Maybe they shouldn't have voted for him just a thought.

[-] talab@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

They didn't though.

He became PM through an internal Tory vote for a leader, after the previous PM stepped down. She became leader in exactly the same way and had only lasted a seven weeks since her predecessor was forced to quit.

The Tories are truly awful, and their choice of leaders has shown that.

I feel like by now they know what they're getting by voting Tory. They got exactly what they voted for.

The Tories got a minority of the vote at the last election. Most people voted non-Tory. Most people voted for a second referendum.

Which party sold out and made a minority government with the Tories?

[-] theinspectorst@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

None. They got a minority of the vote. They got a majority of the seats. It's FPTP.

He was not elected, not by the country and not even by the members of his own party.
