[Johnson's withdrawal is really not simple! ] The British people broke out, and "Sunak's resignation" spread]
The last six months can be said to be the most volatile half a year in British politics, with three successive cabinet prime ministers in a few months, and three party leaders in the Conservative Party. Johnson was pressured to resign due to a scandal within the cabinet, and after Truss came to power, he introduced a wrong tax cut, and was finally forced to resign as prime minister for only 45 days, the shortest prime minister in British history.
Sunak is the first Indian prime minister in British history, and these three prime ministers can be said to have set a number of historic records, but at the same time, it also shows the outside world that the internal political divisions in the United Kingdom are becoming more and more serious.
Johnson returned to England immediately after Truss's resignation, but withdrew from the race at the last minute
When Truss announced his resignation, Johnson actually wanted to run for election, and he believed that he was imperative for the position of prime minister. Because there are many potential political supporters of his in the Conservative Party, there was also a lot of news at the time that Johnson could make a comeback at any time, but he withdrew from the election at the last moment on the grounds of solidarity with the Conservative Party.
Sunak, on the other hand, was automatically elected leader of the Conservative Party because he had no contenders. And Johnson's behavior has also caused many people to be dissatisfied, and his party supporters believe that Johnson backed down at a critical moment is a betrayal. Recently, the British media also broke the real reason for Johnson's withdrawal in reports.
Johnson himself is not sure that he will win 100% of the Conservative party elections, and if he loses, he will lose around £10 million a year. Because after Johnson's resignation, he has been negotiating with entertainment agencies in the UK, and he will later make money by writing memoirs or participating in various social activities. But if Johnson loses to Sunak in the party election, his personal political influence will collapse, and Britain's entertainment companies will no longer look for Johnson.
Demanding Sunak's resignation, he could become short-lived prime minister
And Johnson's daily expenses are very large, so he needs this income of around £10 million a year, which is why he withdrew from the election of Conservative Party leader at the last minute. However, Johnson's withdrawal at a critical moment is not necessarily a bad thing, because Sunak is under very strong political pressure, and he has been attacked by opposition parties since he came to power.
Under the leadership of the Labour Party, there are even many people calling for Sunak to resign as soon as possible, and Sunak does have problems, he is too young and inexperienced in government. And Sunak lacked enough social experience to have no contact with the lower classes in Britain. According to the statistics released by various polling agencies in the UK, the support of the opposition Labour Party has exceeded that of the Conservative Party, and if the early election is held now, the Conservative Party will not even be able to maintain its ruling position.
