Of course it can! The leader of any party can make all the difference.

Indeed. And BoJo like JC has promised to be fiscally irresponsible. BoJo's way is by cutting taxes for the well off.

Will be interesting to see how BoJo performs on Tuesday night. This article suggests he is guilty of being all things to all people. That's easier to pull off in multiple one-to-one meetings than on a TV debate.

Boris Johnson has been accused of giving MPs contradictory promises on Brexit to win their votes, as one of his highly Eurosceptic backers warned that hardliners want to see him effectively tear up Theresa May’s deal with the EU.
The Conservative leadership frontrunner will face questions on his Brexit stance in a television grilling for the first time in the campaign on Tuesday, amid frustration among his rivals that he is getting away with pledging to be “all things to all MPs” on issues from Brexit to HS2 in one-on-one meetings with them.

Cutting taxes for the better off has been shown to increase tax take, but you carefully avoid that little fact. You are promoting the politics of envy. There is nothing fiscally irresponsible in Boris's tax proposals, but I think you know that.

Boris won't, actually, even taking account of the buffonery.
However, Corbyn would soon cripple the economy as he dances with his terrorist friends.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
Johnson is not the Messiah although he may at some point been a very naughty boy.
It is weird to see grown adults trying (and it seems succeeding) to convince themselves that someone who is a proven liar (many times) without a principled bone in his body is a fit and proper person to lead this country in this most perilous of times.
We have posters says that "maybe the civil service will protect us from him", really? Is this really where we have ended up? I really do despair.

There's just no pleasing you is there,if he gets the job it's via a democratic process as per the party rule book.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
I have serious misgivings about BoJo. However I have far more serious misgivings about Jeremy Corbyn, and also John McDonnell who is very likely to succeed him within the next 5 years.
We do have a system of cabinet government in this country so comparisons between Boris Johnson and Donald Trump only get us so far. The cabinet restrains a PM, and yes, the civil service does as well. Above all, PM Boris, if indeed he wins it, will still have a wafer thin parliamentary majority for at least the next 2 years.
I agree it’s sad when we’re reduced to choosing between the least-worst candidates for the job, but when it comes to it there is absolutely no way I ever want to see Corbyn and the failed, mid-20th century statist politics he represents, ruling over this country. I don’t think Boris Johnson can do worse than that, and given the current polling data it seems he is most likely to be able to prevent it. On that basis I’d rather see him in No.10.

Loving the expression: "democratic process as per the party rule book" Something Stalin would have been proud of! (Cue the Corbyn retort )
The Tory Party membership: a true and honest reflection of this country's opinions & values
