Following in the footsteps of Theresa May… Johnson survived the vote, but faltered

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson emerged from a vote of confidence in the ruling Conservative Party last night as “wobbly” according to observers despite his numerical victory as he lost 148 of the party’s 359 MPs compared to the 211 MPs who supported him. The party was forced to vote to withdraw the confidence after 54 MPs initiated the measure after a string of scandals and two investigations, one by the police, which dealt a blow to the credibility of Johnson’s leadership, which had resisted calls for his resignation for months following a party scandal – which took place in the height of the crisis.The pandemic at the Prime Minister’s headquarters “10 Downing Street” and personally attended some of them – violation of the measures against the “Corona” and its restrictions are approved by their government to become the first British Prime Minister to break the law in the performance of official duties. With Johnson backed by more than half of lawmakers, a similar vote against him won’t be possible until a year from now. But the Conservative Party could change internal rules to allow a similar move that would have challenged Johnson’s authority a year ago. The outcome of the vote put Johnson in a similar situation, if not worse, to that of former Prime Minister Theresa May, who survived a confidence vote and resigned months later on June 7, 2019, finding herself and her party leadership in a precarious position. .
