In Britain, the ruling conservative party has lost the seats it has protected for nearly 200 years in the by-elections of the House of Representatives, and it is likely to be a big blow to Prime Minister Johnson, who has been criticized for dealing with the new coronavirus.
In Britain, the ruling Conservative Party was defeated in a by-election in the House of Representatives on the 16th, losing seats in the central constituency that it had protected for nearly 200 years.
The defeat of the ruling party is believed to be influenced by criticism and dissatisfaction with the Johnson administration.
In the United Kingdom, the infection of new coronaviruses such as the mutant virus Omicron strain has spread rapidly, and the number of infected people per day is over 90,000, and anxiety is spreading among people before Christmas.
Under these circumstances, suspicions of having a Christmas party at the Prime Minister's Office in December last year, when restrictions on the new corona were tightened over the Johnson administration, were raised, and a press conference was being rehearsed in anticipation of a reporter's pursuit of this. The video has also leaked, and criticism is increasing.
It is reported that not only the opposition party but also the ruling party has openly questioned the leadership of Prime Minister Johnson, and there is a movement to seek a change of party leader.
According to a survey that the approval rating of the prime minister, which was 47% in March, has dropped to 31% this month, the result of this election is likely to be a big blow to the administration.
