Western Europe's smartest man wins it! Go Boris!
 
Could we then conclude we are looking at a likely no-deal Brexit, quickly followed by the UK economy finding a new floor to build up from?

Too soon to tell, I think. We dont know what Boris is planning because he keeps his cards close to his chest. But I do think the EU will now be quaking in their boots since Boris is prepared to fight dirty, unlike May who tried to appease them.
 
sad news...

and what kind of pressure do you think he can build up that they quake in their boots PoS? Possibly pissing off all of Britains neighbpours completely? Sounds like a clever plan...

Lol you are delusional. The EU has already stated that the deal on the table is the only deal that there will be.

Boris also has a majority against him in Parliament and will most likely be facing a vote of no confidence.

He's not PM yet, and there is a slim possibility that he won't be. He has to be able to command a majority in the HoC.

If the no confidence vote has the majority, does Johnson step aside?

Nope. No deal won't happen.

The EU are laughing at us. This is the racist idiot who was so bad at his job as Foreign Secretary, he got an innocent British woman in an Iranian jail a longer prison sentence because he didn't care enough about facts.
 
Congratulations, UK.

You, not me (better said 17 million of you, or said even better, round 92,000 of you) got yourself the PM you deserve.

Empire revival is now just around the corner with the next thing being the Union Jack flying over the Hormuz Strait while the EU rolls over backward to give us all everything we want.

I hear Barnier is already crapping his pants.

Some posts are best ignored.
 
Is this the end of the UK as we know it? Is this the end of the Northern Ireland peace process? Will the UK go into a recession sooner rather than later? Will the conservative government fall? Will there be a new election?

I am not sure but one or more of these answers will most likely be answered with "YES".
 
Good luck to Prime Minister Johnson.

Like the United States, the United Kingdom is in a historic transition period.

It is experiencing the same unpleasant consequences as the States.

Sadly, there is no reason to think that he will be successful.

Yes, both the UK and US are experiencing racist, self-absorbed populists as leaders.

imagine looking at America's racist moron president in his ****ty shapeless suit with that ****ed up tangle of yellow bull**** on top of his big dumb pumpkin head, yammering incoherently like a low-wattage imbecile and thinking "oh yeah, my country should have one of these, too"

You sure about that? The EU seems adamant about whatever the existing deal on the table was, assuming for a moment that deal is still good. And Boris will probably try to overplay a hand and end up having to deal with Parliament, not on his side, over the mess.

When you have, as we do, senior members of the Tory party saying they would bring down a Tory government to avoid no deal, and parliament as a whole is fundamentally opposed to no deal, I can't see how it can happen.
 
Great Britain's Brexit issue has, it appears, been treated in a similar manner as the immigration issue in this country. In both instances the issues have been set aside while all manner of political games were played. In Britain, the games were centered on who would occupy 10 Downing Street. In the US, it's who will occupy the White House. Both issues remain unresolved.

There are other parallels. Both national leaders seem to be unconcerned with, shall we say politely, exactitude in their pronouncements and writings. Neither has put forward a detailed plan of how they will go about resolving the problems before them.

And so it goes.

Britain was jealous of the US, and now has their own Donald Trump, but with fewer porn stars

There's lots of things he can do. If Boris decides to play hardball, then he can withhold the final payments to the EU if the UK doesnt get a better deal- that would definitely make the EU technocrats turn chicken. Trump likes him so he can get an improved trade agreement with the US to soften the blow in case of a no-deal Brexit, and so on.
