总理职位要求一个人具有最高的正直和信誉。不幸的是，鲍里斯·约翰逊失败了，因为他无法诚实，失去了议会同事的信任和支持。
大卫·卡梅伦和特里萨·梅是鲍里斯·约翰逊在英国退出欧盟前的前任。大卫·卡梅伦（David Cameron）因其英国退出欧盟公投造成了很大的政治不稳定，并在52%的英国人投票离开欧盟，48%的英国人投票留下来时辞职。特里萨·梅（Theresa May）在3次未能让议会批准英国退出欧盟条款时辞职。
这三位首相中没有一位能与英国任期最长的首相玛格丽特·撒切尔相提并论。她因其毫不妥协的政治和领导风格而被戏称为铁娘子。在一项民意调查中，她被选为过去30年来最称职的总理。
英国比以往任何时候都更需要一个像玛格丽特·撒切尔那样有能力的人来接替鲍里斯·约翰逊。
