The irony is that the public voted for Boris in huge numbers and then the party did everything to replace and undermine him as they did with Theresa May.
Of course, he would've gotten less votes this election than he did 5 years ago but still, if they had kept Boris in for 5 years or called for new general elections instead of appointing Liz Truss the drop-off likely wouldn't have been as big as it is now. I can't recall another time when party infighting undermined the actual governance of a country like this.
This is truely a case of 'what the fuck where they thinking?'.
