But his bombs were often very effective and finally misfired. Members of various divisions of the party have united against him. A person who has never liked him joined the ranks with a devout Christian who was dissatisfied with his knighthood attitude and was angry with what he considered moral. The depth and breadth of internal opposition means that it cannot be dismissed as the work of those who dislike Brexit or who have a personal grudge.
Still, the fraying of Johnson’s relationship with his party has been around for well over the past few months. Conservative lawmakers felt that their voices hadn’t been heard much since they came to power in 2019. Things really got worse when he told the party at the end of 2021 to support a member who was suspended for a breach. Just suddenly reverse the course of lobbying rules. For many young lawmakers, Johnson didn’t know what he was doing and proved unreliable.
Nonetheless, Johnson’s staff wants him to be able to rebuild his authority. A new team of aides was formed this year to stop the rebellion. With the war in Ukraine that allowed him to play a politician, this reorganization bought the prime minister’s time. However, the reality of dark elections has begun to emerge as efforts to renew confidence have become less active.
The problem for Johnson is that there isn’t much good news coming out. Few people are enthusiastic about his domestic agenda after the government has so far failed to embody its promise to “level up” the country and its decision to raise taxes. This anxiety is exacerbated by the cost of living crisis as inflation continues to rise.
In addition, two contrasting elections this month, Wakefield, a recently praised Labor constituency in the north, and Tiberton and Honiton, traditional conservative constituencies in the southwest, were damaged. May be given. If they oppose the Conservatives, it will be a big blow if possible. Then there’s a small question in the House of Commons investigation into whether Mr Johnson misunderstood Congress, usually a crime of resignation.
Johnson may theoretically be safe for another 12 months, but no one really thinks so. The rules governing the Conservative Party are unclear and can be changed in the afternoon. The feeling of the senior Tories is that if the majority opposes Mr Johnson, he will leave before the beginning of the year.
