Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, commonly known as Boris Johnson, is a British politician who has made a significant impact on the country's political landscape. Born on June 19, 1964, Johnson began his career as a journalist and popular historian before transitioning into politics.
Johnson is a prominent figure in the Conservative Party and has held several high-profile positions, including Mayor of London and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. His tenure as Mayor of London, which lasted from 2008 to 2016, was marked by his efforts to improve the city's transportation system and his successful bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. As Prime Minister, Johnson played a crucial role in the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, commonly known as Brexit.
Known for his public school, blustering, and comedic style, Johnson is a polarizing figure in British politics, with members of the public either strongly supporting or opposing him. Despite this, he has remained a prominent figure in the Conservative Party and continues to shape the country's political landscape.
Johnson is a Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, having served in this role since 2015. Prior to this, he served as the MP for Henley from 2001 until 2008. Johnson identifies as a One Nation Conservative and has been associated with both economically liberal and culturally liberal policies, earning him the label of a libertarian. His contributions to British politics are significant, and he will likely continue to be a major player in the country's political scene for years to come.
