Well, a bunch of reasons, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back:

A Tory MP, appropriately named Chris Pincher, has been suspended following allegations that he drunkenly groped 2 other MPs last week. Since then, 14 other allegations made against him have been publicised. The response from Boris Johnson and 10 Downing Street has been pathetic.

First, Johnson said he knew nothing about any allegations against Pincher, but then a former civil servant quoted Johnson as having described Pincher as "Pincher by name, Pincher by nature. Johnson then said he knew only about rumours of Pincher's behaviour, before it then turned out that Johnson had been personally briefed on Pincher.

Then, Downing Street insisted that while this was true, Pincher's behaviour had already been investigated and the matter had been resolved. Then, however, a publicised letter from Lord McDonald, said that the matter had been "resolved" in the sense that the investigation was completed, but that said investigation had not exonerated Pincher, and that's a f*cking important caveat!

Worse still for Johnson, this scandal comes of the back of another, in which Boris Johnson was found to have gotten a BJ from his then mistress, Carrie, while his wife at the time was suffering from cancer. Some have suggested that the news of Pincher was leaked by Johnson to distract from that scandal. If so, it's backfired horribly for him.

The Tories have been full of sex scandals in the past 6 months alone.

One MP had to resign after he was caught watching porn in the house of commons.

A second, was suspended for sexual harassment and drug use.

A third has been arrested on suspicion of rape.

A fourth was jailed for sexually assaulting a 15 year old boy.

That, combined with losing horrendously in multiple by-elections in a row, and terrible results at the local elections, Boris Johnson has met the consequences of his own actions.

Oh, and I completely forgot to mention Partygate, in which Tory MPs and others were found to have had multiple parties and social gatherings that were not socially distanced. These party also involved extreme drinking, vomiting and even fist fighting. Downing Street security and janitorial staff were horrendously mistreated during these events as well.

Also, only the younger junior civil servants, who were inexperienced were fined, even though they were often taken to these parties not entirely willingly. The senior civil servants and MPs have received no punishment at all.

Keir Starmer of the Labour party has faced similar accusations, but the circumstances were not remotely the same.

1. Lockdown rules were less strict than in the Tory events.
2. His "party" was socially distanced.
3. It was work related and they simply had some takeaway food at the end of the day because they were in a hotel, far from home, and all the shops and restaurants were closed because of lockdown.

The situation is that everybody knows that all politcians are awful lying degenerates but he happens to have been caught out as being an awful lying degenerate and so his own people have turned on him wanting to distance themselves from him in hopes that people will somehow think he is just one bad apple but this is absurd because it isn't fooling anyone.

It does seem to be cathartic though all the same, it really shouldn't work but it probably will, they just scapegoat Bojo, put a new asshole in his place and then carry on like people actually have some faith in them.

If anyone does have faith it is born out of their status and class interest, these criminals being the lesser of the 2 evils; their primary fear being a government which might do something to level the playing field, or increase their tax burden etc.

I think it is a situation where they spend so much time talking bullshit inside an echo chamber they can't believe that everyone outside it thinks they are all cunts, I guess they incorrectly assume that if we all knew they were awful that we would do something about it but we dont, how would you even do that?

No one wants a revolution, it rocks the boat too much and there is no reason to think it would yield anything but a different flavour of cunt and no one wants to go into politics because they know that A, everyone will think they are a cunt and B, it would be extremely difficult to change anything because the rich own the news and define the narrative and could and would crash the economy in order to restore the representation of their class interest.

Just how the fucking hell can you possibly have a Pathetic, Lying, Cheating, Law Breaking Lowlife, lead and run the country?

Any "leader" is supposed to "Lead By Example".

However as I type this, the Buffoon of a so called Prime Minister is about to make a public announcement at 12.30pm GMT.

Fucking Good Riddance.

[Slingblade1126]

In my country, those things pretty much quilify you to run for office. Then, if elected, it gets worse!

[EmmaMary]

@Slingblade1126

It would certainly appear to be the main "qualifications" needed to become a Countries "Leader".

[ChrisMaster69]

@EmmaMary it’s all in the name, if a duke has a Dukedom, an Earl has an Earldom, who else would run a Country?

[EmmaMary]

@ChrisMaster69

Absolutely. 👍😂

[Jessica405]

Well said! I am a Tory voter, but this guy instigated his own downfall!

[EmmaMary]

@Jessica405

I shall certainly be re-evaluating my allegiance.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHGirl.

[Jessica405]

He was economical with the truth from day 1. In his first speech outside no. 10, he said he had a plan for care in old age. It never materialised. He blustered his way through so many fuck-ups. Stopped the triple lock on pensions. Supported MPs who had been involved in sleaze. Partygate. Supported Cummings over Durham trip.

[erandal]

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

[OlderAndWiser]

Maybe somebody found a smoking gun and went to him with a proposition that he couldn' refuse.

[BCA6010]

(From the outside looking in) Basically because everyone hates him. He hasn't delivered really anything that he was elected for aside from Brexit, but even that seems to be largely in name only because he still panders heavily to European globalists and has done basically nothing to put the needs of Britain first. The opposition parties on the other hand know he's damaged goods and also oppose him on principle. This means he's an ineffective, castrated leader.

Back when he won his election against the labour party, he was marketed as this somewhat eccentric British equivalent to Donald Trump running against British Bernie Sanders, but he actually seems to be more like George W Bush.

[Curmudgeon]

Sadly this. BoJo should have listened to the people disgusted with the bureaucrats in Brussels, not the people in Whitehall who fancy themselves the same way.

[MrCommodore]

Apparently a member of Conservative Party (Mr Pincher) groped two men at a recent private party, it then emerged that Boris had been made aware of a similar previous groping assault involving the same Mr Pincher, and no action was taken. Apparently they joked that he is "Pincher by name, Pincher by nature".

This is fresh after the recent Partygate scandal, where staff at 10 Downing Street held a party during Covid-19 lockdown and openly flouted the law, and Boris Johnson was fully aware and even attended briefly.

He was forced to resign as his Conservative Party feel his leadership damage may cost cause them to lose seats in the next UK General election.

[itsalyssaagain]

Because he's been a dishonest and misleading PM. He's broken ministerial code on many occasions.

Although I am very relieved after he finally resigned, I think the entire government should take accountability for the disasters and disgrace they've displayed.

[Midnight_Kiss]

Because the media prefer highlighting his mistakes rather than his success and in turn have turned the gullible members of the population against him and his own party are too busy playing the blame game now they can no longer get away with taking advantage.

[John_Doesnt]

Because he found out that he can't be a gaylord and Prime Minister at the same time.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Too many scandals. He's lost support from actual conservatives because he hasn't been acting like one. Obviously, the Labor party wasn't going to have his back even if he did capitulate to them.

[ShadezMcgee]

I will be honest, I know fuck all about the guy and his policies. That's also because I don't give a damn about other countries politics. Fix your own shit before saying something on someone else as they say.

[Kaneki05]

Is he? About time lol. He's been trying and doing so keeping in forever it feels like we all wanted him gone some time ago.
Why? Because typical Tory is a Tory and who's ever next for Tory will also be trash and prove himself to be so.

[Smashingdoozy]

Because he was caught lying multiple times and his people resigned because of it

[CountessSarah]

Everyone hates him.
He's too evil and incompetent even for conservatives at this point.

[BeMuse]

You're in a war. Boris Johnson was taken out.

[Staximus]

Because he keeps having bad hairy days? I don't know, all I know is that I want to call him and say "for Christ's sake, comb your fucking hair!" and I don't even have hair anymore.

[Exterminatore]

He is unable to govern the UK well due to having the worst comb over in history. Even Trumps toupee looks better than that.

[Anonymous]

No-one in his party want to work with him because they know they are unlikely to win another term in office with such an unreliable and dishonest person out front.

[SJ1984]

Basically because no one in his own party wants him.

[genericname85]

no. why would he? there's no reason to resign before his term ends.

[Reijen]

Apparently over the dumbest of reasons, considering there were loads of better reasons he should have resigned over.

[boggboss]

Because he got caught in another lie

[_乃尺OЩ刀_TITI]

Because he's an incompetent tory twat.

[Wise4myage]

He's already agreed to it.

[peedy]

Because he was a very bad man

[EnglishEuropean]

Because half the government has resigned.

[lpoots]

[IsoUser]

Essentially because he's another Trump Idiot.

[SpaceGalaxy]

People could not stand his HAIR

[Frio33]
