Director of the Center for European Information, Associate Professor of MGIMO of the Russian Foreign Ministry Nikolai Topornin told RT about the likely course of the new British government formed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.


“Johnson wants to enlist the support of high-ranking representatives of the conservative party who are part of the government. He is also not free to choose, he consults with the leading party activist, it is quite obvious, ”the expert said.

He noted that it would be necessary for Boris Johnson to resolve the situation with the Brexit deal until October 31 and to conduct the agreement through the British political establishment divided into fronts.

“How can he“ push through ”his decision on“ hard ”brexit through parliament? He will not get the required number of votes - it will be the same as with Teresa May ... Under the new legislation, he does not have the right to resolve this issue without the consent of parliament. Such a trap is obtained, ”said Topornin.

Earlier, Boris Johnson appointed a new foreign minister of Great Britain.
