Great Britain: campaign by conservative militants to keep Boris Johnson prime minister

When Boris Johnson copied Terminator and signed with a “Goodbye, baby ” of his parliamentary colleagues after a scandalous premiership, received a standing ovation of their peers in the House of Commons.

The phrase repeated in Spanish, one of the 12 languages ​​that Boris speaks, was not even Goodbye but “See you later”. At least 10,000 Conservative party members want to see him again and who now enters the race for prime minister, along with candidates Liz Truss, the chancellor, and Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, who triggered the crisis that ended his government.

A revolt among the Tories, beyond the Palace of Westminster and its conservative parliamentary party. The conservative militants, especially in the north of the country, in the Labor Red Wall that first voted him to leave Europe, want Boris and They want me to come back to power.

The petition, which had collected 10,000 signatures until last night, was organized by former conservative party treasurer Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch and former Tory MEP David Campbell Bannerman. They ask to have the right to cast their vote and their word in the expulsion of Boris and his eventual return. To be able to vote and not that the decision is limited to a select group of Tories, on behalf of all.

These 10,000 conservatives want Boris’s fate be decided by many other militants who today have the right to vote for it and decide its fate on September 5, when the party already has a new leader.

a second vote

The signatories want a second vote, which confirms the decision of the deputies to force him to resign, so that Boris can participate in the official leadership vote between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, as the third candidate.

A petition of 100,000 people is to be debated in the British Parliament. It is not known what will happen with a petition in the Conservative party. It was still expanding today.

IF Lord Crudas succeeds and Boris Johnson wins this second vote, it will be a tough match. This is a scolding Tory leadership campaignwith the possibility of lowering inflation or taxes as central themes.

The debate is whether billionaire Sunak has the right to wear a £ 3,800 suit and Prada shoes for the campaign or Liz Truss, the chancellor, nicknamed ‘The Robot’, should dress like a copy of Margaret Thatcher to get more sympathy for the interior of a white electorate in their sixties.

There are many within the party who disagree with Boris’ expulsion. They see it as a metropolitan resolution.

Conservatives know this neither Sunak nor Truss are attractive in an election campaign and that Boris is his best “asset” if there are early elections. Last time you got a record 14 million votes.

So far Boris remains silent, after literally throwing hand grenades along with Ukrainian soldiers, who are training in Britain to go to the war front. He spent the weekend in Dama, the Prime Minister’s country residence, with his family and did not comment on the request.

Officially Boris, his wife Carrie, their children Wilfred and Romy will have to leave Downing St, walking in front of photographers and cameras. Nobody has any idea what Boris’ next plans are.

He has already said that he will continue to be a deputy. But since neither Truss nor Sunak have mentioned that they will appoint him minister, he will be a “backbencher” legislator, as the legislators who sit behind the House of Commons are called.

Seeking his re-election

His first step will be to save his political reputation and earn money so he can pay for his children’s prohibitive private schools. P.You can rewrite your columns in the Daily Telegraph and restart the “after dinner speaker”, and his funny speeches, with which he was able to earn a fortune. They believe that in one year she will be able to earn 3 million pounds.

You should watch out for the case being prepared by Labor MP Harriet Harman to prove he lied to Parliament. This would force him to resign and there would be new elections in his constituency of Uxbridge and West Ruislip, which Johnson won in 2019, with a majority of 7,210 votes.

Its target will be the Red Wall, that wall of Labor voters in the north of Britain, who for the first time in their life voted for a Conservative because they defended Brexit. He will certainly be the spokesperson for these Red Walls. He will visit them, he will speak on their behalf. They are his political capital for a long ransom to power. He is your political rock star, who will vote again.

Boris’ fate may be to move away from the Tory party to create new and close political alliances because his beliefs are not those of traditional conservatives.

Many wealthy conservatives are willing to fund a new party around Boris, in an image similar to the one Emmanuel Macron created in France when he liquidated socialism and republican conservatives in 2016.

But if the leadership challenge is won by Rishi Sunak, some conservatism will call for general elections to prove it. Faced with a rising Labor, the best place to save the Conservatives is Boris. But he will have to wait at least 5 years before the Labors rule the country.

Towards the United States?

Others believe that Boris will step down from Parliament, he will finish his biographical book on Shakespeare and you will embark on your first great financial adventure. A US tour to explain how the British COVID vaccine saved the world and how it created the global coalition against Vladimir Putin. Boris is American: he was born in New York, when his father Stanley was a student there.

Their south London house, which they bought with Currie, is being rented out. Boris could land at his Oxford country house or settle down on Exmor’s large family farmwhere he grew up with the other three brothers, and begins to organize his return.

Lord Cruddas, whom Boris ennobled in the House of Lords, believes that no one has yet seen the back of the undisciplined prime minister.

“Boris is very articulate, very well educated, a person of classical education. When he says one thing, he heads for something else.. When I heard “Hasta la vista, baby”, I knew “I’ll be back”. And, I warn you, if Boris is left out of the tent, the party will regret it.

“See you later, Baby.” It’s like “Perón Vuelve” for Boris Johnson or Terminator for Arnold Schwarsenegger.
