Liz Truss did not last long as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It is the umpteenth government leader who is losing out on the other side of the North Sea. Boris Johnson decided not to run for office last night.
For a moment he seemed in the picture to return to the highest British political office.
Now Johnson indicates that he does not want to. 84 percent of the responding readers think that’s a right decision. Several people indicate that Johnson would not be a clear winner: “After all, he has proven not to be suitable.” Others also indicate that it is time for something different, as Johnson himself has resigned.
However, 16 percent of readers think a second term “BoJo” wouldn’t be a bad idea by far. “He gave a bit of swagger and action to British politics,” said one. Others agree with Johnson when it comes to his rule. “UK has not valued this intelligent man in the past, everyone deserves a second chance,” says someone else.
The way now seems clear for Rishi Sunak. At the moment, no other candidate has managed to get the necessary 100 supporters.
