Chonthrogiannis<em>-https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boris Johnson has been described as the &#8220;British Trump&#8221; because\nof his political behaviour and practice that resembles that of US President\nDonald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on what is attributed to them by friends and opponents, their common\ncharacteristics are excessive self-promotion, flexible rhetoric (Boris Johnson\nnaturally has much better vocabulary because of his classical studies) which is\nindifferent to the reality that it probably does not identify with their\npositions, an influence on generologies and fake news, supporters of\nisolationism and divorced with what is called political correctness, focusing\non the big picture and not on the details of Governance with a propensity to\nintuition and improvisation and not to detailed political preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A vote by the Great Britain&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/184px-Boris_Johnson_MP.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-872\" width=\"452\" height=\"589\"\/><figcaption><strong>Boris Johnson: the Prime Minister of UK<\/strong><br>Photo by Author: GOV.UK, licensed Open Government License,<br>Source: https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/speeches\/boris-johnson-first-speech-as-prime-minister-24-july-2019<br>https:\/\/www.nationalarchiver.gov.uk\/doc\/open-government-license\/version\/3\/<br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What marks the election of Boris Johnson world-wide?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The election and nomination of Boris Johnson comes as a continuation of the\nelectoral victories of other controversial political personalities in other\ncountries, including Mateo Salvini in Italy, Viktor Orban in Hungary, Zaire\nBolsonaro in Brazil who they prove that we are faced with a more permanent and\nnot transient political phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting aside any particular circumstances prevailing in each country, the\ncommon characteristic that emerges from the emergence of the power of all these\ncontroversial political men, is that at least the majority of the electorate in\nthese countries show a complete disregard for what values (policies) represent\nthose politicians who are emerging in the government of each country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially all these political men and members of governments who choose\nare foundations all those values on which the Western edifice was built after\nthe end of WWII. In other words, we have a drastic increase in the societies of\nthe percentage of the electorate that really believes and shows it with his\nvote in the elections, that it does not need so much freedom and democracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, the electorate with its vote shows that it needs a greater\ndegree of fist and principle of one man, preferring the drastic contraction of\nthe rule of law with always scapegoat the &#8220;punishment of the corrupt\nsystem&#8221;, believing that this &#8220;corrupt system&#8221; has brought the evils of poverty into\nsocieties. So, glory be to totalitarianism and the authoritarian capitalistic\nmodel of governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, all these political men are the idol that reflects that voter base\nof the electorate who believes that their personal interests and solving the\nproblems of poverty, unemployment etc. which they cause, based on their beliefs, the various international\nconspiracies and the&nbsp; \u201cbad\u201d immigrants\nwill be solved by the isolationism offered by a landlocked nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Brexit at all costs and the possible political consequences<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The election of the new UK Prime minister, Boris Johnson with the\ncontroversial past and the promise to distract the UK from the EU by declaring\n&#8221; whatever the cost&#8221;, have made many British to worry that the UK\nwill be in a catastrophic stalemate exit without prior agreement with the EU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of applying high-pressure diplomacy to the opponent and announcing\nthat Boris Johnson will follow the EU, in order to force them to give him what\nconcessions the UK wants, is it highness and extremely risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU may be characterised by various malfunctions and delays in its\ndecision-making (it is customary that it should change one and two seasons of\nthe year in order to make a definitive decision by the EU on a subject) but\nthrough all these years the EU member-countries have proven that when faced\nwith political &#8220;blackmail&#8221; they are all united as a fist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boris Johnson&#8217;s policy will risk dangerous to bring the UK into a position\nto experience isolationism from its natural and vital market which is the\nEuropean continental market and not the Commonwealth market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe historically or those who have been controlling Europe in various\nhistorical periods has proved that it implements its political isolation to\n&#8220;drown&#8221; any rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the policy of isolation that the Ottomans applied historically first\nagainst Byzantium and succeeded in conquering it. It is the policy of isolation\nthat Napoleon Bonaparte and the Nazi German Third Reich implemented against the\nUK equally, and as we know they failed both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the current era when the trade war rages between the US and China, the position\nof new Prime Minister Boris Johnson could bring the EU into a trade war with\nthe UK, forcing the UK to bind to the US economic, commercial and political\nchariot of Donald Trump on any terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throwing at the same time more oil in the fire of commercial wars that will\nrage on the planet, delimiting geopolitical changes in the global geopolitical\nchessboard. In this case, the EU, and given Germany&#8217;s approach to Russia, will\nstrengthen its positions with Russia in a joint security plan in Europe including\nRussia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar argued (28\/07\/2019)\nthat since the UK has indeed withdrawn from the EU without an agreement\n(31\/10\/2019), it will inevitably raise the issue of a future Irish union with\nthe Northern Ireland and the undermining of the Good Friday Agreement (1998).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean is formed a front of Senators of\nIrish descent with Democratic and Republican participation, in order to block\nany UK-US trade agreement if threatened with any way the peace and prosperity\nof Ireland, based on the Good Friday Agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should not be eluding Scotland for requesting a second referendum on its\nstay or not in the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that it is understandable to everyone that this announced strategy\nof Boris Johnson is extremely dangerous and involves high rates of catastrophic\nconsequences for the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK&#8217;s annual exports to the EU represent a figure that moves around 13%\nof the UK&#8217;s annual GDP, while the corresponding EU export rate to the UK is an\nannual rate of 2.5% of the EU-27 annual GDP. The elimination of the backstop at\nthe Irish border will not be accepted by the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fairly many Brits are so worried about solving the Brexit and the future of\nBritish unity and economy.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thanos S.
