British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has turned to the former head of government this Tuesday Boris Johnson, who has made his first campaign appearance less than 48 hours before the doors of the polling stations open in the United Kingdom, with the aim of containing the more than expected and certain victory of the Labor Party in this Thursday’s general elections.
Johnson has arrived at a Conservative Party rally at the National Army Museum in London where he has only thanked the ‘premier’ for having asked him to attend, although He had no further words to say about the achievements of the current tenant of Downing Street. while he has taken the opportunity to defend the policies he promoted while in government.
“If you’re a little surprised to see me, let me be absolutely clear that I was glad when Rishi asked me for help. Of course, I couldn’t say no. We’re here because we love our country. Whatever our differences, they’re absolutely trivial compared to the disaster we may face “if these so-called opinion polls are correct,” he said.
“48 hours to save the United Kingdom”
At the meeting, Johnson accused the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, of trying to “establish the most left-wing Labour government since the war with a large majority.”
He also said that it would “destroy much” of what his political party has “achieved.” “It would be the height of madness if these polls were right,” he said.
As he left the lectern, Sunak thanked his predecessor for his support, stressing that “he is right to say that now is the time for all Conservatives to unite to deny Labour the supermajority that Keir Starmer yearns for.”“We have 48 hours to save the United Kingdom from the danger of a Labour government”has warned.
With this call, Sunak has used his “emergency button” as the controversial Johnson excites his supporters with his typically chaotic performance. However, his intervention to please the public has come too late to save the Conservatives from a possible defeat at the polls, according to British television channel Sky News.
The scandal over the parties held in Downing Street during the pandemic and known as ‘Partygate’ ended up accelerating Johnson’s resignation on September 6, 2021, amid pressure from his own colleagues due to the discredit that the Conservative Party was acquiring due to this and other scandals under his mandate.
