Tory Elites Plot to Bring Down Govt if Boris Becomes Leader
[BREITBART] A number of establishment Tory MPs are planning to bring down the Government if Boris Johnson is elected party leader and tries to implement a No Deal Brexit.One minister warned that as many as 12 Tory MPs would vote against Mr Johnson if he tried to introduce a Queen’s Speech featuring a No Deal Brexit. Such a move would mean that a Boris-led party would not be able to command a majority in the House of Commons. The minister continued, saying: "Boris cannot form a government, certainly not on a No Deal platform and probably not on any other." The minister went on to stress that even with support from Northern Ireland’s Brexit-supporting Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), who currently have a "confidence and supply" deal with the Conservative Party to give their minority government a majority in the Commons, the majority would be too slim to deliver a No Deal Brexit opposed by a dozen or more Tory MPs. The minister said that "even with the DUP on board, that is the majority gone. Then we are straight into an election." Posted by: Fred 2019-05-20 |
