Johnson's final straw is the politician's mortal wound

Since Johnson took office as British Prime Minister in July 2019, the political turmoil has not stopped. By covering up the staff who violated the stay-at-home order and luxuriously renovating the Prime Minister's official residence, he once said that "I would rather stack corpses than lock down the city".


Since Johnson took office as British Prime Minister in July 2019, the political turmoil has not stopped.

By covering up the aides who violated the stay-at-home order and luxuriously renovating the Prime Minister's official residence, he once said that "I would rather stack corpses than lock down the city", but it was recently revealed that a party was held during the severe epidemic.

With Johnson's rare apology in parliament, speculation is growing that his prime ministership is in the penultimate phase.


A few days ago, the British media disclosed an internal email from Downing Street. On May 20 of the previous year, when the city was still in lockdown, the Prime Minister's Office held a party, and 100 people attended with their own drinks.

In the end, only 40 people attended, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

He said he went to Downing Street Gardens to thank his comrades and left after staying for about half an hour, thinking it was a workplace.

The Prime Minister's Office was bombed with parties one after another

Many people didn't show up, perhaps reflecting their perception that things were more inappropriate than Johnson.

And staying for half an hour is not too short, Johnson is naturally criticized.

The prime minister, who has always been high-profile and high-spirited, made a rare apology in parliament. Although he refused to step down, he asked everyone to wait for the results of the government's investigation. His tone seemed less decisive.

At present, a number of Conservative MPs are calling for Johnson to resign, and some have indicated that they will send a letter to the 1922 Committee to initiate a motion of no confidence.

According to the poll, dissatisfaction with Johnson's government has risen to 57%, a sharp drop from 23%.

Then another insider broke the news to the "Daily Telegraph" that the night before Prince Philip's funeral last year, the United Kingdom was in a national mourning period, but the Prime Minister's Office held a farewell party, and many people played until the end of the night.

Obviously, more and more people want to put the last straw to overwhelm Johnson's camel.

Public outrage may cause Conservative MPs to abandon prime minister

The editorial of the "Guardian" newspaper, which has always been pro-Labor, criticized Johnson's government for being in chaos, which is expected, but even the "Daily Telegraph", which is a pro-Conservative Party, bluntly stated that this is the most difficult time for Johnson since taking office, saying that Conservative MPs face voter anger and may have to switch roles.

An editorial in the Financial Times also spoke to Conservative MPs, saying "the power to overthrow the prime minister is in their hands" and warned they could be deserted by voters if Johnson is still to be kept.

If Johnson's prime ministership is really to come to an end, his cause of death can be said to be a disregard for the interests of society.

Even though modern politics often involves power and manipulation and is full of political manipulation, in general, it cannot run against the interests of the people, as shown by "Party Gate".

When the new crown epidemic has made society a mess and the people are not having a good life, if politicians are still spending their money and only caring about their own interests, how can they not be criticized by thousands of people?

Politics is always about a better life for the people.

Forgetting this is the mortal wound of politicians in general.

Johnson and the Conservative Party's 100-strong counterattack political leaders must know how to be responsible for house leaks in Britain, where it rains overnight
