Good morning Mastodon followers!
Your thoughts please.
In 2019 Johnson led his party to an 80-majority at a general election.
A PM with a substantial parliamentary majority has the most powerful prize our constitution can bestow.
Yet.
Less than a parliamentary term later, he not only lost the premiership, he is no longer even a member of parliament.
Is this an example of our constitutional arrangements working or not working?
What does this remarkable fall tell us about our constitution?
