UK Political Turmoil: Over 70 Tory MPs Announce Resignations Amid Election Fears

3 min read

In the aftermath of the announcement of Parliamentary elections in Great Britain on July 4th, several members of the conservative government faction have resigned from politics. On Friday, long-serving cabinet member Michael Gove announced that he would not be running again. In a detailed letter published on X (formerly Twitter), the 56-year-old expressed that after almost 20 years, it was time to go. Gove has held various cabinet posts since 2010, with brief interruptions, serving as Education Minister, Justice Minister, and Environment Minister, among others. He campaigned for Britain to leave the EU alongside Boris Johnson in 2016 but faced opposition when his own candidacy failed to succeed David Cameron’s resignation as Prime Minister.

When Boris Johnson finally became Prime Minister in 2019, he appointed Gove to his cabinet. Gove was considered one of the most experienced and influential figures in Johnson’s cabinet at Rishi Sunak’s current Prime Minister. Alongside Gove, many other former government members are also leaving the House of Commons, including former Prime Minister Theresa May and former Defense Secretary Ben Wallace. The total number of Tory MPs who do not want to run again is almost 80, marking the largest exodus since World War II. Polls indicate that the Conservatives are facing a bitter defeat in the upcoming parliamentary election.
