Boris Johnson – blond, bouffant and boorish (Opinion)

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Kate Maltby is a broadcaster and columnist in the United Kingdom on issues of culture and politics, and a theater critic for The Guardian newspaper. Darroch clearly felt he had no choice but to resign after Johnson wouldn’t commit to retaining him in the post after the unauthorized disclosure of the ambassador’s secret cables calling the Trump administration “inept.” Outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May had offered Darroch her full support, but Johnson, who is pally with Trump, already calls the shots in Westminster. After years as a journalist, media star and politician, Johnson is now the leading candidate in a run-off race to become leader of the British Conservative Party, following Theresa May’s resignation. At the New York Times, the sociologist Will Davies has pointed out that this has allowed Johnson to ride the wave of an electorate convinced that the complexity of renegotiating Britain’s biggest trading agreement is, in fact, an elitist conspiracy – that it has only taken so long to negotiate an exit deal because “Britain’s Treasury Department, the Bank of England and Downing Street itself are now conspiring to deny Britain its sovereignty.” Johnson’s voters are people who don’t like to be told that leaving the EU involves compromises, that government has to make difficult decisions. Join us on Twitter and Facebook Unlike Trump, however, Johnson may find the long-desired job – and the love of Tory voters – isn’t his for long unless he sharpens up his act.
