British Prime Minister Tras took office less than two months ago. The recent announcement of Tras' resignation has attracted the attention of many media. According to CCTV News, according to reports from multiple foreign media, after experiencing financial exchanges, reform reversal, and "forced palace" within the party, British Prime Minister Tras announced his resignation on October 20 local time, becoming the shortest-serving prime minister in the history of modern British politics. It is understood that Tras officially replaced former Prime Minister Johnson as the leader of the British national on September 6, but Tras announced his resignation is only 45 days away from taking office.
According to British media reports, the Conservative Party where Tras is located will quickly elect a new leader to take over the position of prime minister. Conservative officials said the new prime minister will be produced around October 28. In fact, it was very sudden that Tras announced his resignation as prime minister because the day before, Tras denied the possibility of voluntary resignation in parliamentary questioning the day before. She even shouted to everyone: "I am a soldier, not a deserter!" But why did Tras change his mind overnight? In fact, Tras' sudden resignation was not only related to her capricious personality, but also because of the chaotic economy and politics of Britain that made her feel helpless.
We all know that as early as the Johnson administration, Britain had already fallen into a serious economic crisis. At that time, due to various scandals from Johnson and his improper employment, Johnson was forced to resign under the opposition of other parties. After that, Johnson simply made a fuss. At that time, the British government was almost in a state of suspension. Later, the Queen of England passed away. Although it gave Tras a buffer time, the British government always had to face reality. Less than two weeks after Tras took office, the British government introduced three plans to save the British economy: a huge energy subsidy plan, a central bank interest rate hike, and a tax cut that was larger than any other during Thatcher's term. The policy combination of "tax cuts + expansion of expenditures + interest rate hiccups" can be said to be exactly the same as Thatcher's original policy of saving the British economy, but now Britain is no longer the British Empire of that year. Therefore, Tras' radical "three consecutive" immediately ignited the "explosive barrel", and the market and election situation both "blazed". On the one hand, the British stock market, government bonds and pounds were both set, and the market's pessimism even affected the British government's credibility rating; on the other hand, the poll also showed that only 18% of people supported their policies, the Conservative Party's support rate fell to 27%, and the regime was in jeopardy.
Although on the 3rd of this month, Tras announced that he had canceled the tax cut plan, he still did not recover the continued decline in support. Just on October 20, then British Chancellor Kwoten, a close comrade-in-arms and think tank who had been a long-term conscience, resigned six days after Tras himself resigned under pressure. Of course, the pressure faced by Tras is not only from the British people, but more from the competition within the party. On the day Kwoten announced his resignation, the cabinet announced that it would return to the previous government's tax increase path and restart the plan to increase corporate income tax by 6%. Some British media even revealed that the British Conservative Party is already looking for a new prime minister candidate.
Tras is determined to be the second Thatcher , but now it is different from the past. Now Britain is no longer the global hegemony, nor the European hegemony. GDP is even overtaken by the former colonial India. As an island country with a population of only 68 million, after losing the single EU market, the UK is at a disadvantage in trade negotiations with the EU, the United States and other countries for various reasons. Foreign Policy once described the situation of Britain as " Argentina in the Falklands War". What's more, the "Brexit" combined with aging and the labor shortage brought to the UK by the new crown has cast another shadow on Tras' stimulus plan. Tras has been following in Mrs. Thatcher's footsteps, but not everyone can replicate Thatcher's success.
