As I keep saying..
It’s psychologically difficult for many to admit that Johnson is a useless charlatan...as admitting this would call into question Brexit.
So in a way an incompetent corrupt Johnson is a better guarantor of votes than any smart relatively clean Tory successor.

It’s “psychological complicity” - and as in so many things in life leads to strange irrational outcomes.
Thus we’ve now reached a stage that Johnson could effectively do anything.
Because people’s belief that their single vote for Brexit was the right choice...must be saved.

It’s why Brexit & Boris inextricably linked.
As its almost impossible to cognitively reject Brexit without first rejecting Boris Johnson.
(Altho the opposite is possible)
So the real battle is not Brexit, but 1st Boris Johnson.
People get this even if they don’t express it.

I’m sure Boris gets this too.
It’s an amazing level of power than even Thatcher, who feared the ebb & flow of public opinion, ever had.
Boris knows that so long as he presents everything as patriotic Brexit vs remain he can quite literally get away with thousands of deaths.

It’s why if rejoiners are smart - and this belief has been sorely tested a bit recently - they will concentrate on Boris Johnson before Brexit.
You cannot get people to reject Brexit before they reject Boris Johnson.
