I am thinking the only way Boris is still in power is because he has so much dirt on everyone else in the parliament that no one will dare to actually get rid of him.
It was fairly harmless fun and games when he was Mayor of London as the damage was limited a bit, but this current shambles is baffling in the extreme.
I will never forget the faces of those brexiteer donkeys at the press conference on the morning of their "victory" like a bunch of 5 year olds trying to explain how they didn`t cut each others hair whilst holding the scissors and standing in a pile of hair.
They never for one moment expected to win, it was a gamble for personal gain and they actually followed it through just to save face. Muppets.

I don't think he has dirt on others; it's basically due to a process of:
1. Promise the country an attractive impossibility (that you know you can't possibly deliver, but it doesn't matter because you won't win anyway)
2. Win, unexpectedly
3. Run away and leave others to clear up the mess
4. Unsurprisingly, others (who have some shred of honesty and decency) fail to deliver the impossible (because, you know, reality)
5. The public get annoyed waiting for their attractive impossibility
6. Come back as the only choice left
7. Eradicate any remotely competent or decent remaining MPs from your party
8. Promise the electorate you'll definitely deliver the attractive impossibility
9. Get elected
10. Surround yourself with the most incompetent, malevolent, inept, morons known to mankind
There's essentially no one left in the Conservative party to challenge him; at least in the sense of being a) competent, and b) attractive/entertaining to the electorate, so the party leaves him there. I suppose any remaining rational party members probably hope that Boris will eventually go down in flames (without doing too much further damage to the party) then they can get someone competent in.
Obviously none of this was helped by Labour being unable to connect with the electorate - but granted it's difficult when your opponent is promising people the Earth, in a way that appears to be convincing enough that sufficient voters believed the con.
