The former Prime Minister also claimed that Sir Keir Starmer's supermajority would be dangerous and lead to the “least deserved electoral victory in history”.
His comments in the Daily Mail columns came as he entered the general election campaign for the first time by beginning to produce support videos for the Conservative Party running for re-election.
Some critics say Johnson supports his most loyal former MPs. But a source close to him said: TelegraphFor this
Every MP who requests digital support from him will receive it.
Unusual messages from conservatives
In recent days, the Conservatives appear to have changed their electoral strategy, and are now spreading the message that Labor could win a large majority, which could be harmful to democracy.
Rishi Sunak has already warned voters not to give Labor a blank check on polling day.
This is an unusual one at that
It is rare for a political party to campaign on how much it can lose in an election.
In his opinion piece, Johnson stated that “according to current projections, Labor will have 461 MPs, the Conservatives 80 – and Keir Starmer’s overall majority will be 292. True, it will not be larger than Blair’s or Thatcher’s alone. Labour’s next majority, if these polls are correct “It will be as big as Blair and Thatcher combined.”
He added: “The new prime minister will show humility and claim that he is now a servant of the people, and so on.” But beneath the appearance of restraint, the intoxicating euphoria of power will rise.”
