首相文翠珊
內閣會議桌
自從英國首相文翠珊在2017年6月11日組成她的第二次少數派內閣,多名前座議員先後請辭,包括3名重臣在內的16名閣員,以及60名大臣。而離職的大臣當中,有42人都是因為不滿她處理脫歐的手法。最終,文翠珊本人在2019年7月24日請辭,女王及後任命鲍里斯·约翰逊接任。
背景和解讀
英國智庫「政府研究所」形容本內閣的離閣規模和速度是「史無前例」,而且影響政府的運作[1]。例如在2019年3月,15名內閣職位出現空缺,但又沒有議員願意接任[2]。當中,殘疾人士國務大臣莎拉·牛顿請辭後兩週仍未有人頂替,最終要由就業及退休保障大臣安珀·路德兼職處理事務[2]。在三年內,離開文翠珊的大臣比戴卓爾夫人和貝理雅的全個任期還要多[3]。請辭的同時也反映內閣集體負責制的失效,首席黨鞭朱利安·史密斯形容文翠珊正經歷「史上最缺乏紀律的內閣」[4]。保守黨亦有好幾名議員退黨,其中三人加入了爭取變革獨立團體[5]。
