Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London, and author of The Conservative Party from Thatcher to Cameron, said: “Boris Johnson won’t be merely a footnote in the future histories of this country, he’ll be a dire warning – an object lesson of what happens to a political party and a country when, out of desperation, it decides to make a complete charlatan and a visionless populist its leader. He proved himself utterly unfit to be prime minister, he cheapened our politics, and he poisoned our democracy.” iNewsProfessor Bale was also quoted in Daily Mail and Guardian articles on how Donald Trump and Boris Johnson ended up on different paths.
