Although he claimed that he was a "warrior", he could not resist the "big flag". Tras announced his resignation only 45 days after taking office, becoming the shortest-term prime minister in British history.
In his resignation speech, Tras said, "I admit that given the current situation, I cannot fulfill the mission entrusted to me by the Conservative Party when electing me. Therefore, I have notified His Majesty the King that I will resign as the leader of the Conservative Party."
It is undeniable that a series of drastic policies after Tras took office did not reverse the decline in Britain. After Tras resigned, Russian Security Conference Vice Chairman Medvedev posted a message to mock Tras for his poor performance. It said that Tras should win the Nobel Prize for for causing the British national economy to collapse.
But as Tras said, this government faces many challenges, including energy issues, the UK's sluggish economy, and the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Or even if it wasn't for Tras' victory at that time, it would be hard for anyone to sit in the position of British Prime Minister .
Therefore, it is certain that Trass' resignation does not solve the problems facing the UK at present. But the election for the next British Prime Minister is imminent.
British Parliamentary Lower House Conservative MP group "1922 Committee" Chairman of the Conservative Party MP group said that it is possible to end the voting for the Conservative Party leadership election before October 31.
So, judging from the current candidates, Tras's opponent in the Conservative Party's top election in September Sunak immediately led the next prime minister's odds list. The leader of the House of Commons of the British Parliament, Penny Modant, and the Secretary of Defense, , Ben Wallace, , ranked second and third in the odds list respectively.
Sunak If he chooses to run again, the chance of winning is still quite high. In addition, former British Prime Minister Johnson also appeared on the alternative list.
Some experts pointed out that Johnson was forced to resign from the position of Conservative Party leader due to a series of scandals, so the Conservative Party may be very cautious about Johnson returning to power.
In addition, some media revealed that Johnson is observing the situation and believes that it is related to national interests.
Indeed, no matter who takes over Trass now, it is equivalent to taking over a "hot potato". There are many problems that the UK needs to solve at present, and economic problems are the first to be affected.
Recently, economists warned that the UK will enter a recession until the summer of 2023. According to reports, the UK economy is expected to shrink by about 0.2% each quarter from October this year to June next year. This persistent economic recession will cause the UK's GDP to drop by 0.3% for the full year of 2023.
When the GDP of an economy declines for two consecutive quarters or longer, it enters a period of technical recession.
Of course, Brexit causes harm to the British economy itself is also one of the factors. In addition, some problems including Northern Ireland have not been resolved.
Some economic experts pointed out that the problems facing the UK are neither single inflation problems nor single energy problems. Ultimately, it is an economic structural problem.
Overall, there are too many difficulties facing the restructuring and reshaping of the UK's economic system. At that time, Britain was full of crises and internal and external troubles. In addition to the turbulent storm in the international community, the profound impact of the new crown epidemic and the UK's GDP was even surpassed by India, which is really sad.
As an ally, the United States has also spoken out. Recently, the White House website released a statement from Biden about Tras' resignation as British Prime Minister.
The statement reads, "The fact that the United States and Britain are strong allies and lasting friends - this fact will never change. I thank Prime Minister Leeds Tras for his cooperation with us on a range of issues, including his statement on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. We will continue to work closely with the British government to jointly address the global challenges faced by countries."
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why Britain "puts its arms" to the United States is only for its own interests. After Brexit, it urgently needs to "hugg" it, and the United States is also good at making a good plan. It immediately pulled the United Kingdom to form the "US-U.S.-U.K.A. Alliance" and used the British hands to disrupt the Asia-Pacific. In essence, it is just mutual use and each other takes what they need.
