OP
This is a bad number for Boris. He can't get much done with so many in his own party opposed.

But I think it's debatable whether more than 40% of your own party very publicly stating that they want you to take a hike is a win.

One for former member Neil Parish (porn) and one for former member Imran Ahmad (sexual assault).

(7,242 posts)6. Quite a few of us are not unhappy in some ways to see Johnson limp on,
given how much of a liability he's become for the Tories, according to recent polling.
Also, the 1922 Commitee rules do state he can't be challenged within the party again for 12 months, but those rules can be changed.

That doesn't guarantee his staying in power that long.
