D-Day for Boris Johnson as Britain heads to the polls

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has promised to end the Brexit turmoil and unite Britain if re-elected on Thursday, but critics accuse him of Donald Trump-style populism that will only divide the country further.

His tendency to play to the crowd both as a politician and in his previous career as a journalist has also drawn accusations of racism and misogyny. He was notably accused by the family of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian woman held in Tehran for sedition, of jeopardising her case by mischaracterising her job at the time.

His credibility took a hit when, despite MPs passing a law to stop his threat of leaving the EU with no deal, Johnson refused to acknowledge Brexit would be delayed past October until it actually happened.

he can't be worse than CyrilRamaphosa , that's for sure
