Johnson refuses to resign even if he loses: ‘It would be crazy’

UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnsonreassured this Thursday that it would be “insane” to resign if conservatives suffered a new setback in partial elections this will be Thursday and two seats in the British Parliament are at stake.

Johnson, who has recently recovered from an act of domestic distrust, downplayed the possibility of losing in this Thursday’s towns of Tiverton, Honiton and Wakefield, because “ruling parties don’t usually win“That kind of choice.” I have high hopes, but you know, there it is. That’s the truth,” he said in a meeting with the press on the official tour that took them to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. “Are you crazy?” When asked if he would resign on the assumption of a defeat, a journalist said.

“It’s only been a year since we won the Hartlepool by-election that everyone… you know, thought we didn’t win, I can’t remember the last time the Conservative Party won Hartlepool. Before, I don’t think I ever did,” he recalled.

match Johnson plays this Thursday It’s where the Conservatives win in the towns of Tiverton and Honiton, an extremely conservative corner of the county of Devon in southwestern England, and in Wakefield, the former industrial area to the north. For the first time in 2019 in 90 years.

Wakefield, in the county of West Yorkshire traditional Workers’ castles As for Devon, which created the so-called ‘red wall’ that the Conservatives managed to tear down in the 2019 general elections, the Conservatives, who won the county by more than 24,000 votes in the last election, will play this duo. Counties as predictably with the Liberal Democrats party.

Tiverton and Honiton have been in the hands of the Conservatives since they were founded in 1997, but the last Westminster rep, Neil Parish, resigned in April after admitting he had consumed pornography in Parliament. In Wakefield’s case, voters favored the Labor Party from 1932 until 2019 when Imran Ahmad Khan won for the Conservatives. However, she was forced to resign in May after being convicted of sexually assaulting a minor.

If he’s defeated in either scenario, it would be the first time in more than three decades after the mishap of former Conservative Prime Minister John Major.
