You've not been paying attention for the last 4 years.
Let's run with your view for the sake of argument Fire .

What you are saying is that Johnson aided by Cummings want to change the country .

The strategy Cummings has set out is to basically walk the corridors of Whitehall swinging a baseball bat .

This in effect is Thatcher picking a fight with the NUM in 1979 .

Except she knew she'd lose so chose to strike at a time when she'd won a second term and felt stronger after putting the pieces in place first .

Not only that Johnson is weak , Thatcher wasn't and you need guile and strength to change country's , Johnson and Cummings have neither .

There's some over stating of their abilities here , an attempted coup at best which in my opinion will be quashed and both their careers with it .
