Correct. I didn't vote for Bush. That also wasn't the point.
No one "has" to go to war, TI. We don't have a draft, the military is voluntary.

Him being PM and saying he wants a new deal doesn't matter. It's simply not possible if he sticks to the current UK position on its caveats.No 4 freedoms of movement (specifically people)
No alignment with trade policy (as it will restrict the UK'S ability to make seperate trade agreements with non EU countries)
No involvement of the European Court of Justice in the UK
No financial contributions to the EU
Regulatory autonomy around things like food standardsUnless he gives up one or more of those things it is simply impossible to get a deal as it would open the EU up being forced to renegotiate it's existing deals with the rest of the world as they could no longer claim those countries need to adhere to their standards if the UK doesn't yet still gets a deal.
IYO, do you think Johnson will concede some positions or do a no-deal exit?

No. I think he wants a No Deal. Even if it causes problems he can just blame it on May taking too long and there not being enough time to get a better deal people will lap it up. People have short memories when it comes to politics. They forget that all the pro leave Tory big guns had the chance to be Prime Minister 3 years ago when David Cameron stepped down after losing the referendum. They all withdrew from the leadership contest because they knew they couldn't deliver their promises. Now they're saying it would be better if a leave supporter had been in charge since the referendum. When none of them wanted the job.

Boris Johnson withdrew because Michael Gove stood for the position after promising he wouldn't. His promise was because he claimed he had full support for Boris Johnson, only to run against him after he announced he'd run.
Unsurprisingly, Gove got slated this time round, beating only back-benchers. Boris was always seen as the true successor, which was part of May's unpopularity. I don't think Gove will even keep his seat.
I understand that Boris will point to this mess as a handy excuse, which it kinda is, but please understand that it was Gove that caused this mess, not May.
No deal is likely to happen, imo.

Also the canal-ways there are literally open sewers so have fun dying from illness that you have no immunity to...but then again you survived Nigeria...
I'm retiring to Thailand anyway, so It will never be my permanent home again.
