If the UK was a democracy we could get rid of Johnson, who was elected only by a minority of voters, but as we are the only undemocratic country in Europe (apart from Russia's puppet state Belarus) we are powerless to remove this dangerous clown.
The thing with power-hungry megalomaniacs - and Johnson is one such - is that they under-estimate the true nature of their rise to popularity. Gung-ho and upbeat rhetoric will initially attract the people you want on your side. But if you don't deliver the promises, nor meet their expectations, eventually the crowd will turn against you.
Right wing, small-state,free-market, libertarian ideology will benefit a few, but we're now seeing how it effects ordinary people who are already struggling, and I think there will be a backlash.
Add to that the fact that gaffe-prone Johnson is beginning to irritate his own, I don't think it will be long before he effectively removes himself. He can only continue banging the drum for so long, until it begins to sound a tad irritating to those who are genuinely despairing at how they are going to manage the ever-increasing cost of living.
... I'm worried about who will replace him. Ultimately, though, he will go. And is probably already lining his ducks up in a row.
