The mantra of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party during the national election campaign was aimed at harnessing voter frustration at a parliamentary logjam over Britain’s exit from the European Union.
The five-week campaign also saw Johnson facing questions about his personal trustworthiness after his repeated failed promises during the year to deliver Brexit by the end of October “do or die.” “The themes are people versus parliament, let’s get Brexit done and move on, and a very merry Brexit to everyone.”
During his first weeks in office he oversaw one of the biggest purges of cabinet ministers in modern British history and expelled from his party 21 Conservative lawmakers who had voted against the prime minister on Brexit, including the grandson of Winston Churchill. The campaign focused heavily on core Brexit-related messages and was relatively light on policy detail, several members of his campaign team said. “The whole point of this campaign was to keep it tight and focused,” said one of his team. “It’s all about the messaging.”
During an Oct. 13 visit to the northern town of Doncaster, a female member of the public accused him of peddling fiction by promising a rosy future for Britain outside of the EU and being part of a government that had made cuts to public services.
Really dangerous narrative here of a people’s government. Next step, by-passing parliament. Straight out of autocrat’s playbook.
The Brits will come yoregret this. Russia just got another Christmas’ wish handed to them.
I don’t have enough followers for anyone to see this, but I’m pretty sure if you add up % vote for Remain vs the % vote for Leave parties then Remain is higher. Only slightly. But the first referendum was only slightly.
voters love a con
Good luck UK You have your own Trump now...

He gambled that the average Brit was racist and xenophobic and stupid. He was right.
I dont recognise this as an Uxbridge or Sth Ruislip polling station.
All he had to do was make it about Corbyn. This isn’t that hard to understand, and it wasn’t much of a gamble.
My concern is was the UK election hacked as ours was? Reasonable cause to suspect UK will break up. Britian will be left in political and economic spiral.
Never underestimate the other guy!👏🏾
Alternative headline could be 'how boris johnson gave life to Nigel Farages nationalist Brexit
The beginning of end of UK
Why Labour lost: 1. The lying newspapers 2. The High Court legalising lies 3. The lying TV News 4. The Illegal campaign funding 5. The lying PM Not a gamble, it was easy.
This makes me think of the game Pitfall 2 where when you died you watch your character float backwards, backwards, backwards until you finally get to a save point. Dreadful, before-your-very-eyes witnessing of progress eliminated. As with the U.S., so with the U.K.
it's not a gamble that the billionaire media empire will smear his opponents
Why does he look like he doesn't know how to walk a dog
Met je hoofd boven het maaiveld uit durven steken. Daarvan zijn er niet zoveel. Alles op het spel durven zetten. De mentaliteit van een winnaar. Een duidelijke boodschap zonder gedoe. De Engelsen hadden duidelijk behoefte aan visie. Niet helemaal de mijne maar ach...
Geert Wilders gave PM Mark Rutte already advice, buy a dog, but Mark didn't listen.
pulling much you end by strangling it
