It's a lot more like House of Cards than you think.

Appointing Johnson at FCO is the perfect strategy for her. She has given a high-profile role to the darling of both the Leave and Party Membership caucus, negating any threat of them becoming 'restless' about her selections.

If Johnson turns out to be successful, there is no downside. If he is a failure, he will lose the support of the membership anyway; and can be punted with no repercussions.

It is a no-lose selection for her.
