The Tories couldn't call a general election (thank God). The date is set by the Government, unless they lose a vote of no confidence in the Commons...
Who would go about calling a vote of no conference?
brown (i'm i'm wrong - sorry)

arguably its about who gets put in the seat of manipulation. perhaps if its a loveable baffoon all the people who try to pull his strings might change for the better

too many people get caught up in the public 'buffoon' image of Johnson, he has a lot more substance that a lot of other politicians.

Could someone explain what the aggro is with bendy buses? I've seen them in manchester but they seems to piss londoners off big time. Boris wants to scrap them and put in place the old buses doesnt he? Surely a massive waste of time.

Has the accident rate really spiralled since they have been introduced? I know that england isnt really the safest place for cyclists anyway. Sorry for all the questions its just something thats always confused me..

It's the Commons as a whole. But for the motion to pass it relys on the support of the backbench MPs of the party in government (i.e. Labour), since they obviously hold a majority.
Brown's doing badly, but I'd be suprised if the Labour MPs looked to forcefully overthrow him in this manner.
The last PM to get overturned like that was James Callahan in 1979 after the 'Winter of Discontent. - things aren't that bad yet!

Looking bleak for Ken.
I can just imagine the smug grin on Boris' inbred, Etonian face.
I am officially renoucing my faith in the voting public. If the Tories win the next general election I'll fucking emigrate.
