Thatcher to Johnson: Prime ministerial resignations over the years
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2022
- Since Margaret Thatcher's departure in 1990, every British prime minister since has met the same ending; a final goodbye on the lectern, and another resignation noted down in the annals of British history.
Boris Johnson most recently resigned as prime minister after mass ministerial resignations following the Chris Pincher scandal.
A look back at his predecessors sees Johnson fall into a line of former leaders who terminated their time in office for various reasons; low opinion polls, leadership challenges, the European Union (thrice over), and sleaze - to name but a few.

Absolutely by the way little England is hovering on the brink of fascism with braverman, the European Court of human rights was set up by Churchill specifically to stop Indian immigrants causing a return to fascism in Europe
The most hated = Tiny Blair
That would be Boris Johnson
Liz Truss anyone?
WE WANT MAY. WE WANT MAY
Sunak, Friday morning. 😂
eh when i was a lad, growing up in south east london at the age of 10 (1980) i worked, i worked on a market stall every saturday for over a year, i got paid £10, my pocket money at that time was 50p a week. by 1985 i was earning £256 in the profession i was in, i were 15 at the time and the Harry Enfield Loads OV Money sketch was ablaze all over our screens, imagine my situation... playing in the park with my friends, with a pocket full of 20's and they only had pocket money, those were the days under Thatcher, a leader who put money in our pockets and enabled the lower class to buy a home. Since then its been men who have ruled and everyone of them a sleaze bag who has driven us down again and again.. it takes a woman with good housekeeping to run this country so let hope we get one
lol what a load of bs most hated pm ever untill blair should have been wc no surprise londoners are
spineless bunch of cowards in the uk no surprise at the london protests spot the native londoner
london was the first city town the roman took over they said londoners already had their white flags out
@@eclark3849 hhhmmm, guess you never worked in your life.. that’s why you still hate Thatcher, the greatest British PM in living memory.. she changed the face of Britain. Hated her when I was naive engineering student.. but when I started work everything she said was true.. Tony BS Blier just benefited from all the transformation she had brought about and run the country down again. The budget was in surplus when Thatcher left… B_liar used up the money and we have been living in debt ever since… so mate, get your head out of your arsenal.. and give credit where it’s due..😏
Thatcher To Truss
Lol 😂 form 60 million can’t find the right person it’s over
Wow. These resignations happen far too often. When was the last time an American President resigned?
To be fair: in the time of the 7 Prime Ministers shown in this video (1979-present), the US has had 8 Presidents, but the systems just aren't comparable. US Presidents are the executive, directly elected, and hard to remove because of that. The UK Prime Minister is simply the leader of the governing party, answerable to the Queen, Parliament, their own party, and of course general election results. Of these, John Major and Gordon Brown resigned due to election defeats (US Presidents have to step down once their successor is elected). David Cameron resigned because a core policy was defeated in a referendum. The rest were effectively forced out by their own party once their authority or reputation was too damaged.
Could be worse, Australia get through a PM nearly ever other weekend 😂
Well actually if you look at it this way. You need a majority to become pm in Britain. So whenever an election happens the Current PM if he loses his majority then has to resign or risk a minority government. So technically every PM has to resign.
@@LolLol-ne9yw Spot on. Via convention it is essential that Prime Ministers resign as there is no codified constitution to state the actual process following an election loss or how a PM should be appointed or dismissed. If they failed to resign, it would undermine our uncodified constitution through breaking convention. That could be catastrophic, risking a democratic deficit potentially.
Mess the place up ditch your position sun it up on epsteins beach with your ill gotten gains!.....
Theresa....
💔💔
Shush don't upset the woke
Beyond caring, all nut jobs 🤣😅
Thanks for that bot.
We need a Prime Minister that has decades of experience in Westminster. One that has integrity and a vision for the UK. We need Labour to utilise their greatest asset. Someone make the Call!? It's time that the Rt Honourable, Internationally respected Statesman John Bercow takes his rightful place and puts the 'Great' back in Britain.
No we need to petition for our god given right to vote on everything no leaders just people voted in by the
the public to do what the public voted for and anyone of them in the new goverment can be
be voted out and replacf at any time by the public we should have done this centuries ago to many
spineless cowards who like being treated like dirt controlled murdered off by weak evil picked puppets who
by weak evil controlled lying murdering puppet psychos who obey their weak evil lord masters
