Russian president Vladimir Putin takes dig at Tory leadership elections for future UK Prime Minister between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt.
It’s “odd” that the UK Prime Minister comes to power after a closed-door vote within his own party and not through a nationwide election, but Moscow is ready to work with anyone who will end up in Number 10, Vladimir Putin said.
While the UK loves lecturing Russia on democracy, the peculiarities of its own political system may raise more than a few eyebrows, Putin told Rossyia-1 broadcaster on Saturday. “Take the way the first man in the country, the head of the UK’s executive branch, is propelled to power,” he offered.
[Is he elected] in a nationwide vote? No, [he is elected] by his party’s get-together. Truth be told, this is strange to me but this is how the [British electoral] system works.
Putin spoke as the race to become the next Conservative Party leader – and thus the UK’s Prime Minister– comes to a climax. Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt are the two candidates who survived the latest round of the internal Tory contest, with the former being the likeliest candidate to end up at 10 Downing Street.
