I would suggest that the bashing contributed to Boris Johnson being forced (correctly in my opinion) to resign. Not to mention causing many of his former colleagues to read the writing on the wall and finally admit that his honesty was "questionable" (either on TV leadership debates and/or by way of resignation).
If the general public was instead expressing extreme satisfaction with the government, I find it unlikely that this would have happened.
- pjc50 4y agoYeah, extensive bashing has achieved the bare minimum, the resignation of Johnson - but, characteristically, in a half-assed way while a lengthy leadership contest happens and the leadership vacuum remains. We're now moving on to strikes, and if the 70s speedrun continues we're likely to see either energy rationing or a mass non-payment of bills, presumably followed by actual riots, until a general election is finally called.
- tailspin2019 4y agoI don't believe it's going to get quite that bad, but I agree that they need to get a move on and get back to some form of stable government quickly (even if the people in power are not necessarily who I'd choose).
