The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the French president Emmanuel Macron have been suffering tribulations in their respective home countries.

Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson was doing quite well until the revelations of ‘Partygate’ scandal came to light.It is alleged that while the British population was in lock down during the Covid-19 pandemic, the prime minister and his close allies were holding a series of parties on Downing Street.

After making his case defending his actions and surviving a vote of no confidence in the British parliament by a whisker, the walls have finally caved in on him.

Atleast forty ministers and parliamentarians resigned in a bid to push him to resign yesterday.Boris Johnson had to step down earlier today in an embarrassing twist of events.

Emmanuel Macron

Emmanuel Macron on the other hand is also facing struggles of his own in France but of a lesser magnitude as compared to his British counterpart.

He managed to beat Marie Le Pen,his biggest rival,in the recently held presidential elections making him the first president in twenty years to be re-elected immediately after serving his first term.Kudos on that Mr. Macron.

However, the French legislative elections held in early June did not work in his favour.He failed to secure a majority in parliament for his party.Macron fell short by atleast forty seats to secure a majority which means he has to work in coalitions if he is to make his second term a success-no easy fete considering each party has it’s own interests and agendas.
