It's often said "if you're in a hole, stop digging" not a proposition Boris seems familiar with.
Realistically the alternative is Labour, who may need a deal with LibDems or SNP. This would simply expose left/centre rifts that still exist.
Not all Tories should be tarred with the Boris amorality brush - if he goes the priority will be a safe pair of hands.
Both Tories and Labour will then be lead by the equally uninspiring. Politics will revert to the tedious, predictable and offend no one. Aspiration and ambition will be buzz words unencumbered by the reality of delivery.
