Is Boris Johnson A Conservative?

[Khandro]

I know the Pope is a catholic, but I'm no longer certain if Johnson is a real Conservative, he seems to be what could be described as a Metropolitan- Liberal - Green, to me.

[dannyk13]

Why would you think that?

[emmie]

no i think he is still a Conservative at heart, he is however being swayed into Green issues where he should leave them to the Environment agencies.

[naomi24]

How would you define a Conservative, Khandro?

[naomi24]

We know you do, gully.

[grumpy01]

Boris is a journalist,author and has somehow or other become Prime Minister.The cracks are appearing and the honeymoon period is over.

[gulliver1]

Boris is on his way at last ....end of.

[naomi24]

gully .... is this really the end ... or is this just your daily assurance that it is the end?

[bhg481]

For the sake of the Conservative party I really hope it is the end.

[dannyk13]

As usual Gulliver has gone off topic.The question is whether Boris is a conservative.

[emmie]

i think he still is a Conservative.

[grumpy01]

He represents the Conservative party.Does that mean he is Conservative?

[youngmafbog]

No, as I have written on here many times, he is no. Khandros description of him is perfect.

To me it seems he is heavily influenced by his wife, there is a noticeable difference since Cummings left too.

Danny, do you really have to ask 'why would you think that'?

Have you seen his policies of late? Highest tax ever, ballooning State, unaffordable green policies, economically illiterate, massive State spending (and no I am not talking Covid). That is what he is for now. That is the total opposite of Conservatism.

[douglas9401]

Some say he's a spineless chancer with only one interest, himself.

Others will defend him right up to the point where their ramblings take them to the very edge of zeal before turning on other posters with spite and venom.

[youngmafbog]

Just belonging to a Party doesnt mean you believe in it. Other Parties such as labour have been infiltrated in the past too.

I think Boris was a Tory when elected but has allowed his little head to rule over the one on his shoulders.

[dannyk13]

ymb. so are you saying that he is a liberal, labour or what?

[Cloverjo]

Boris is whatever anyone wants him to be.

[naomi24]

Of course he's a Conservative. Times change, the world changes, and situations change. You can hardly expect him to ignore that which the world seems to be acknowledging but which you consider unworthy of attention. This thread is a nonsense.

[bhg481]

I think ymb is saying that Boris is the leader of the Boris fan club party and I agree with him.

[youngmafbog]

//This thread is a nonsense//

You are no better than the dye hard labour voters who would vote a donkey in if it had a red rosette on.

Are you honestly saying the policies I high lit above are Conservative ones? If they are perhaps I should find another Party.

I'm getting more and more convinced by the day you are a relative.
