Many foreign politicians have more or less "scandals". Especially in Western countries, these situations are not uncommon. British Prime Minister Johnson has recently been caught in the storm of resignation because of the "scandal".
According to foreign media reports, on January 19, Johnson was severely accused by Davis in parliament, and Davis asked Johnson to bear the mistakes he had made and voluntarily resigned. It is worth mentioning that Davis was once a loyal "ally" of Johnson, and the two had maintained a high degree of agreement on the issue of "Brexit".
As this matter continues to ferment, many Conservative MPs in the United Kingdom have lost trust in Johnson. According to statistics, more than 20 lawmakers have submitted documents questioning Johnson's ability, and the call for him to voluntarily resign is also getting louder and louder.
The whole thing was caused by "a party". At the height of the global pandemic in 2020, Johnson also issued a ban on a variety of travel and gatherings, and then, before the ban was lifted in May, Johnson ran to the blocked Downing Street to hold a "carnival party".
The supreme leader of a country has taken the lead in sabotaging epidemic prevention efforts in blatant violation of the ban he has issued. In the UK, there was immediately a lot of heated discussion. It is understood that Johnson's former chief adviser Cummings also warned him in advance of his participation in the party, but he not only disagreed, but also made a "sophistry" in an interview that the garden party he attended was for work.
In addition, Johnson has previously publicly denied that he has attended a downing street party. The relevant issues are also fragmented and want to cover up. He both violated the rules and lied in denial, which dealt a serious blow to Johnson's reputation in an instant.
In particular, he was accused by many "cronies" around him, which also forced him to admit his mistakes. Then, rather than admitting that Johnson faces a more serious conundrum, it is to be asked to resign. So Johnson had to take the initiative when things were not even irreparable.
According to foreign media reports, just yesterday, Johnson issued a new order in order to keep his prime ministerial throne. He announced that at the end of this month, the English region will remove the mask injunction, and there will be no longer a mandatory requirement for showing a health code, and work from home will not be encouraged.
At present, the epidemic has not been controlled at all, Johnson is in a hurry to withdraw the epidemic prevention ban, which is entirely to divert his political scandal, to get the support of some Conservative Party members who oppose the ban, but to take the whole of The United Kingdom as a bet, I have to say that Johnson's move is indeed "cruel".
While this approach is risky, Johnson did have some success. Some right-wing conservatives have publicly expressed support for Johnson's move. Some netizens also take France as an example, believing that although France's epidemic prevention and control is very strict, the number of new cases remains high.
Even with a small number of supportive voices, there are still many people who satirize the hypocrisy of Johnson's approach, still believing that he is both incompetent and irresponsible. The epidemic in the UK is still very serious, but it is only the asymptomatic patients who have not been tested, which has created the illusion that the epidemic is under control for the British.
Some experts said Johnson's move, while not in line with "science," was in line with "politics." It can be seen that in Johnson's eyes, his status and reputation are indeed more important than the health of the British people. However, this is also the consistent mentality of Western politicians.
