Anyone But BoJo
![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmWYLdEPykk3Mn6JqtE5rbi4rWhaGkhrv6YXpAzJg1dC3g)


Ok, almost anyone. Looks like Boris Johnson is a shoo-in to be the next prime-minister of England. I guess he has waited long enough since he was a candidate to takeover from David Cameron three years ago. Other than what i think is his fake image as a common man, here are a couple of reasons why i think he'd be a bad choice.

## False promises

I'd definitely prefer **Remain** but i'm not against Brexit as an idea. The thing i'm against is people like Farage and BoJo over-promising and lying to the public about how great a deal they're going to get, how Europe needs them blah blah blah when Britain's true bargaining power is a lot less than they imagine. 

The electorate does like to be seduced with lies but these porkies were pretty blatant and i'm surprised they let him get away with it. The sun has set on the British Empire. Vacuum cleaners and bladeless fans can only get you so far.

## Bad-faith negotiation

This is a more recent one. He says he will simply not pay the Brexit bill to the EU. Stiffing your small-time contractors is one thing but to stiff the entire EU when you need access to their markets? Reminds me of how some folks refuse to pay cabbies what the meter shows because the cabbie is out to 'scam' them. The worst sort of people.

---

Well, it looks inevitable that he becomes the PM and to be honest, he deserves to clean up the mess he started or at least take responsibility for the shit-show.
