And again imo, it will make little difference who is the actual representative for each party, I dont think personal views really come into it much, its just a case of appeasing those around you and doing what your advisors...advise. Especially in the case of Boris! I think he at least does know that hes a bit nuts (better than the large amount of politicians who are idiots, but arent aware of this) and as such is going to be more than happy to let others take the reigns as it were.
On the plus side for Boris, he is a FUCKING legend. He used to do talks at Henley College where I went for 2 years all the time, and they were simply amazing. The place would be absoloutely rammed with students firing questions at him something similar to "Do you take mushrooms mate?". He'd start his bumbling answer, then his helper/advisor person who he ALWAYS had by his side would whisper something along the lines of "dont answer that..." in his ear, and hed sit back down looking a bit grumpy
Hes got my phone number 'n all. He sounded so genuinely keen to come down to a party I was having
. I'm against the whole splitting off thing, which seems to still be extremely unpopular. Despite that, they keep pushing for it.
