Political Thinking - If There's an Election, Who's Boris Johnson to Face the Electorate?

Ned geffrey donaldson has been in and around politics for long enough know that if he doesn't carry out his threat, he'll be accused of being the grand old duke of york. Either boris johnson has to deliver the change to those trading rules that he so craves, or he has to face the electorate. Why would he take such a risk, you might wonder? Particularly when the d u p are doing so badly in the poles,. My hunch is that he thinks that he can rally unionist votes. He may even think of it as a win win. It's sure quite a gamble.
