Boris is going to be in No. 10 for ten years

5. That's what I was wondering,

but of course, I'm an outsider looking in.

But I did wonder whether a lot of Brits are just fed up with Brexit dragging on and on, and with Corbyn in power, it would take years more, in all probability.

With so many rusted-on Labour seats going to the Tories, is it perhaps just a temporary hiccup, and once it's done and dusted, many of those people who deserted Labour would go back? Especially as I don't think Boris is the brightest crayon in the box and (a) is likely to stuff up somewhere along the line, and (b) will probably break most of his promises anyway.

When there's such a radical shift, there always has to be a trigger, and I can't see anything except Brexit. Surely it can't be the prospect of socialism; public ownership of the health system and transport in particular worked very well when I lived in London, and I never felt that there were a lot of unhappy people about.
