Johnson had a lifetime's practise at deciving people
each of his careers was built on working out what people wanted to hear and then telling them that in such a way they would believe him. Then... never being around long enough to face the consequences. He knew if he got fired for lying or fucking up he'd get another job, probably a better one. If he got caught cheating he'd just get another girlfriend, wife, whatever -- move on. Fuck up a friendship, no problem, he'll find others.
The prime ministership though, this is a problem - he knows anywhere from here is down and he'll not give this up voluntarily.
The problem the Conservative party has is nobody else could lead it promising different things to different people and actually be believed. Lower taxes? Sure, but that's an end to leveling up and northern constituencies will go back to Labour. Leveling up? Sure, but that'll need weath distribution and hand safe tory seats to the Liberal Democrats. Morduant, Truss, Sunak, Hunt - whichever one takes on the job will have to commit to a specific policy and single course of action that will result in disappointing a huge swathe of the party and the electorate as nobody can ever lie as well as Johnson. They are fucked.

This comment has aged surprisingly well.
However, you're thinking inside the reality box. Tory voters are not reality-based thinkers.
They're afraid of:-
The Federal Soviet Socialist European Superstate
Foreign people speaking in foreign on the bus or train
Brown people in dinghies stealing their biscuits
The PC woke brigade VIRTUE SIGNALLING and CHANGING HISTORY
health and safety (gone mad)
Transvestite toilets
Climate protestors
Trade unions, teachers, doctors, train workers, lawyers, judges, and other traitorous enemies of the people.
As long as they can be convinced that their folk demons are being attacked, they will gladly line up to starve to death in support of low tax rates for billionaires.
