An advantage he has over May was that she was trying to deliver Brexit and hold the parliamentary party together.
He seems to be setting up for a General Election and then trying to put the party back together afterwards.
As for delivering Brexit. A deal built on the bones of May’s has the advantage of being quick to put together and being acceptable to the EU... but probably not Parliament. Something completely new... he’s given no indication of what that might be, time is short, and the EU are unlikely to take anything seriously without him being able to demonstrate the backing of parliament... and his majority is tiny and unstable. He knows this and I think he’s setting up to blame the EU for not agreeing a deal and parliament for blocking no deal.
Lets be honest, nobody could deliver leaving the EU, Boris will hve a few months in the limelight/spotlight/541t, call a GE, we'll end up with another coalition government and he'll get some role(s) in various businesses, he hardly needs the money.
Party politics, at the moment, is dead. Conservative/Labour, you cant put a cigarette paper between them on CURRENT policy.
As for democracy, it has never existed, I have worked for many years with governmemt departments (local and national), we think we vote for change, but all we vote for is a different head of the same snake.
