The morons alive and kicking on here, 30% think he’s doing a good job? Surely no one with an iq over 10 thinks this.

I'm not sure it says that, the choice was "better than expected."
Boris has currently lost all his votes in Parliament, attempted a failed negotiation strategy with the EU of "if you don't go along with me, I'll blow MY country up" and with a slender majority of having a slightly better conker than Corbyn has sacked 21 MPs.
Finally he is now trying to resurrect Brexit Plan Zero which leaves Northern Ireland in the EU and completely loses the support of the DUP.
Having read a couple of books about the man's career so far, I voted "Better Than Expected".
Hope that clears it up.

51.9 % ? Very harsh to include the ~30% who didn't vote, and anyone under 22 in your round up [emoji38]ol:

FWIW I voted as expected.
I'd like to change that to worse than expected.
...and I had VERY low expectations.

You talk about a damaging stalemate for years which sounds very much like the situation we'll find ourselves in after Brexit when we have to renegotiate free trade deals with the leading economies of the world, many of whom we already have free trade deals with now.
The joke is that many supporters of Brexit think after we've left we can simply return to the way it was debating crime, education, NHS etc. The fact is the government will have to spend just as much time on sourcing free trade deals as they've spent on Brexit AND do it with a loaded gun against their heads as the economy tanks because we're out of the Single Market with No Deal.
Every country we negotiate with - starting with the USA - will know we are over a barrel and that doesn't make for a successful trade deal.
That sounds like Project Fear - it all does. (To those who could either not care less, or are too hyped up about 'winning'.)
Other than that, your post speaks truthfully and accurately, yet will still be scorned.

As opposed to years of objections over ruling appeals and neither in or out. The EU are shiting themselves that we leave because it’ll be first of many and for a little Island we are still I big enough power to survive and prosper. As I keep saying didn’t want out but it has to be carried out and we won’t suddenly become an irrelevant nation. Who knows we could be the first get the best deals?
The Governments own papers say the EU will be fine with out us.
Why would a country give us a good deal if we are over a barrel ?
Big scoop from @Byline_Media - extraordinary amounts of money amounting to £8.3bn placed by Boris Johnson and Vote Leave backers on a no deal crashout on 31 October #Disast
An interesting observation from a journo on last weekend’s excellent wireless program: Pienaar's politics.
Along the lines of the Pro-Leave demonstrators outside Parliament are mostly known ‘faces’ from far rights groups such as the EDL, Britain First and the Football Lads’ Alliance. They were chanting the name ‘Boris Johnson’.
Parallels with the Sturmabteilung are unavoidable.
Scary times.

He has united the far right and for that he should be applauded.

The 80 that voted "better than expected" must be easily pleased... The bloke has done nothing since becoming PM apart from losing every vote he has put forward, illegally closed down parliament , no sniff of a real EU deal and lost about half of his cabinet.
I'm not pro any of the current parties, but can a few of the 80 that voted here please explain what he's actually done that's better than expected?

He's still Prime Minister? As you say - it all depends on your initial expectations!

He correctly answered a question posed by a primary school teacher who’s class he sat in on yesterday. Fact he answered it at all is pretty good going as politicians go.
I thought he'd be a smear left after his roadkill former self had been multicrunched. Instead he's still staggering around under the traffic, blood spraying as directed by Sam Peckinpah. So it's a 'better than expected' from me.

If the Houses Of Parliament don't get the Reichstag/ seaside pier insurance job treatment then I will revert to 'as shit as expected' .......... at the moment I can only think his ilk getting some yahoos to burn the place down could make him any worse.

The EU will grant an extension. They don't want the UK to leave. To me, control of the whole situation is pretty much out of Johnson's hands now.
I sincerely hope you're correct.
