9. He will be Prime Minister without an election - that is the way it works here

He will be voted leader of the Tory party and as the tory party is the party in power he will automatically become PM without having to go to the polls.

He may call an early election but I don't think he will.

What I think will happen is as follows:

Boris will try and force through a no deal Brexit as PM
Parliament will tell him to take a hike and bring forward a vote of no confidence in his government
The Queens will dissolve Parliament and call an election
The Conservatives and the Brexit Party will form an alliance to split the vote in Labour heartlands that voted Brexit but would never vote for the Conservative Party
There will be a coalition Conservative / Brexit Party government with the majority in Parliament and they will insist based on this that the country has voted for a no deal Brexit
The government under Boris will last about 18 months until the full effects on the economy of a no deal Brexit become clear
At that point who the hell knows what will happen...

FUN TIMES
