oct 31, if it appears that this is his plan.

 

The Loon Landing

 

They are already doing it, Nissan, Toyota and the Jaguar Land Rover Group is thinking about it.
Mini/BMW are looking into it.
Airbus will move its production in the UK if a Hard Brexit happens.
Over 200,000 jobs are on line in the car industry.
The Insurance and Banking sector is already on the move. 10,000 jobs just in the London area are moving out. Even Loyds of London is moving parts of its operation to Europe.
Frankfurt alone is expecting around 10,000 jobs

 

There would be no sitting if Boris prorogues Parliament. I take it you don't think he has the cojones to have the UK crash out of the EU without Parliament getting a vote.

 

No, he is not that much an idiot, he would destroy what ever political system the UK has left if he would do that.
As much as I remember May seamed to try that and parliament voted that it has the last say about Brexit. I may be wrong, but I think he has not the legal rights to do that.
Loony as he is he might try, but I do not think so.
He will put up a big show going to Brussels to show them who the boss is and than come home with neatly combed hair and than it will get interesting.

 

Why would a business set up production for the EU in the UK even with a Canada+ trade deal? It could be extremely painful to have your production for 500m people in a place with just 60m of those 500m on your side of a trade barrier. Better to have production where 450m people live.

Product standards? The UK will have precious little input. Brits will be rule-takers the way Canadians are in North America.

 

One more thing.
The new President of the EU Commission is as tough as stainless steel nails and does not hesitate to do and say things that are rather unpopular.
She was one of the most unpopular defense secretaries in Germany, disliked by the military, because she was not shy, to call things the way she saw it. But she was one of the longest serving and if there is a career breaker in Germany it is defense.
One more point, she is one of Merkel's protégées and has a very dear friend in Macron, she spear headed for him the EU defense thingy.
Tough as stainless nails and the 2 top leader of the EU as your buddies, who hoisted you in that position !

Good luck with her Boris.

 

Well, haven’t done it yet. Companies can claim all kinds of crap in an attempt to influence politicians.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus

So, Airbus has a final assembly facility outside of EU in the US and that’s OK, but it will be moving out of U.K.?
One begs to wonder - why?

Banking sector may or may not be hit. It depends on what the U.K. is going to do with its banking laws. UK can actually attract more from EU if it cuts some red tape.

Keep dreaming. The U.K. will be fine.

 

Exactly.
Nissan and Toyota are pulling out, because the car market with the EVs and the banns on Diesel, will require billions in investments into the UK plants. Japan has a free trade agreement with the EU since this year. The UK on the verge of Brexit, with no trade agreement with the EU in sight, is no more a place to invest in. They can move production back to Japan and than bring their product into the EU, without tariffs.
