For balance.

Just asking, is Boris Johnson speaking in front of a parking full of empty Jeep pickups ?

Nope. That’s Bozo winning his seat at the last general election. He was up against some stiff opposition. Sadly, the Raving Loony Monster Party didn’t field a candidate.

The election for each seat in the House of Commons is a local election. Naturally if a candidate happens to be the leader of a party, jokers are likely to stand against him.

There isn't a general election for Prime Minister in Britain. The House of Commons acts as an electoral college. It works but we don't have enough checks and balances -- I like the US system of limiting the President's power to Foreign Policy and the Military, so that any domestic policy he wants to bring in can only be done by persuading members of Congress. Lyndon Johnson was good at persuading, I believe.

As for the photos, I don't see why people shouldn't put up flags and poster to support their favourite politicians or football teams, if they want to. Enthusiasm isn't insanity.
