BORIS JOHNSON STEPS DOWN AS LEADER OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY
Boris Johnson has stepped down as leader of the Conservative Party today Thursday 7th July 2022, making way for a new prime minister, following an avalanche of resignations by members of his party that eroded his authority and paralyzed the British government. Speaking to a crowd of supporters and onlookers at the lectern outside 10 Downing Street, Johnson said, “It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new prime minister.”
Johnson did not become emotional, nor did he apologize for the behavior that brought the 58-year-old politician to this low point.
You would wonder what kind of attitude that is, a leader is supposed to have integrity.
he blamed his party for his downfall, comparing his fellow lawmakers to stampeding animals. “As we have seen at Westminster … when the herd moves, it moves. And my friends, in politics, no one is remotely indispensable,” Johnson said.
But you know, There will be no general election. Instead, the next leader of Britain will be chosen in a vote by dues paying members of the Conservative Party, which will remain in power. Johnson said he would serve until a new leader is in place, which could take six weeks or longer. He appointed a new Cabinet of officials to replace all the ministers who had abandoned him, while pledging not to “implement new policies or make major changes of direction.
