LTI 'He got voted in by the people of the UK with a landslide victory for his party.
er-no he didn't. He won in his constituency, other MPS won in theirs. Now-representing far more people than he does-they are removing him.
Pretty basic stuff for anybody who has any constitutional knowledge.

''You are saying there is something undemocratic about the removal of Johnson.''
The democratic vote gave him a year before he could be challenged again.
LTI.
What I'm talking about is this my learned and gracious friend.
You are saying there is something undemocratic about the removal of Johnson.
There is not. He has no personal mandate. He had a mandate in his constituency, irrelevant here.
He was chosen by a majority of his mps, who all have a mandate from their constituencies.They are now unchoosing him meaning that mandate has gone.
If you don't understand that, you shouldn't get involved in constitutional debates.
It doesn't get more democratic than that.
Tories will eat each other up eventually, I don't really care that much. The instability of any change of UK Prime Minister will be unwelcome and I can imagine which way that will send bank shares.

"embarrassing liar for a PM we are a laughing stock of the world"
agree re lying but I think we have a lot of competition for that particular title.
"get into gear because you look a fool"
What is it about this board?
Cant anyone express an opposite view without insults being hurled?
'Maybe everyone who passed a driving test before July 1996, should now have to do a theory test in order to keep their driving licence.'
lti is on a roll - he is correct; with the recent changes to the highway code a resit of the theory test would be a good idea. Bear in mind that foreigners can just trade their overseas license for a UK one so I would include all foreigners as well.
Another post recommended...

I get your point but come on look at the damage this liar has done , god knows who will take over but we cannot have an embarrassing liar for a PM we are a laughing stock of the world
Lti
Hardup not as clever as you .
Maybe everyone who passed a driving test before July 1996, should now have to do a theory test in order to keep their driving licence.
Well Johnson will not resign and will carry on the greased piglet may even get out of this latest predicament
“ Yes they could have changed their mind at a time governed by the rule that was in place when a democratic vote was held”
And at the point of the vote did the moron declare ALL of the bombs behind him.
Nope.
What else is to come out?
LTI please engage your brain into gear.
One of the wisest things you have posted in a while; post recommended.
Maybe DC could have changed the rule regarding the 2016 referendum afterwards, to make a 2 thirds majority as a minimum requirement to take the UK out of the EU.

''people can change their mind''
Yes they could have changed their mind at a time governed by the rule that was in place when a democratic vote was held.
LTI
You are starting to sound like the useless moron Boris himself.
he has a trail of destruction behind him with weekly updates on his pis poor decisions he made whilst partying and carrying on, clearly out of his depth, damn right people can change their mind on updated news that he tried to lie about again and send the minions out to protect him.
LTI you seem half intelligent, get into gear because you look a fool.

He got voted in by the people of the UK with a landslide victory for his party.
The electoral knew who the leader of the conservatives was when they voted - it makes a difference. Does anyone think that someone like Dominic Grieve or Philip Hammond would have secured such a majority as leader.

''but parties elect leaders and elections determine which party has a majority.
It isn't really a vote for one individual person for five years is it?''
As I said above the leader makes a difference to the electorate when voting.
The party chooses the leader by laid out rules - so is in getting rid of the leader.
Unfortunately the rule that was followed giving the pm at least an extra year via a democratic vote is being ripped up with a new rule overriding a democratic vote and what that vote meant.
It's compulsory for your kids to be gay and woke , move to Aberdeen with stropey peeps . Gazz and big mac .
LTI- He doesn't have a personal mandate. He's not a president. You clearly don't understand our electoral system.
The conservatives and Brexit had a mandate. That is not embodied in one person: get a grip.
lti
"I cannot abide it that a reversal of democratic vote is being attempted or will succeed."
I get your point but parties elect leaders and elections determine which party has a majority.
It isn't really a vote for one individual person for five years is it?
Blair led us into an illegal war and essentially got a way with it. Our Priminster has a slice of cake and everyone wants him gone. The British public are fical.
The 'people of the UK' do not vote for the leader of the CONservatives. If you not know how the game works do not moan when the result upsets you.

I like to see a democratic vote/rule upheld. That should always be the case.
LTI
Absolutely bull sh.te he’s gone and good riddings complete waste of time and a compulsive liar , another year are you some sort of fool ?

I don't think he should resign - He got voted in by the people of the UK with a landslide victory. He then won a confidence vote.
Another confidence vote should have been a minimum 12 months later.
Any change in rule should have come into effect after that 12 month period.
Doesn't make for stable government when a PM's leadership can be challenged
every week.
