Three mandates at risk after Johnson’s resignation – News (Ekot)

Dominating again Boris Johnson Political Debate in Great Britain.

The latest chapter in Boris Johnson’s saga is the former prime minister’s announcement that he is resigning from his parliamentary seat. The current government wants to shelve the entire book – but is forced to deal with the consequences of his decision instead.

By-elections are now underway in Johnson’s constituency – but two more of Johnson’s coalition MPs have opted to resign. Retaining those seats in parliament looks a difficult task – given the ruling Tories’ point-of-view and a landslide defeat in May’s local elections.

To the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak It is about avoiding an infighting in the Tory party, while reminding voters of the political turmoil of the past year – and the partygate scandal that brought down Boris Johnson.

On the other hand, the opposition parties see an opportunity to win their constituencies and use every opportunity to describe the current ruling party as a joke or a reality show.

Whether Johnson can return to the top of politics is already being debated. Almost a year after he chose to resign as prime minister, it’s clear that Boris Johnson still casts a long shadow over both the government and British politics.
