UK: New Prime Minister, old problems
A change of government in London is a brutal thing: The outgoing Prime Minister had lunch their last question time in Parliament, was welcomed by her party there with a lot of hypocritical applause and delivered a last little skirmish with the leader of the opposition. You do that again, as if they had something to say.
Minutes later, Theresa May stood in front of the door to Downing Street, to speak your words of farewell. No tears this time, as in the case of her resignation announcement, she seemed almost relieved to be able to the place of their defeat to the back. Her successor, she gave a tip on the way: “The Brexit must work for the whole country”, re rejection of a hard exit from the EU. Theresa May will return to the back benches of the Parliament. Because you could get the Chance to vote in October against.
As a preacher before the Lord
Shortly after the ritual visit to the commencement at the Queen – turned Boris Johnson, at the lectern in Downing Street. In twelve minutes, he delivered a rhetorical Rode through the vegetable garden, imaginative and slightly chaotic, sometimes brilliant, often a speech full of Gags and effects, typical of Boris Johnson is just the exaggeration. Johnson seemed like one of those southern preachers in the U.S., the talk to your audience, so to speak, the mind.
A mandatory date for two: Boris Johnson at the Queen
The most important part of his speech überbordener, unbridled, foaming optimism was there. The future is going to be great, the country needed to believe in it, the British were full of “We-create-it”mentality. “Who bets against the United Kingdom, loses his shirt”, a slogan he has, incidentally, stole it from Bill Clinton. Whether the mocking and skeptical mentality of the British people this government should learn to love your own entertainment, have yet to reveal themselves.
As for his plans, so he promised all things to all people. These Commitments are based, apparently, to the fact that in the garden of no 10 Downing Street is growing, more recently, the money on the trees. Johnson wants to give the health system the NHS more funding, the schools, the welfare system for the Elderly and the needy, he wants to renew outdated infrastructure, and broadband cable throughout the country – has been a part of this promise, nor any Prime Minister in recent years, only a fraction of that. The unbridled promise point to the fact that Boris Johnson, the austerity policy of the last decade, and as much money as possible in the economic pumps.
The Brexit comes guaranteed
Once more, the new Prime Minister, Brexit confirmed-the day of the 31 will. October. He say to his “friends in Ireland, in Brussels and throughout the EU: I am convinced that we can conclude a Deal without border controls (in Ireland)”. The so-called Backstop was undemocratic, and Boris Johnson made it clear that this provision of the exit agreement for him to be dead. You mean that the UK would remain in the customs Union until a new agreement between the EU and the Kingdom would be completed.
The Brexitbus catches up with Boris Johnson again and again
The resistance of the hard Brexiteers against the Backstop has brought Theresa May’s case, and Johnson can’t afford to appear willing to compromise. “They (the Brexiteers) would tear me to shreds,” he joked before his inauguration. He’ll negotiate a new Deal, assured the newly crowned Premier when he took office. How this would work, in view of the categorical rejection from Brussels, he left it open. It’s all a question of optimism, it seems.
And if Brussels does not want to negotiate, contrary to his acceptance with him, then it will be a hard Brexit. At the point its supporters are likely to get on the right of the Tory wings, glowing eyes. You know that you crave the disorderly exit, to be immediately all of the commitments to the EU.
Boris Johnson wants to. this hard break with the 39 billion pounds of sweeten that he would have to pay otherwise, according to the exit agreement to the EU However, he Wants to later, a trade agreement with the EU, he must still pay. About such Details, the new Prime across, however, like to.
Anyway, he wants to prepare the country and the economy to a hard Brexit. A public campaign should be planned. His critics will remind him of the ill-fated Brexitbus, with which he had promised in 2016, an additional 350 million per week for the health care system. Many Britons have believed it at the time, and to him the lie is not forgiven.
In the Cabinet a bloodbath
The Cabinet reshuffle, a new Prime Minister pulls in the first hours after his arrival, fully, designed, however, to a veritable bloodbath, a night of the long knives on bright days, because of Theresa may’s Ministers someone was hardly in the office.
The dark side of the force: Priti Patel is to be a Minister
Under the New a few hard-liners that give a hint to Boris Johnson’s future course are. Minister of foreign Affairs of the former Brexit-Minister Dominic Raab, the due to its undiplomat and confrontational style of the negotiators in Brussels is quite unpopular was – a challenge to a moderate course in foreign policy. Interior Minister Priti Patel, who is so right that it took a few years ago, the re-introduction of the death penalty. This is the rejection of a liberal Inner – and migration policy, which was represented by Boris Johnson as mayor of London and, most recently, in his election campaign.
The advantage for Johnson is that he has the stand with the loyalists surrounds, for a completely new political course. The disadvantage is that it fills in the rear ranks of the conservatives group in Parliament with a rebel army, a few dozen Angry and Frustrated. His majority in the lower house is only two votes. How he wants to win any vote, let alone the crucial about the Brexit, appears puzzling. It could be that Boris Johnson’s finest hour during his speech in front of the door of Downing Street, as he is completely detached to the British, the blue was able to promise down from heaven.
