Boris Johnson managed to do what he was chosen to do: get Britain out of the EU.
But his success was also his curse: once he completed the job, he no longer had a vocation and he made mistake after mistake - from violating the closure in Corona, to the lies and deception of Parliament.
In fact, it is difficult to remember another achievement of his except the completion of the Brexit (which will no doubt be registered in his name for better or worse for many generations). .
Members of his government and faction realized that as time went on, their party became more and more stained (only in recent weeks have they lost two seats in parliament specifically in constituencies that are considered right-wing strongholds).
Johnson thought everything would be forgotten until the 2025 election, and he would probably also win another term, given the continued absence of Labor leader Kir Stramer.
But his party members understood that if all he had to offer Britain in the post-Brexit era was scandals and more scandals, they were not going to commit suicide for him.

Like previous UK prime ministers, the fall was largely the result of an underestimation of their strength.
David Cameron was sure that there was no harm in holding a referendum on the subject of the European Union, because the people support him, and therefore will want to stay in the Union.
Theresa May was sure that the aversion to the extremist Jeremy Corbyn was a guarantee that she would increase her power in parliament, and therefore preceded the election - but came out of it weaker and without a majority in parliament.
Johnson, too, thought he would ride on the success of the Brexit until another term (and recently told associates he intends to stay at Downing 10 for at least ten years, to overshadow Margaret Thatcher).

At the end of the day, the method that Johnson knew how to take advantage of so well when he led the Brexit campaign and undermined previous prime ministers, raised its head when it pushed the boundaries.
Even when it seemed to create a constitutional crisis and rule a country without a cabinet, in the end the system won, and he was forced to step off the stage without dragging the entire political system with him by early elections or other political exercises.
In fact, it is possible that when reading these lines he will even succumb to the pressure left in his party to transfer the prime minister right now to his deputy.
The people, and later members of Johnson's party, sent a clear message this week: You've done your job, we thank you, and now we are interested in a prime minister who is your reversal.
This means that the "gray" candidates in the race for the leadership of the Conservative Party are likely to have the most successful chances of winning.
Therefore, it is very likely that in the 2025 general election, the two parties will be headed by "boring" figures, to the delight of almost all residents of the kingdom, who want to turn a page from the crisis era of Brexit, Corona and Johnson.
