Boris Johnson: U.K.'s next prime minister?

LONDON — Boris Johnson, the flamboyant former mayor of London, is not known for being modest or soft-spoken. But that is how he came across Friday after his drive for a British exit from the European Union won a surprise victory — and immediately made him a top candidate to replace David Cameron as prime minister.

Johnson paid tribute to Cameron, who led the campaign to remain in the EU and who announced he would resign after coming out on the losing end of Thursday's historic referendum.

At a news conference with other “leave” campaign leaders, Johnson did not mention the possibility of replacing Cameron as leader of the ruling Conservative Party and prime minister.

“I think that the electorate have searched in their hearts and answered as honestly as they can,” Johnson said.

He saluted Cameron's "bravery" in calling for Thursday's referendum even though the prime minister campaigned for the country to remain in the 28-member bloc.

“This does not mean the United Kingdom will be any way less united (or) any less European,” Johnson said. “We cannot turn our backs on Europe, we are part of Europe.”

Maybe, but it could be someone else. Hopefully not someone as compromised as Cameron.

A broken alarm clock is right twice a day, but that don't make it Big Ben.

Boris Johnson is another British political gadfly that stands little or no chance of surviving the turmoil over Exit that is to come.  For starters, the next PM has Scotland to deal with, who was perfectly happy to stay in the EU and may will try and secede from Britain.  Boris was a popular Mayor of the same city that just elected a Muzzie.  He does not go down well in English flyover country.

We shall see.  Let's hope the Queen stays healthy...
