JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE TINY MEMBERSHIP OF A POLITICAL PARTY GETS TO PICK BRITAIN'S NEW PRIME MINISTER UNDER PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY - AND IT SELECTS A MAN OF TRUMP'S VIEWS AND POOR TASTE

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN CBC NEWS



“Boris Johnson wins Conservative leadership, to become U.K. PM

“Party members voted Tuesday morning to give Brexit champion the top job, replacing Theresa May on Wednesday”



That's parliamentary democracy for you.

Tiny Conservative Party membership decides next Prime Minister.

And that following years of dangerous blundering foolishness, as with BREXIT and Iran, from David Cameron and Theresa May.

By the way, I often refer to Boris as Donald Trump with an Eton accent and schoolboy looks.

His views truly are quite close to those of the man making a mess of the world from Washington.

And he has often indulged in insulting individuals and groups in public.

Very reassuring.
