Alexander Boris Depp faivre Johnson (English: Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, 1964 June 19-).

From July 20 16 to July 20 18, Johnson served as Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary in Theresa May's cabinet, which succeeded David Cameron as British Prime Minister.

20 19 in may, after Theresa may, then British prime minister, announced her resignation, Johnson took part in the competition to succeed the leader and prime minister of the conservative party as a backbencher, and together with Jeremy hunter, one of the challengers at that time, defeated many opponents in the party, and both entered the stage of runoff voting.

Finally, according to the billing results on July 23rd, Johnson was elected as the new leader of the Conservative Party. On July 24th, he officially took over as Prime Minister and rotating chairman of the Commonwealth, becoming the14th British Prime Minister during the reign of King Elizabeth II.

This election also set a new record for the Conservative Party to win the most seats in Parliament since the 1987 general election.

Johnson is a controversial political figure in Britain. His supporters claim that he is humorous and can attract the support of non-traditional conservative voters, such as working-class voters and non-conservative Eurosceptic voters.

But at the same time, he was criticized for pursuing elitism, xenophobia, nepotism, laziness and dishonesty, and was also accused of repeatedly making remarks involving racism and gender discrimination. He is also the author of several biographies and the protagonist in fiction.

Political Views

Ideologically, Johnson described himself as "a conservative in a country". Tony travers, a scholar at the London School of Economics and Political Science, described Johnson as "quite a typical conservative with a small government and moderate Euroscepticism". He also readily accepted travers's admiration for Cameron and george osborne's "modern social liberalism".

The Guardian agrees that Johnson mixed economic and social liberalism during his tenure as mayor, and The Economist claims that Johnson has "surpassed his Conservative Party status" and adopted a more liberal stance.

Johnson's colleague Stuart Reid described the latter view as "a liberal view of social liberalism".

Johnson retained the "conservative elements" in his personality by "loving the existing rules and realizing the inevitability of social hierarchy".
