Unfortunately, there's a wee bit of double down regards the whole shitshow. Brexit loyalists aren't known for their willingness to acknowledge that it's not all that.

Both of them are tragic figures in the literary sense of tragedy: Alone, ambitious, arrogant, hubristic, and very fucking wrong.
They aren't alone though. They are surrounded by people who will pay their bills, pick up after them, apologise for them, even spawn their seemingly endless progeny. To fill up their private schools and become the next generation of tyrants

You’re not wrong but to them as tories as with most reactionaries they see themselves as units of one, individuals, holding on to their idea that world of greater equality would be nasty, devoid of meaning and dull.

At one time I thought it an exaggeration and inaccurate when people described Johnson as a sociopath. But the evidence does stack up now that I’ve thought about it properly…
Refusing to save Afghani translators and others who’d worked for the UK
Regarding a 50,000+ annual Covid death toll as acceptable when viewed purely in economic terms
And his general lack of principles, writing two different statements, one pro-Leave, one pro-Remain, and choosing one simply on the basis of ‘pragmatism’ (ie ‘what’s best for Boris.’). I don’t believe he gave a shit if we left the EU or not, it was just a means to becoming PM.
The overall pattern is one of a complete absence of empathy and of making decisions / policy solely based on how they might benefit him, strengthen his position and power.
He doesn’t have actual political beliefs or ideals.
43 lies, gaffes and scandals that make Boris Johnson unfit to be Prime Minister
Since the Old Etonian joined public life 30 years ago he has blustered, gaffed and offended his way up the ladder of power. As Brits go to the polls on Thursday, we look at 43 very personal reasons he should not be our Prime Minister

When you see the shamelessness piled up in a long list like this it seems incredible that the UK electorate would’ve voted this egomaniac sociopath into power.43 lies, gaffes and scandals that make Boris Johnson unfit to be Prime Minister

But then at the time it seemed incredible that US voters chose Trump. Arguably Berlusconi was the model for this sort of ‘anti-politician’ whose refusal to conform to even the most basic of standards of behaviour expected of politicians becomes a virtue, as it signals how different they are from ‘establishment’ politicians
This may partially explain how a billionaire like Trump was genuinely regarded by some of his supporters as an outsider who spoke for the people and was opposed to the ‘Washington elite’ FFS…
Can’t recall where I read it, possibly The Dark Heart of Italy by journalist Tobias Jones, but it’s been argued that Berlusconi’s blatant tax evasion, financial dodginess and seedy liaisons with much younger women were viewed positively by a large section of the (male) Italian electorate, sort of ‘nice one mate, I’d do the same if I was in your position, good for you’.
F***ing depressing to think about, is this the future of politics, charismatic sociopaths?

There is a dedicated website listing all his lies and failings somewhere. I linked it here and now can't find it 
That has a LOT more laid out in a chronological timeline. It is really damning
the cunt should not be allowed to wear human clothes, let alone be in politics, let alone in a cabinet, let alone run the country.

TBF with him (and Johnson for that matter) its a lot more about how those stories are reported by the media they control than what people actually think - Berlusconi for example was almost always portrayed as some form of stud, even though he was demonstrably paying women (and underage girls) to no doubt be disappointed by him. Johnson is almost always portrayed in the same way as well, despite obvious visual evidence to the contrary.

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
Whilst I don't dissent from your view that Johnson's behaviour demonstrates many aspects associated with a sociopathic/psychopathic ASPD, I wouldn't agree that such a personality necessarily negates ideological beliefs. Quite the opposite really, it's easy to see how he might have be drawn to the most sociopathic of ideological positions.

Yes, I see what you mean. Can think of several examples from recent history. Perhaps Johnson is an exception to the rule? Although I guess if he does have any ideological stances, they are a vague laissez-faire capitalism and reduction in the role of the State. I guess that's why he was so fatally slow to bring in lockdowns last year.
