UXBRIDGE, England , - Over the next few weeks, Sunil Paul and thousands of voters like him in this commuter town on the edge of London will be among the most important people in British politics: they could decide Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s fate.
Paul, a 43-year-old who sells satellite television, is just the sort of voter that Johnson needs. The problem for Johnson is the lifetime Conservative voter will not vote for him in protest at his support for Brexit, and claims he was parachuted into the seat in 2015 despite having no connection to the area.
Born in New York, Johnson was educated at Eton, Britain’s most exclusive school, and studied classics at Oxford University. He then worked as a journalist before entering politics where he served as Mayor of London and then Britain’s foreign minister. Milani says that he has benefited from being in such a high-profile fight - and the chance to defeat Johnson has led to volunteers flooding in.At the last election in 2017, Johnson’s majority halved and has led to speculation this week about whether he could switch to a safer seat to avoid humiliation.
