A circulating view that Theresa May was bullied out of office by Mp bullies just to get Johnson in is gaining grounds by a group of professionals who say there is an obvious hierarchical structure in parliament where a select group of Mps know the direction in which they collectively want it to go.
According to some stealth observers, including some Mps , psychologists, philosophers studying developments in politics, Theresa May’s resignation had the ”writing on the wall”. At some point she had to leave Downing Street and make way for Johnson, some of the experts that include some Mps has been fed to The Eye Of Media’s thinktank who are examining whether it is actually possible that Ms May would have had to step down for Johnson at some point.
Any such structure will hinge on influence which could be based on accomplishments, political ideals, ”degree of social status with political circles in Westminster ” party customs and various allegiances.
The conclusion is mainly ideological but said to be based on known facts about politicians. The view is one also shared by some parliamentary insiders who say it was all about the perfect time to justify getting Ms May out of office. May’s departure from her role as leader of the Conservative party came in the form of a resignation, but she faced a lot of pressure to step down behind the scenes.
May and Johnson never had a brilliant political relationship, one that was made more strange when she entered Downing Street at a time when Johnson had been the forerunner for the Prime Ministerial position. The two Tory politician’s always seized every opportunity to criticise each other openly, either subtly or clearly. Their internal disputes and differences were sometimes entertainment for the public, considering the fact it was Ms May who gave Johnson a life saving chance after he was hung to dry by his supporters when he failed to send a decisive tweet.
Johnson’s political achievements, his financial strength , and his strong educational background has earned him lots of support in parliament. His weaknesses and many gaffes were sometimes shocking, and made him on occasions the weak link of Theresa May’s government. However, the internal votes from the Tory party showed him to be two or three times more popular than the next most popular contender, Jeremy Hunt .
Some analysts say Johnson’s supporters were determined to oppose any offer Theresa May brought to the House. other Mps supporting other political figures also were against Theresa May’s deal for reasons of their own. There were different reasons different Mps had for opposing Theresa May’s deal
”Most of Johnson’s supporters were never going to vote for Theresa May’s deal, and Johnson has a great deal of followers”; saidChris Williamson, an odd 30 year old researcher and philosopher with many unique insights into politics and human behaviour. He and a bunch of former philosophy students from Newcastle University.
” May always stressed that her deal was the only deal available and better than no deal, but Johnson’s supporters strongly believe the proposed deal the EU struck with Theresa May would have kept us tied to the EU in more ways than be believes necessary. Johnson believes a complete break away will allow Britain to discover its full potential to trade with the rest of the world”, he says.
”This two views will always oppose each other and at the point where Theresa May felt she needed to agree a deal, the real deal becomes the rejection of any notion that a deal needs to be tirelessly pursued. Johnson has his own ideas and many of those ideas would have already been shared with his supporters, many may be kept close to his chest. One of those ideas is not to beg the EU for a deal, even though he openly declares plans to negotiate with EU bosses that have already said they won’t negotiate.
Then Boris Johnson says he will get us out of The EU do or die. So we know he is ready to get us out regardless of a deal, and though it looks disastrous, it may actually work out for the better, who knows?But one thing for sure, he is believes in Britain without Europe. He will go down as a legend if it works, but many people already doubt it, but many believe it too”.
REJECTION
The former prime minister , Theresa May felt certain of the need to strike one agreement or the other with the EU, and chose the deal offered by the EU. However, she had her agreement rejected by parliament three times because her deal did not appeal to the pro Johnson supporters.. Notably, no better suggestion was put forward by any of the full parliamentary house. Ministers were unhappy with the deal Theresa May struck with EU leaders, leading them to heap pressure on her to step down from office.
Johnson is now in power but there are no signs he will provide any resolutions to the deal May struck with EU leaders. Instead ,what Britain seems to be getting ready for is a hard Brexit after what will be months of inflexibility from the EU who have already made it clear they will not review the withdrawal agreement they struck with Ms May earlier this year. Johnson is not that bothered whether the EU strike a deal or not, he is prepared to take Britain out of the EU , deal or no deal.
May was treated badly for trying to persuade parliament to accept a deal and draw a line over Brexit negotiations, although her biggest weakness may have been the decision to meet with Corbyn to work out a way forward. She made that decision out of desperation in an attempt to discover the best way forward, but angry Tory members ganged up against her because they wanted Johnson in. They wanted him in mainly to secure their roles in his cabinet, not because he will do what is best for the country,
BATTLE
Johnson already appears to be on a loosing battle in terms of convincing The EU to negotiate terms because they have insisted they will not do this, and the new prime minister is determined to take Britain out of The EU regardless of the terms of its departure. His determination to achieve this goal as a mission no matter the consequences is precisely what is very dangerous for Britain. It ignores all economic advice from economic exerts including The Bank Of England and requires a closely examined assessment of how he will get Britain out with no deal without seriously compromising the economy.
