Boris Johnson: Brexit at all costs

Based on an internal party procedure involving approximately 160000 members of Tories (British Conservative Party), Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson briefly Known as Boris Johnson, he emerged as Prime Minister of Great Britain. Its emergence further enhances the emergence and conquest of power by controversial figures with populist characteristics with an anti-systemic profile.

Boris Johnson has been described as the “British Trump” because of his political behaviour and practice that resembles that of US President Donald Trump.

Based on what is attributed to them by friends and opponents, their common characteristics are excessive self-promotion, flexible rhetoric (Boris Johnson naturally has much better vocabulary because of his classical studies) which is indifferent to the reality that it probably does not identify with their positions, an influence on generologies and fake news, supporters of isolationism and divorced with what is called political correctness, focusing on the big picture and not on the details of Governance with a propensity to intuition and improvisation and not to detailed political preparation.

A vote by the Great Britain’s electorate for Prime Minister did not receive either Boris Johnson, who waited in the first place to precede a disastrous period of Theresa Mary May and to conduct an internal referendum of the British Conservative party, which essentially involved a negligible percentage of all English voters.

What marks the election of Boris Johnson world-wide?

The election and nomination of Boris Johnson comes as a continuation of the electoral victories of other controversial political personalities in other countries, including Mateo Salvini in Italy, Viktor Orban in Hungary, Zaire Bolsonaro in Brazil who they prove that we are faced with a more permanent and not transient political phenomenon.

Putting aside any particular circumstances prevailing in each country, the common characteristic that emerges from the emergence of the power of all these controversial political men, is that at least the majority of the electorate in these countries show a complete disregard for what values (policies) represent those politicians who are emerging in the government of each country.

Essentially all these political men and members of governments who choose are foundations all those values on which the Western edifice was built after the end of WWII. In other words, we have a drastic increase in the societies of the percentage of the electorate that really believes and shows it with his vote in the elections, that it does not need so much freedom and democracy.

In other words, the electorate with its vote shows that it needs a greater degree of fist and principle of one man, preferring the drastic contraction of the rule of law with always scapegoat the “punishment of the corrupt system”, believing that this “corrupt system” has brought the evils of poverty into societies. So, glory be to totalitarianism and the authoritarian capitalistic model of governance.

Indeed, all these political men are the idol that reflects that voter base of the electorate who believes that their personal interests and solving the problems of poverty, unemployment etc. which they cause, based on their beliefs, the various international conspiracies and the  “bad” immigrants will be solved by the isolationism offered by a landlocked nation.

Brexit at all costs and the possible political consequences

The election of the new UK Prime minister, Boris Johnson with the controversial past and the promise to distract the UK from the EU by declaring ” whatever the cost”, have made many British to worry that the UK will be in a catastrophic stalemate exit without prior agreement with the EU.

The goal of applying high-pressure diplomacy to the opponent and announcing that Boris Johnson will follow the EU, in order to force them to give him what concessions the UK wants, is it highness and extremely risky.

The EU may be characterised by various malfunctions and delays in its decision-making (it is customary that it should change one and two seasons of the year in order to make a definitive decision by the EU on a subject) but through all these years the EU member-countries have proven that when faced with political “blackmail” they are all united as a fist.

Boris Johnson’s policy will risk dangerous to bring the UK into a position to experience isolationism from its natural and vital market which is the European continental market and not the Commonwealth market.

Europe historically or those who have been controlling Europe in various historical periods has proved that it implements its political isolation to “drown” any rival.

It is the policy of isolation that the Ottomans applied historically first against Byzantium and succeeded in conquering it. It is the policy of isolation that Napoleon Bonaparte and the Nazi German Third Reich implemented against the UK equally, and as we know they failed both times.

In the current era when the trade war rages between the US and China, the position of new Prime Minister Boris Johnson could bring the EU into a trade war with the UK, forcing the UK to bind to the US economic, commercial and political chariot of Donald Trump on any terms.

Throwing at the same time more oil in the fire of commercial wars that will rage on the planet, delimiting geopolitical changes in the global geopolitical chessboard. In this case, the EU, and given Germany’s approach to Russia, will strengthen its positions with Russia in a joint security plan in Europe including Russia.

At the same time, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar argued (28/07/2019) that since the UK has indeed withdrawn from the EU without an agreement (31/10/2019), it will inevitably raise the issue of a future Irish union with the Northern Ireland and the undermining of the Good Friday Agreement (1998).

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean is formed a front of Senators of Irish descent with Democratic and Republican participation, in order to block any UK-US trade agreement if threatened with any way the peace and prosperity of Ireland, based on the Good Friday Agreement.

We should not be eluding Scotland for requesting a second referendum on its stay or not in the EU.

I believe that it is understandable to everyone that this announced strategy of Boris Johnson is extremely dangerous and involves high rates of catastrophic consequences for the UK.

The UK’s annual exports to the EU represent a figure that moves around 13% of the UK’s annual GDP, while the corresponding EU export rate to the UK is an annual rate of 2.5% of the EU-27 annual GDP. The elimination of the backstop at the Irish border will not be accepted by the EU.

Fairly many Brits are so worried about solving the Brexit and the future of British unity and economy.
