Who is a Prime Minister?
Our parents are responsible for taking care of us. Like our parents, the government of any country is responsible for taking care of its people.
The government makes laws, rules, etc., that benefit its people. However, the government also needs someone to guide it. The person who guides the government is called the Prime Minister (PM).
PM is the leader of the government and is responsible for every law made by the government. For example, Narendra Modi, the PM of India, is responsible for all decisions taken by the Indian government.
Boris Johnson, the PM of the United Kingdom (UK), recently resigned. Let’s find out more about him!
Who is Boris Johnson?
Boris Johnson is the UK’s current PM. Before becoming the PM, he was the Mayor of London from 2008 to 2016. His time as the PM did not benefit many people. He has faced a lot of controversies because of his work. Recently, he was involved in another controversy that forced him to resign.
What controversy made Johnson resign?
Johnson, and many members of his government, illegally gathered to party during the lockdown in the UK and broke the lockdown rules. The UK public got very upset since Johnson was caught breaking the rules made by his own government.
The police fined Johnson for breaking the rules, and several ministers in his government resigned.
Due to public anger and the resignation of his ministers, Johnson had to resign from the position of the PM.
What will be the effects of Johnson’s resignation on the UK?
Since Johnson was involved in many controversies, the government of the UK has lost its public support. However, he will continue to work as the PM of the UK until a new PM is chosen. Rishi Sunak has the highest chance of becoming the next PM of the UK. The new PM will have to work hard to win back the lost public support!
