• Profile.Boris Johnson, a charismatic and "unreliable" prime minister

Boris Johnson thanked the moment of "national resolution" at the 12-D election meeting and said he plans to use "the extraordinary majority" of 365 deputies (compared to 203 of Labor) to "unite and raise the level" of politics . The 'premier' promised the constitution of a "Government of the people" next Monday and reiterated his intention to complete Brexit on January 31.

Johnson especially thanked the support that the British who "voted for the first time for the Conservative Party" and allowed him to demolish the "red wall" in the industrial north of England. In a different tone to the populist discourse with which he celebrated the victory, the conservative leader promised to be faithful to the feelings of those who voted for permanence and "seek a new society among equals with the European Union."

Johnson asked his countrymen to put aside the arid discussions of the last three years. "It is time to heal the wounds and stop talking about Brexit," he said, without needing to remember his intention to finally vote on his agreement to leave the EU in a week "in a new Parliament."

The 'premier' acknowledged that the British's top priority is the National Health System (NHS) and promised an injection of billions over the next five years, with the creation of up to 50 hospitals and the hiring of 50,000 nurses. Johnson also promised to give priority to financing schools, hiring 20,000 new police officers and investing in infrastructure.

"After five weeks of campaigning, the country needs to return to its affairs and pause politics," said the conservative leader, at the time of revalidating his stay in Downing Street and wish his countrymen "a merry Christmas."

As in his morning speech, as soon as the most overwhelming majority of conservatives have been confirmed since Margaret Thatcher's victory in 1987, Johnson pledged to rule under the principles of the moderate conservatism of "One Nation" ("one nation"), flagged in his day by David Cameron, who was the first to congratulate him on his "extraordinary and powerful result that marks the end of Jeremy Corbyn" .

"It has been an irrefutable, irresistible and indisputable decision of the people," Johnson said early in the morning before a handful of militants 'tories', with the adrenaline of the victory still recent. "We are going to put aside the miserable threat of a second referendum and regain control of our borders, our money and our trade. We will unlock the full potential of this country."

From the other side of the Atlantic, and despite his effort to mark distances, congratulations came from President Trump in the telegraphic form of Twitter: "Congratulations to Boris Johnson for his great victory! The United Kingdom and the United States will now be free to reach a massive commercial agreement after Brexit !.
