Boris Johnson: Prime Minister should resign as a result of Partygate,

More over half of British people believe the Prime Minister should resign as a result of Partygate, and the vast majority believe he lied.

Two-thirds of those polled believe Boris Johnson lied to the Commons on Partygate, including nearly half of those who voted Tory in the last election.

According to a Delta Poll conducted for the Mirror, 49 percent of 2019 Tory voters believe he lied.

MPs were routinely refused knowledge about Downing Street lockdown parties by the Prime Minister. It was then revealed that he was one of a half-dozen people being investigated by authorities.

Last Monday, MPs endorsed a Commons investigation into whether he deliberately deceived Parliament, which is a resigning offence for ministers.

Mr Johnson told MPs after receiving his first punishment for a lockdown birthday celebration that it had not occurred to him “then or thereafter” that he had infringed the law.

However, according to the study, 66 percent of respondents believed he was aware that his activities had violated the regulations. Only 20% thought he was speaking the truth.

The Privileges Committee probe, which will begin only once Scotland Yard completes its own investigation, has the authority to seek evidence.

This implies that senior civil servant Sue Gray, who undertook a third investigation, might be requested for the 300 images and 500 papers she gathered.

More than seven out of 10 individuals believe images of Downing Street lockdown parties provided as evidence should be made public.

More over one-third of respondents (38%) believe they should be made public as soon as possible, despite the fact that the Metropolitan Police investigation is still underway.

The Partygate issue has followed Mr Johnson along the campaign trail in the run-up to next week’s local elections.

More over half of respondents, 54%, felt the Prime Minister’s reaction after being proven to have breached the law had made them less favourable to the Conservatives.

With some Tory MPs scheming to depose Mr Johnson as Tory leader after the election, nearly six in ten respondents, or 57%, believe he should quit over the affair.

This includes one-third (33%) of those who voted Conservative in the previous election and one-fifth (20%) of current Conservative supporters.
