It surely will prompt fresh infighting, though Johnson was such a pyrrhic victory for the party that no single faction has the power to rule, all they can do is keep chipping away at each other. You have the One Nation lot, the ERG nutters, the Boris loyalists and the 2019 intake (distinct but overlapping groups), all headed up by the weakest Prime Minister we have seen for generations. So the squabbling will continue, leaking and counter-briefing, death by a thousand cuts as we trudge towards a General Election.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Really it should prompt an election.
That's why de pfeffel was encouraging MPs not to vote against: He lost the battle, and wanted a bargaining chip for lightening the inquiry into him and the chums trying to stop the first inquiry.
I'm glad this is happening, it shouldn't be acceptable to gum up the works of a valid investigation, then upon the gum being overcome walk off whistling.
