Having Johnson as PM makes everything clearer. Either he will push Brexit through or there will be a 2nd referendum.

In or out, a decision has to be made.

Johnson implied he knows how to walk over water.



It would be better for him he skips that plan and instead knows where the stepstones lie. Else his first 100 days could very well be his last. As a German commentator wrote today: from tomorrow on he will start to break promises. Well, very likely he will, since he cannot please the Brexit hardliners and the EU-friends in his party at the same time. Not to mention the public's diverse opinion camps.

I think that no-deal leave would be the best option for UK now.

If he doesn't deliver Brexit on 31st October I suspect his tenure in Downing St. will be short lived.

The stubbornly impertinent question here is whether or not a Brexit based on the EU deal "as is" and including the Backstop, qualifies for the description of a Brexit or not. ;)



Johnson promised some people the left, while he promsied others the right, and he promsied some the forward while he promsied others the backwards, only to get all their support. He now must either sit still where he is and would thus break ALL promises he made, or he must break some promises the moment he makes his first step at whatever direction.

Boris will loose his rag with Parliament and the EU and plunge this country is to a nightmare scenario.

It will be a blood bath in Parliament when they come back from their summer break.

This does not matter much, since he's changing his attitude and opinion daily by a 180 degrees.
So he will take every challenge, one at a day.

Seriously, i wonder what has happened to the political landscape recently.. but i must say i still prefer idiots with good intentions though :D
