Majority think Boris Johnson should resign as prime minister – poll

[AtW]

“ More people think Boris Johnson should resign as prime minister than think he should continue in office, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.

The first poll of 2021 found that 43% thought he should resign, while 40% said that he should remain as leader. However, most Conservative voters (87%) think Johnson should stay on as leader, with just 7% thinking he should resign. Just 20% believed Keir Starmer should resign as Labour leader, with 52% saying he should remain as leader.

There were also signs of a slight drop in support for the government’s handling of coronavirus. Some 72% (+4 on the last poll) think the government has not acted fast enough, with 42% (+4) thinking they are definitely not acting fast enough.”

Amazingly good numbers for Boris

Wow. That's like giving a toss who's leading the Grand National first time they pass the stands at Aintree.

Maybe they’ll think a bit more carefully before they vote for a clown next time.

“ More people think <insert whatever PM is in power during an unprecedented time> should resign as prime minister than think he should continue in office, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.

IMO Run the same poll about any PM handling any crisis and the result will be the same. On the whole it's got sod all to do with the person. Whichever poor sap is in power when something hits will get treated the same. It's just the way it is. People don't get what they want so they want someone to blame and it's the person at the top. If it's not the left that are up in arms it's the right.
It's not like he got voted in by 100% of the people either so included in that percentage are the people that would want him out even if he's done the perfect job. Imean.. 20% of people want Kier to resign and he's done f all.

Unfortunately there was a pratfall of clowns last election. Makes you shudder.

There was a choice of idiot 1 or idiot 2 for most people so they choose idiot.

Quite. A dead hedgehog would have been a better PM than Germy Carbuncle.

[Hobosapien]

Aye, if bozo goes who would be fit to replace him that isn't just more of the same or worse?
