'He's A Flawed Character And They Do Not Care': The Rise Of U.K.'s Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson is a larger-than-life British politician who likes to project the image of a bumbling, fun-loving man of the people.
His many supporters in Britain's Conservative Party find him charismatic, entertaining and — to their minds — refreshingly politically incorrect.
Many critics, however, see him as unprincipled, offensive and driven wholly by ambition.
