If there is surely he just needs to whip them to vote for it and when they don't he could kick the lot out and take control of the party. Be hilarious to see a one man party with access to all the bank accounts filled with dodgy Russian cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The press will be briefed by both sides at the moment, both will be giving the view that benefits them, so unless it’s from the horses mouth (as in from an MP or somebody involved) don’t believe it. (And even then - question it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be careful so as not to lose the Tory majority But its definitely an interesting ploy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd never manage with that picture of him in tightey whities out there. No doubt there would be a very nasty media campaign with thinly veiled homophobia and outdated insinuations or perversion.

sidcow Posted July 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) For those who have ever wondered what it would have been like if Screaming Lord Sutch and the Official Monster Raving Loony Party had ever won an election.

I don't think he can without certain criteria being met, although I'm certainly no expert. Even the most awful offenders are only suspended while investigations are ongoing, whereas defiant voters have been binned pretty sharpish.
