NO one in their right mind would bet against Boris being elected Prime Minister shortly but I think Conservatives should be wary of the law of unintended consequences.
It should not take long before Boris the buffoon makes mistakes that bring about a vote of no confidence presaging a General Election.
I know the other political parties are not exactly stable entities that fill electors with confidence, but the Tories will not regain power for many years.
Be careful what you wish for.
