For Johnson, Brexit a hard nut to crack

With Boris Johnson being the British prime minister for more than two weeks, it's not so difficult to guess that three factors paved the way for his "Brexit" plan and catapulted him to 10 Downing Street.

First, the division created in British society by the 2016 referendum - which made it difficult for the government to get total public support to negotiate a Brexit deal with the European Union.

Second, the failure of former prime minister Theresa May to lead the Brexit process - which subsequently led to the lengthy withdrawal process creating dissatisfaction among both the Conservative and Labour parties as well as the people.
