Not if you feel you should rule, and the people whose opinion you care about expect you to rule.

You're thinking from your own perspective, not his.

Would you want to think from Boris's perspective?

what do you imagine is the source of Johnson's power?

Well, the evidence suggest that it's not from edging

Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid quit Boris Johnson's cabinet amid a row over the handling of misconduct claims against ex-Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher.

Not been paying attention, assume it was just these 2 and it's all blown over?

So , you promote a dude to the 2nd most important job in the country & in return he tells you to fuck off , when he has barely changed the name plate on the office door.

Then you promote someone to an important Education job and they turn around and resign the next day ? HR barely had time to calculate her new leave & pay .

You're missing out on the joy & celebration on the main thread.

ETA -

A few minutes ago I popped into the local shop and loudly announced, 'Johnson has agreed to go, I need more beer to celebrate'.

I was greeted by laughter and cheers.

The odd other one has gone as well...

The exodus of ministers etc in terms of a vote of no confidence in the PM reminds me of something that happened a few years back.

Some of you may remember Duncan Ferguson, a footballer, he managed Everton, played for Glasgow Rangers etc, he was also IIRC the first footballer to be jailed for assaulting an opponent on the pitch.

Someone, in a fit of absolute madness, proposed him for membership of Corkerhill Masonic Lodge in Glasgow. The 'election' process is simple, every member is given two balls, one white, one black. Secret ballot, and it takes a single black ball to stop the person being 'elected'.

The night of the vote came. There was a queue outside the Lodge. Members who had not attended for years turned out, there wasn't enough room inside.

When the vote was counted, Ferguson didn't make it.

He said to his sponsor 'There was a black ball then?', his sponsor replied 'A black ball? Have you ever seen sheep shit?'.

Yes Boris, it was sheep shit.
