The unity of the Conservatives, often known as the Tories, had for years been threatened by an anti-E.U., anti-immigration movement that prioritized social concerns over economic ones.
The Tories under Johnson had managed to fend off the threat of the far right through a combination of cracking down on immigration while pledging to boost public services.
Last week's local elections in England indicated that the Conservative coalition formed in 2019 might have shattered, possibly leading to a potential wipeout in an upcoming general election.
