Pretty best enemies: Boris Johnson survived a politically-his rival David Cameron.

Many people say that Boris Johnson did at 24. June 2016 the rash for the Brexit given. He personally brought at least ten percent of the voters to the EU to vote in a Referendum for the exit, especially, to push his rival David Cameron from office, and to the Prime Minister. The could him succeed now with a bit of delay.

After the Referendum, and Cameron's resignation was still gone wrong. His Brexit-comrades-in-arms Michael Gove had been taken from him, surprisingly, the support for, and went himself into the race. Johnson withdrew his candidacy.

a Lot of mistrust, "brother profligate"

Although it was the beefy Ex-mayor of London, the party members already at that time, immensely popular - on party days rocked the tousled blonde the Halle tuft on a regular basis. However, in the group, he had too many enemies. They saw in him a brother profligate, you should prefer to entrust any important office: "Boris the life and soul of every Party. But not the man you want at the end of the Evening, a ride home," said 2016, the current labour Minister, Amber Rudd.

Johnson took it with the truth is never as accurate. As a young correspondent of the "Times" in Brussels, he poured out regularly of poison and bile on the EU-bureaucracy. The newspaper threw him, however, because many of the quotations with which he aufpeppte his article, were invented.

Johnson's claims about the EU costs proved to be untrue - in court, he had to answer anyway.

Prior to the Referendum, the inscription on the red Bus, with the Johnson through the country of transit promised that we could save 350 million pounds per week by withdrawal from the EU, and instead in British hospitals are investing in. The number is not agreed.
