The UK’s constitution won’t change, but he could subtly influence policy in one specific area.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson would like his legacy to be that of a successful Brexit, but most voters reject his claim. The war in Ukraine and the cost-of-living crisis has provided a vivid test of Britain's inability to 'take back control' in order to protect people from the vicissitudes of events abroad.
Liz Truss is very likely to be elected as the UK’s next Prime Minister, despite the discontent of Conservative Party members of parliament. Her predecessors’ performances under similar conditions should be cause for concern.
Should she win the ongoing leadership race, Liz Truss will face a public divided over departing Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Honoring her predecessor may guarantee her the party’s support but will not help win back disillusioned voters.
Opinion polls show Rishi Sunak to be the British electorate’s favorite among Boris Johnson’s potential successors. The Labour Party should fear the candidate who can persuade voters that they belong to the political mainstream.
Following Boris Johnson's resignation, his successor must work to rebuild the Conservative party's reputation and rediscover its purpose ahead of the next UK general election.
Although the Conservatives suffered a defeat in the byelections, the race for the next general election remains open. Data points and trends from past elections indicate that Labour's victory is far from certain.
Despite the positive vote of confidence for Boris Johnson, public distrust of the British prime minister will negatively affect his party. To save face, the Conservative party should remove Johnson and replace him with a leader who is regarded as honest and competent.
Johnson’s reputation may be close to stellar outside of Britain. But back home, integrity, decency, and stability in Northern Ireland are being replaced by vested interests and short-term gains aimed at securing political survival.
