That is why the Supreme Court's unanimous decision is of such importance:as the constitutional expert John Finnis points out, here, the SC's judgement is unconstitutional. Carry on, was the Establishment's marching orders. The public did not appreciate, voted to Leave, and exposed the real lie underpinning British membership- that there yes nothing to worry about and the powers of the British state were not being hollowed out, or warped in any way. In fact, the encroachment of EU law reinforced executive powers at the expense of British common law and representative government. They had previously maintained the fiction that the encroachment of EU law on British sovereignt was purely marginal. Remainers as his opponents were called were prepared under mrs May's guidance to subordinate the UK as an offshore province of the EU legal order. In the subsequent four years, the losers mounted q campaign to reverse the verdict of the majority of voters, to the point of constitutional vandalism of an unprecedented nature. His cause won, eliciting a fierce response from the losers. Rather, Johnson rebounded from these setbacks, and became twice the Mayor of London, and then the main Conservative party leader of the Leave side in the June 2016 referendum on Brexit. But they were not, suggesting that standards of behaviour in the UK expected of public figures had slipped.
In earlier times, represented by the virtues of the Queen, such behaviour would have been terminal to his career. The main charge against him is the he was an inveterate liar- the examples cited above from The Times, his being fired by Michael Howard and his string of extramarital affairs being undeniable. It is quite clear that Prime Minister Johnson was hounded from office by a rolling attack on his character, rather than on his policies which were though the main target. However, in this case, her facts are erroneous. Ms Khruschev's analyses are always worth reading. In any case, upholding the British constitution by overseeing this transfer of power was a fitting final act for a figure who represented a source of legitimacy rooted in a thousand years of British history. Judging by her own populist record, Truss may turn out to be little better than Johnson. The day after she accepted Johnson’s resignation, Elizabeth welcomed his successor, Liz Truss, the third woman to hold the post. And this was hardly the only scandal that plagued Johnson’s premiership on the contrary, it was a steady stream of misconduct that forced him out. The UK’s Supreme Court quickly countermanded that action, ruling unanimously that Johnson’s request was illegal. In 2019, he asked her to prorogue (suspend) Parliament so that he could avoid resistance – or, indeed, any form of political scrutiny – as he pushed through Britain’s exit from the European Union. Johnson was the only prime minister ever to draw the Queen directly – even deliberately – into scandal. No one could highlight, at least by contrast, the Queen’s strengths better than Britain’s unprincipled populist.
MOSCOW – One of Queen Elizabeth II’s final acts was to accept the resignation of disgraced Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the most mendacious and incompetent of the 15 prime ministers who led the United Kingdom during her 70-year reign.
