THE Boris Johnson she eventually resigned as prime minister Britainas after the Chris Pincher scandal, he found himself with his “back against the wall”, with friends and allies turning into enemies.

The British media report that the case of Chris Pincher, who was in charge of party discipline for the Conservatives, was the reason for the former British prime minister to fallwho began to lose the trust of citizens and politicians, after various scandals that came to light and related to his government.

In particular, Pincher was considered a close ally of Johnson and the man who convinced dissenters to always toe the Downing Street line. In fact, he himself has a rich resume with a long political career.

The possible replacements

After Johnson’s resignation, a huge debate has begun in Britain about the person to replace him, as there will not be an early election. So here are the top ten names, based on the international press:

Ben Wallace

For the Times, the most likely successor is Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, whose role was particularly highlighted by the recent invasion of Ukraine, although he generally keeps a low profile and distances himself from incidents of corruption and political intrigue. As a former Army Chief he is party disciplined, therefore supporting Boris Johnson in the impeachment proceedings against him.

Rishi Sunak

The former finance minister is seen as a likely favourite, even though he is among the ministers who have resigned under the weight of the rapid revelations, noting that “the public rightly expects the government to behave properly, competently and seriously”.

His high popularity is based on the fact that he was responsible for providing state aid during the pandemic, opening the public coffers to everyone, however receiving arrows of late for the high levels of accuracy.

Dominic Raab

Justice Secretary Dominic Raab filled in for Boris Johnson during his hospitalization and is considered one of his most trusted confidants. For this reason, it is not excluded that he will also be proposed for transitional leader of the Conservatives.

Penny Mordant

A dynamic woman who claims the reins of the Conservatives, Penny Mordant has been a preacher of Brexit, while she is responsible for the revival of trade relations with the USA, which is why she is perceived as a favorite with a performance of 5.50 by betting companies.

Syed Javid

Having served as a Minister with many different portfolios, the Health Minister is a big fan of Margaret Thatcher and the free market, while moving government policy from horizontal restrictions to individual responsibility in Great Britain’s handling of the pandemic.

Liz Truss

The Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss, declares her loyalty to Boris Johnson in the last few hours, but she herself, however, had recently intensified her contacts with Conservative executives and MPs, scouting the climate for her next political step up.

Nadhim Zahawi

A child of refugees from Iraq, Nadhim Zahawi distinguished himself as the Minister responsible for vaccination and in the last few hours he was named the Minister of Finance. However, he is burdened with cases of dereliction of duty, while maintaining a connection with companies operating in tax havens.

Priti Patel

Although the child of immigrants from India, her hard-line stance on illegal immigration catapulted her into the Conservative fold, as she has repeatedly opposed the arrival of immigrants to the UK.

Jeremy Hunt

This is the male version of Theresa May, as Conservative MPs observe Jeremy Hunt with a performance of 13 in the betting, which, according to the Financial Times, makes his colleagues skeptical about his rise to the leadership of the Conservatives.

Tom Tungenhat

Journalist and foreign policy analyst Tom Tungenhat with 13 betting odds is one of the critics of Boris Johnson as his potential successor, while he is equally negative towards Great Britain-China bilateral relations, resulting in Beijing imposing personal sanctions on him .

Michael Gove

This is the absolute opponent of Boris Johnson, who although he scores a performance of 21 in terms of the succession race, he was the one who urged the Prime Minister to resign, resulting in his dismissal in the last twenty-four hours.
