Faced with a series of defections, some sixty in total, Boris Johnson left the head of the Conservative Party on Thursday, but intends to remain Prime Minister until the appointment of his successor. In the United Kingdom, the reactions are rather unanimous following this political earthquake, with a feeling of relief which predominates.
After around sixty departures from his government in a few days, Boris Johnson has announced that he will leave the head of the Conservative party and therefore his position as Prime Minister by the fall. In the United Kingdom, the reactions are rather unanimous following this political earthquake, with a feeling of relief which predominates.
“He should have resigned months ago”
The departure of Boris Johnson is a sigh of relief for Anna and Nicole. These two London retirees hate the character and have been waiting for this moment for a long time. “Actually, I thought he would never leave, but that’s great. But he should have quit months ago when he got his holiday fine during lockdown,” said one. them at the microphone of Europe 1. “Partying when the queen was alone for the funeral of her husband, it was really the worst. It was inhuman and contemptuous”.
“You can’t take people for idiots”
The “Party Gate” scandal is also what disappointed Andrew the most. “He only gets what he deserves,” sighs this Conservative voter, who had voted for Boris Johnson in 2019. “You can’t take people for idiots and hope you get out of it. That’s what he did and he shamelessly lied to everyone and it undid all the good things he could have done.”
He hopes the next leader of the Conservatives restores an image of integrity in government. Like him, around 70% of Britons are satisfied with the departure of Boris Johnson.
