BoJo factor

In politics, where to be caught in a lie is not necessarily harmful to one’s career. Generally requires prejudice, frustration and credulousness on the part of the population, a shallow talent pool and a helpful media.

Like Goneril and Regan competing to offer false compliments to Lear, they used the BoJo factor to cover the leader they had doomed with hypocritical praise
The BoJo factor was clearly at work when he was given the post of Foreign Secretary, much to the amazement of the rest of the world
