Boris tries a Trump?

'14 million votes in the last UK General Election' was the call that Boris tried to win the argument and prevent himself from getting kicked out of 10 Downing Street. Thursday, 12 December 2019, the Conservatives made a net gain of 48 seats and won 43.6% of the popular vote, the highest percentage for any party since 1979. In his apparent last days Boris wailed that it was he and only he that had won the last General Election and that he was the only figure that could overcome the drastic economic debacle that was emerging into the Autumn UK. Trumpy eh? 

The UK's voting is more similar than the USA that most UK voters might think. Voters vote for parties and the choice of local state party leaders are voted in by all voters including party members. What is different, and novel for the UK, is the decline of the US political parties, following from the independence of the President once he or she has collected the national vote, which allows presidential, independent leadership of the whole nation beyond and ahead of the parties.

Boris has tried to go beyond his party. He has called on the 14 million voters from 2019 over the head of his party when his parliamentary party began to overthrow him. But he is not a President, yet. And Boris has not called for an upsurge of his 2019 voters as his own followers, yet. For the moment he is 'over'.

But Boris has fixed a trick. His Tory government contenders are already battling for the role of a new Prime Minister. Boris is currently and personally very low in the polls. But the new reality of the UK's politics is extremely volatile. And the future of the UK is about to go through another convulsion when it proportionally becomes the worst European nation for food, heat and services. Boris is 'serving as PM until his party chooses its successor.'  He'll be around when the real shocks hit. He's not chosen his continuation until October for no reason. By October most inclined Tory members, who choose their a hundred thousand votes and then the government's final twosome, will be sick as to who will seize the crown. And by then millions in the UK will be in a new type of desperate condition, annoyed and despairing with the endless mucking about, and quite possibly building up to a new possible movement for the full return of Boris. UK Trump returns? 

The 'good old boys' that still really run the Tories cannot imagine this sort of tricky palaver. Of course fellow Etonians, even those who provided Boris's pet name 'the Yeti, would find Trumpian activities not at all the thing. Boris has his own view. He's not interested in public school UK history - except as a background for his domination. He wants a Russian war, adoration from his supporting plebs, wealth, twinkling with top capitalists and a desperate fear of a public, social and political society. He functions because the serious worried rich are scared without him and he surely feels he can still do a Trump.
