Bojo as anti-democracy

By Vladan Lausevic | Vlad's politics | 17 Jun 2023


The report suggests that if Boris Johnson were still a Member of Parliament, he should face a 90-day suspension for repeatedly showing contempt for the House. The committee accuses him of deliberately misleading the House and the Committee, breaching confidence, undermining the democratic process, and being complicit in a campaign of abuse and intimidation. The report expresses the committee's deep disgust at Johnson's behavior and recommends denying him access to the parliamentary estate.

The committee's conclusions highlight a psychological claim about Johnson's worldview, stating that he repeatedly denied facts and closed his mind to what was obvious. Several biographies support this characterization, portraying Johnson as someone who believed he was exempt from the rules of life. The report acknowledges that Johnson has faced political setbacks but has returned as a rejuvenated figure.

While some may view this as the end of Johnson's political career, the report suggests that he had a post-parliamentary strategy aimed at promoting populist narratives and framing himself as a victim of oppression. The report warns of a potentially dangerous phase in Johnson's career, where he can operate without the constraints of conventional political office. It highlights the risk that the controversy surrounding the report may fuel Johnson's populist agenda, bolstering his position and eventually paving the way for a return to frontline politics.

The report emphasizes the dangers of playing fast and loose with facts, which led to Johnson's ousting from No. 10. It suggests that rather than retiring quietly, Johnson is likely to pursue a more populist-heavy approach in the future.
