Are you suggesting that Boris is the one holding it together? Yikes.
He is where the various factions focus their power. And he has (some) legitimacy with some of the electorate. Again, sorry if you do not like that, I do not like it much either. If he was to go, precious time would be wasted as that power is realigned. It is not something we need right now.
All that before what it might say for our country's ability to function in this new world we find ourselves in, should it turn out that our PM both gets it and gets incapacitated by it despite all the resources thrown at him to make sure he pulls through.

Serious question though: is the current situation not one in which the civil service left to its own devices + some caretaker PM might actually be more quietly efficient than all the politicians on top? Are they really adding all that much at the moment?
Sure, at least in the UK they're maybe not openly obstructionist like in the US, but still...

Good point

The most important time was wasted before now. We had a few weeks to be proactive in tracing and eliminating spread. A lot of time is now being used covering for that decision.

Less that he's holding it together, more that with him there, it's not falling apart.
Yet.

I understand that it could give wind to a lot of tory infighting, thougj, which is good/bad.
