→ Boris Johnson to be new UK Prime Minister

in #politics5 years ago

Rob Beschizza, for Boing Boing:

Johnson defeated current Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt in the final round of voting. Theresa May quit the post after failing to convince Parliament to pass the Brexit deal her government negotiated with the European Union.

Johnson has until October 31 to figure out a better deal, but has signaled his happiness with there being no deal at all, allowing the UK to “crash out” of the EU irrespective of the economic or political fallout.

The US and the UK have been in this strange competition these past few years to prove who is dumber.

We live in interesting times.


†: Let’s not forget, May you live in interesting times is an old Chinese curse.
