little malc Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Boris Johnson has just declared he's going to campaign for Brexit, at last a big hitter has joined the out team. Will this make a big difference to the out vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this make a big difference to the out vote? If he can get the cheeky girls signed up, then that would be magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechpete Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 One thing that surprises me about this is that if Boris wants to be PM, he won't want a high profile defeat on his CV. And it seems all the political pundits think this move is a calculated one rather than a choice of the heart. So he either genuinely thinks he can win it for the leave campaign, or he's decided to make publicity out of his decision not to support the PM, but won't be seen to campaign openly.

He will be the best man to take us out of the EU when brexit wins, hopefully Cameron will stand down when he loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how sharing a platform with Farage and gorgeous George can possibly enhance his status as a serious politician. My guess is that he will stay out of the limelight for the time being. If Brexit looks likely, expect him to wade in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't leave the EU. When it comes to it, most people will vote as realists, for the status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the Michael Portillo situation when he set up an headquarters for a leadership contest with a load of telephone lines during the 2001 election campaign while William Hague was the Tory leader . I hope we vote to leave the EU , but hope sneaky Boris doesn't replace Cameron as PM . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
