The British Parliament decided on the future of Prime Minister Boris Johnson on June 6. He has probably become the most popular foreign leader in Ukraine.

Sensations did not happen. The experienced politician has withstood the trial and will continue his term as Her Majesty's Prime Minister.

You can read about Johnson's resignation and Ukraine's role in it in the article by Yuri Panchenko, expert of Foreign Policy Council "Ukrainian Prism" and EuroPravda editor, "Unbreakable Boris: How Ukraine Helped the British Prime Minister Keep His Post."

British Conservatives decided to "raise a riot" against their leader.

Johnson's party members had to submit official letters to the party's headquarters to remove the Prime Minister from office. They expressed disagreement with the incumbent's policies and doubts about his ability to continue to run the country.

After that, a no-confidence vote began. Via a secret ballot of MPs, Johnson needed 180 votes to survive.

If the Prime Minister does not receive enough votes, he does not only lose his post but also the party elects a new leader internally.

If he wins the no-confidence vote, the Prime Minister will be safe from such a challenge for 12 months.

In fact, Boris Johnson managed to create enough scandals for a no-confidence vote. So his enemies in normal conditions would have brought it to the agenda much earlier - say, in the first weeks after the monarch's speech and the opening of a new parliamentary session.

Among the scandals are the "COVID parties" that describe the Gray report, his recent initiatives to breach international law and unilaterally tear up the Northern Ireland Protocol, and the inability to reach an adequate agreement with the EU to end Brexit.

Johnson's opponents lacked only 32 votes. The no-confidence vote supported 148 deputies, while 211 voted against him.

What saved the Prime Minister in office?

The first reason is the lack of replacement. The second reason for Johnson's victory was the current Russian-Ukrainian war and the UK leadership in helping Ukraine.

So, Boris Johnson survived the no-confidence vote. Theoretically, it saves him a year from another one and resignation.

However, not everything is so simple, and this victory may be the last for the British Prime Minister.

Johnson's predecessor, Theresa May, also survived a no-confidence vote. She got more votes and still resigned after six months. An even more striking example is the legendary Margaret Thatcher, who resigned eight days after the no-confidence vote.

So Boris Johnson has got a break from the accusations but never an indulgence.
