British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has his governing ability and his It's very likely that he's on the last leg of his nine lives, dodging the crisis one after another, casting a shadow over his integrity.
At least 27 ministers and aides have resigned from the government in the last 48 hours following the resignation of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Health Minister Sajid Javid, who resigned from the cabinet on Tuesday. did.
The "Partygate" scandal has already injured the British Prime Minister. Johnson was reported to have attended a series of law-breaking parties at his office in Downing Street when most of the country was under the blockade of Covid-19. His subsequent denial of the knowledge of such parties was not true. Other politicians would have resigned, but surprisingly, Johnson won a vote of no confidence 211-148 from the Conservative Caucus.
The recent crisis was on Tuesday, when Prime Minister Snak and his best friend Javid said the Prime Minister's cabinet "they are no longer confident that Boris Johnson will lead the country."
The BBC quoted Sunak as expecting the public to do "properly, competently, and seriously" with the government. At the same time, Javid repeated this, stating that the government "is not acting for the national interest."
The resignation took place minutes after the Prime Minister apologized for appointing Parliamentarian Chris Pincher to a government role, even after being informed of illegal complaints against Parliamentarians. The Prime Minister was informed of the complaint in 2019, but admitted that he made a "bad mistake" because he did not deal with it.
Pincher was suspended last week as a Tory member on suspicion of sexual misconduct. Still, Johnson appointed him as Deputy Leader earlier this year, despite noticing his previous allegations about the actions of MPs.
The allegation against MP Pincher is that he groped for two men in a private member club, leading to a Conservative MP suspension. Johnson allegedly refused to confirm that he had erased his first complaint and, as a joke, erased it. "Pincher by name, essentially pincher," the Prime Minister reportedly said.
Pakistan's ancestor Javid wrote in his resignation: I have served you faithfully and as a friend, but we all serve the country first. When letting you choose from those loyalty, there is only one answer.
An Indian ancestor, Snack, wrote in his resignation: The serious challenge is the decision I haven't neglected. But the public naturally expects the government to be done properly, competently and seriously ... I believe these standards are worth fighting. That's why I resign.
It takes courage for politicians to resign from the Cabinet portfolio on a matter of principle. We Canada witnessed such courage when Jody Wilson Raybold resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet at the SNC La Balance Candal in February 2019. Shortly thereafter, Jane Philpott resigned because of his concerns about Trudeau's actions.
Philpot, another member of Trudeau's cabinet and Wilson Raybold's best friend, said he had lost his trust in the Prime Minister. She writes: "I have to comply with my core values, ethical responsibilities and constitutional obligations. Acting on my principles can be costly, but abandoning them. Will cost more. ”
Unfortunately, politicians who have the courage to stand up to their principles are often lost in the flood of political news that barely survives the 24-hour cycle. Please try to imagine. There is a prime minister wearing a "blackface" who won the 2021 election and is now governing with the support of the NDP led by Jagmate Singh.
