One of the figures of the Conservative Party, the former Prime Minister John Majorimmediately raised his voice against an “unsustainable” situation.
“For the good of the country, Johnson must not remain in Downing Street longer than necessary,” he said, suggesting that the deputy prime minister Dominic Raab act as head of interim government.
According to a survey of YouGovthe 56% of Britons agree that Boris Johnson should leave power nowamid rumors that he is clinging to office to throw a lavish wedding party at Checkers, the prime ministers’ country residence, later this month.
Considering that the departure of Boris Johnson is not enough and that “a real change of government” is needed in the United Kingdom, the leader of the Labor opposition, Keir Starmerwas evaluating presenting a motion of censure against the executive in an attempt to precipitate the calling of early elections that would be very damaging to the Conservatives.
The race for succession is open
Following the dramatic resignation of Boris Johnson, the race began in the UK on Friday to replace him as leader of the Conservative Party and therefore as prime minister.
The timetable for these long and complex internal elections, which usually last several months, will not be announced until next week.
But before the dramatic day on Thursday ended, the Conservative deputy Tom Tugendhatchairman of the parliamentary committee on Foreign Relations and highly critical of Boris Johnson, announced his candidacy.
A YouGov cabinet poll of Conservative voters found Defense Minister, ben wallaceand to the Secretary of International Trade, Penny Mordaunt, among the favourites.
However, none of them made their participation in the race to become the next Downing Street tenant official at the moment.
Boris Johnson resisted calls for his resignation for days, but ended up giving in on Thursday, when some 60 members of his government had already resigned in a bloodletting that began on Tuesday with two heavyweights, the finance minister, Rishi Sunakand the Health, Sajid Javid.
