I don’t like discussing politics on here, but… i am extremely sceptical whether he has the political capital right now to see through such a radical move. This is part of “Operation Red Meat” in which Boris Johnson attempts to hold on to support of his party by giving the right-wing of his party everything it dreams of. In other words “turn a blind eye to the corruption and incompetence, and we’ll prioritise every policy you’ve ever dreamed of”.
It’s been the same strategy from mainstream parties in UK and US for the last few years, particularly well-executed by the right. If it works again, Boris Johnson will be the winner, while the British political system will be the big loser.
