Anyone who thinks America is badly governed right now can comfort themselves that at least we aren’t Britain. Because for all the insanity of Washington, nothing can beat the utter breakdown of politics in Westminster.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned yesterday after a terrible two-and-a-half years in office. He came to power in 2019 by winning a general election with an impressive 80-seat majority for one main reason. In 2016 the British public had voted to leave the European Union. After that the Brexit side then fell out with each other. And as a result the Prime Ministership slipped into the hands of Theresa May, who had been in favor of the EU.
