Conservative deputies threaten Johnson with reforming the regulations to subject him to another motion in six months

MADRID, 7 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The conservative deputies opposed to the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, have given an ultimatum to the 'premier' on Tuesday and have threatened to modify the regulations through the 1922 Commission to subject it to another motion of internal censure within a period of six months and not in one year, as stated in the statutes of the Conservative Party.

The alert comes a day after Johnson survived the motion of censure held within his party and which has exposed the internal divisions of the 'Tories' around the current Cabinet. Johnson, however, has celebrated the result despite having won 211 votes in favor, 41.2 percent, less than former Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018.

Thus, the so-called "rebel" deputies have urged Johnson to "introduce a change of address" or abstain from the consequences, which could lead to a new motion of censure by the end of the year, according to information from the newspaper 'The Guardian '. The 'tories' who voted against the president fear suffering a setback in the next electoral appointment if Johnson remains in office.

Johnson, who is scheduled to meet this Tuesday with his Cabinet to discuss the agenda, has promised to continue working "on what matters to the British people" and has called on his ministers to achieve "progress" on the "priorities of the Executive."

However, critical voices such as MP Tobias Ellwood have warned that deserters could increase since Johnson has little time to reverse the results of the vote and gain more supporters within the party.

Under current regulations, the 'premier' is free from a new motion of censure within a period of at least one year, something that could now change. However, he has asserted that "there is much to change and that a reform is needed to introduce fresh talent" within the Government.
