YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived a vote of no confidence held by members of his own Conservative Party on Monday. The 211-148 vote came just days after Johnson was booed by conservative royalists when he arrived at a service to honor the queen's 70-year reign. We speak with Priya Gopal, English professor at the University of Cambridge, who says the vote signals a division within the country's Conservatives and an opening for progressives. "This reflects a mood shift among voters who handed Johnson a huge majority at the last elections," says Gopal. She also explains how Johnson may be forced to resign if he isn't able to gain enough parliamentary support to pass legislation. #democracynow
