Boris Johnson and the UK media
Boris Johnson, the odds-on favourite to become Britain's next prime minister, had one distinct advantage going into the race to succeed Theresa May: name recognition.
When the UK media drop that name - Boris - Britons know who exactly they are talking about. As it happens, the news business is where Johnson got his start. As a correspondent in Brussels in the 1990s, Johnson produced a slew of Eurosceptic stories that readers found amusing; stories that could well have sown seeds in peoples' minds for an eventual Brexit.
