NDTV/WASHINGTON POST: Britain's Place In The World At Stake In Thursday's Brexit Election

Description

Rob Ford, a professor of politics at the University of Manchester, said Johnson recognized that even if the deal wasn't perfect, or if he had to make "ridiculous promises or comprises to get majority support, once it had majority support, it was something. And something always beats nothing, particularly when people are feeling frustrated and impatient."

"That," Ford said, "may well be the turning point that has enabled this to be framed so effectively as the Brexit election."
