Boris Johnson: With a “miracle” he will stay in power – Conservatives and his ministers “clear” him

The time for his stay counts backwards Boris Johnson in her power Britainas according to the international press, the only thing that can save the situation is a “miracle” or the “impossibility” of finding a person who can replace him.

The British Prime Minister spoke to the British Parliament and defended himself, shouting “no, no, no” when asked if he would resignfollowing the wave of executive exodus from his government, which has received a vote of tolerance some time ago.

At the same time, friends, allies, partners, and even the Conservatives themselves “empty” him and disagree with his leadership, even though they agreed a few 24 hours ago… Characteristic of the situation is that the tremors started from the resignations of the Ministers of Health and Financeexcept that the latter had reason to support Johnson until now.

Specifically, Mr Rishi Sunak had implemented a harsh economic policy that brought many Britons to the brink, while at the same time it was revealed that his wife – who owns billions herself and her family – has a special status to avoid paying taxes. In fact, when the news broke, Sunak defended his wife and asked those who denounced her to speak up, while Johnson flatly refused to discuss the possibility of his removal from the Treasury.

At the same time, in the last months, it was constantly revealed by an offense of Conservative MPs (it usually was cases of sexual abuse of minors ), with Johnson always standing up for members of his own party and removing them or asking for explanations only when it was too late.

In fact, a Sun journalist reported that the The Conservative ‘1922 Committee’ changed the law so that a motion of censure could be made against it. However, Conservative MPs said they would not so far seek a vote of confidence in Boris Johnson until at least next week, after the so-called “1922 Committee” which sets the party’s internal rules agreed today to proceed with the election of new members, before deciding whether to allow a new motion of impeachment against the prime minister.

How could Johnson be forced to resign and how might the process to find his replacement work?

Follows list of ways with which this could be done:

• Johnson could decide himself that he has lost the support of too many members of his party and his cabinet and resign. So far he has shown no intention of doing so.
• Other members of his cabinet could also quit and ask Johnson to leave, almost certainly forcing him to resign. But media reports say other senior members of his cabinet, including Home Secretary Liz Truss, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace and Prime Minister Michael Gove, remain in place.
• Some MPs are trying to change the party’s rules so they can hold another no-confidence vote earlier than is now allowed. Elections for the members of the so-called 1922 Committee, which defines the rules of the party, are expected to be held soon.

Finding a successor

If Johnson is forced out, a process will be held to find a new leader. Here’s how such a process, overseen by the 1922 Commission, is likely to work.

• Those who will be able to run for the leadership will have to be chosen by two other Conservative MPs. There can be a wide field of candidates.
• Conservative MPs will then hold a few rounds of voting to whittle down the number of candidates. Each time they are asked to vote for the candidate of their choice in a secret ballot and the person with the fewest votes is eliminated.
• This process is repeated until only two candidates remain. Previously, these votes were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
• Conservative Party members are then asked to cast a postal vote, choosing one of the two finalists who will ultimately be the new leader.
• The leader of the party with a majority in the House of Commons is the de facto prime minister. They don’t have to call early elections, but they have the ability to do so.
