I don't understand why people think Boris Johnson would be good and don't see that he would be a disaster. Boris is pretty ultra right wing in spite of his joviality. He doesn't have policies aimed at benefiting the common man. He's also not very competent, blundering about ineffectually and his principles can change according to what's beneficial for Boris. He works very much in his own interests. He's also a bit of a scumbag in his personal life - a womaniser and a faithless husband. The strange thing is that this is the kind of area that will suffer as a result of Brexit. They probably don't realise how much of the affluence of the area is dependent on close connections with the EU. They are suffering because of Tory policies and austerity, not as a result of being in the EU.
