Hanging In
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is staying in his office in the face of wide condemnation. He has chosen to gut through question time, calls for resignation and open anger. And, he just might succeed if his party stays with him. It takes a combination of courage and ambition to hold on in the face of opposition. Most leaders can't endure it. Johnson to this point seems to have handled it but there is no saying for how long. The outcome for his persistence is roiling the country's politics. Johnson can't turn the page and as a result, legislation isn't moving forward. It would be best if he did resign, but is he listening? He seems deaf to pleas to do the right thing and step aside. What will it take for him to bow to the inevitable?
