Belief points imply Heathrow’s third runway is unlikely to ever take off

Downing Avenue is acutely conscious that one of many largest risks to this authorities is dropping voters’ belief. As I say within the Solar at present, if individuals come to see this administration as simply one other bunch of politicians who don’t do what they stated they’d, then it’s doomed.

Quantity 10 additionally is aware of that Boris Johnson’s opponents like to assault him as ‘untrustworthy’. This didn’t damage him an excessive amount of on the election as a result of voters regard most politicians as untrustworthy. But when there was a transparent and compelling instance of him breaking his phrase to voters then that might change, and really shortly.

The entire emphasis on promise-keeping is unhealthy information for Heathrow and the third runway. In 2015, Boris Johnson promised to lie down in entrance of the bulldozers to cease it being constructed. So, if the bulldozers transfer in on his watch will probably be acutely embarrassing for him. You’ll be able to simply think about the cut up display screen of his phrase and them arriving.

This is among the explanation why I feel the third runway received’t find yourself occurring. If within the subsequent few weeks the Mayor of London wins his judicial evaluate in opposition to the choice to go forward with it, I doubt the federal government will enchantment the decision.
