British PM Boris Johnson survives no-confidence vote, 211 out of 359 votes in his favor

After long speculation, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived the no-confidence vote. The motion was moved by his own Conservative party’s resentful lawmakers. 

The no-confidence motion against the British PM was put into action because of Party Gate Scandal and his underperformance post for the post-Brexit economy amid the pandemic. Johnson secured the support of 211 out of 359 Conservative lawmakers in the secret ballot.

 The no-confidence vote was moved by at least 15 percent of Conservative MPs who wrote letters of no confidence to Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the party's backbench 1922 Committee.

After emerging victorious, Johnson termed his victory decisive and stated that now the government can "move on to focus on the stuff that really matters."

. "I'm certainly not interested in snap elections, what I'm interested in is delivering right now for the people of this country,” Johnson said.
