Boris Johnson started 2019 as a Tory backbencher. He ends the year as the most powerful British prime minister since Tony Blair
, in a way that threatened the union itself.
Who might tackle these problems, which had so overwhelmed Mrs May? By June it was clear that the next prime minister would be Boris Johnson, the overwhelming favourite among Conservative Party members, who had by now persuaded sceptical fellow MPs that he had the best chance of winning an election for the Tories.Mr Johnson’s success lay in persuading everyone that he would govern in just the way they wanted.
in order to try to stop it from legislating against no-deal. The plan backfired, uniting rebel MPs who had until this point sat on their hands. Before Parliament could be packed up, they passed a law that would force Mr Johnson to seek an extension of the Brexit negotiating period. The prime minister was further humiliated in September when. MPs returned to work the next day.
Forced to request a Brexit extension and facing a struggle to get anything much through Parliament, Mr Johnson begged the House of Commons for an election. Labour declined the contest until the extension period had safely begun. On December 12th voters faced an unappealing choice between Mr Johnson’s promise of a hard Brexit and Mr Corbyn’s vow to “rewrite the rules of the economy” along radical socialist lines.
