British politics has ushered in earth-shaking changes!
Female Prime Minister Tras stepped down sadly after only 45 days in office. The one who replaced her was Sunak - a "post-80s" Indian-born man.
He is not only the youngest prime minister in the UK in more than 200 years, but also the first prime minister of a minority, which is "unprecedented" for the UK.
● After winning the election, Sunak
Faith Hinduism , do not eat beef, celebrate various Indian festivals, marry an Indian wife... Sunak has a very strong Indian color.
It is also because of this that his election caused Indian netizens to start a carnival:
"Finally take revenge!"
"British once ruled India, and now it is time for Indians to rule them!"
Some people also commented jokingly: "Teach the British to eat curry and eat with their hands!"
What is the origin of this Indian-faced prime minister?
What will his election bring to the UK?
01
Sunak's success has to be thanked for a woman.
That is the "short-lived" Prime Minister Tras, the UK. As the leader of the Conservative Party, she has made many stupid moves in just 45 days after taking office, causing Conservative Party to bear tremendous pressure.
● Trass
After she took office, she launched a drastic tax reduction policy to reduce taxes and fees to the rich and enterprises, trying to boost the economy.
However, after taking this fierce medicine, the British economy did not improve, but instead damaged its vitality.
pound exchange rate plummeted, reaching its historical low. A large number of government bonds were sold off and the financial market was turbulent.
This is a worse injury for Tras.
Tras' status in the minds of the people is not very high. She had cheated on her marriage in her early years and obtained resources through extramarital affair with senior Conservative officials. It was "constant black material". It was difficult for conservative British people to appreciate her lifestyle.
is not good, and if you have excellent abilities, it is not unbearable.
But Trass's operations in the economic field completely disappointed her: this is completely an embroidered pillow, and if she continues to mess around, the UK will really be in chaos!
● British people oppose Trass
Even US President Biden jumped out to accuse Trass of his economic policy as a "mistake".
In order to prove that his point of view, Biden also "finished": "I'm not the only person who thinks so."
Some netizens joked that perhaps Tras's only achievement was to "send the queen away" and welcome a new king to Daying. The public support rate of this female prime minister is only a pitiful 9%!
Many Conservative Party members secretly regretted, "If I had known, I wouldn't have chosen her!"
If I had known, I would have chosen Sunak from the beginning.
● Trass and Sunak
As the saying goes, "It is hard to buy a thousand gold coins to know it." Born in 1980, Sunak is a "young and strong" in British politics.
He was very young and strong, and once served as the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and had rich economic experience. From the beginning, Sunak's advantage was very obvious and he was once the highly-received prime minister candidate.
However, it was Tras who successfully ascended the position of Prime Minister.It was not until Tras was proven to be unable to take on the major responsibilities that Sunak’s turn was the Prime Minister’s turn.
● Sunak
After going around, Sunak became the youngest prime minister in the UK in more than 200 years.
So, why did Sunak lose the election before? Why did a steady and reliable politician like
become the "short tire" of the Conservative Party?
02
If you only look at the resume, Sunak is perfect.
He was born in 1980 and studied at Wenchester Public School . It is one of the oldest public schools in the UK. The tuition here is very expensive, and many noble children receive top secondary education here.
After graduating from here, Sunak entered at Oxford University and at Stanford University.
In addition to his enviable high IQ and excellent education, Sunak's wealthy family also provided him with enough confidence so that he did not have to worry about his livelihood.
● Sunak (first from left)
However, his shortcomings also come from his family: his father and grandparents are both Indians, and Indian blood flows in his body.
Only looking at his face is a typical South Asian face.
is completely contrary to many people's stereotypes. The United Kingdom is not a country that is free and inclusive in terms of skin color.
As an old imperialist country, the British have superior arrogance and think they are extremely superior in culture and tradition. The glory of the "Empire that the Sun Never Set" has never truly dissipated from their hearts.
Indian destiny, he was destined to suffer some malice. Even if he has a wealthy background, it is difficult to avoid the "original sin" brought to him by his bloodline.
● Sunak (left)
When he was a teenager, he once took his younger brother and sister to have dinner in a restaurant when he suddenly heard the guests at the next table describe them in contemptuous racial terms. That was a despicable term for Indians.
Sunak was shocked by this sudden insult. "It hurts like a needle; I still remember it freshly, so it is engraved in my memory. Insults can be manifested in many different ways." After entering politics, he rose to prominence with his flexible economic skills, but he still did not get rid of the racial dilemma.
All prime ministers in British history are white. To be precise, it is a white man who believes in Christianity.
Sunak is a Hindu religious, which is also a "disadvantage".
Western society attaches great importance to religion. From ancient times to the present, Europe has fought many wars due to religious issues, and the famous " Crusade " is well known.
Subconsciously, they believe that religious identity plays a crucial role in integrating into Western society.
When Sunak was elected as a member of parliament, he pressed the Hindu classic " Bhagavad Gita " while taking the oath.
● In 2020, Sunak celebrated the Indian Diwali Festival outside his official residence at No. 11 Downing Street
various signs made conservative white politicians feel that Sunak is "not my race".
If there is a choice, no one wants an Asian who believes in Hinduism to become the prime minister.
However, they have no choice.

"The UK is a great country, but it is facing a profound economic crisis."
If it was a peaceful year, the UK would have tolerated it for two or three years with Trass.But the current British economy is already " storm is coming and winds fill the building", like a crumbling and broken house, and urgently needs a qualified papermaker.
Whoever can do a good job in the economy is the hero who turns the tide.
In this case, the Conservative Party abandoned Trass and re-selected Sunak.
is different from Trass, who is determined to gain political capital, Sunak is a typical technical bureaucrat.
When he was young, he worked at Goldman Sachs in the United States and was well aware of capital operations.
● When he was young, Sunak
was also during his time in the United States that he met Murthy and married him.
This wife from India not only has like-minded culturally with him, but also has greatly helped him in his career.
Murti's father, known as "India's Bill Gates ", is rich enough to rival a country. With the help of the Yue family, Sunak is no longer obsessed with money, but can do what he wants.
● Sunak and his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law
In 2015, the 35-year-old Sunak entered politics. Aunt Mei, the Prime Minister at that time, admired him very much.
abandoned that Indian face, Sunak was a typical British gentleman.
His clothes were very exquisite when attending any occasion. His expensive and decent suits, Prada's leather shoes, and meticulous hairstyle made him the reputation of "golden boy in politics".
In terms of political views, he has always been very pragmatic and has profound insights into the economy. This is an important reason for his rapid promotion in politics.
In February 2020, Sunak took office as British Secretary of Finance.
Only five years ago, Sunak still was unwilling to stop there. His goal is to be the Prime Minister, but at this moment, his pragmatism has become his "weakness".
His competitor Tras drew a big cake for "tax cuts" during the campaign and won a lot of support.
● Sunak and Trass
, especially the rich class, who doesn’t like tax cuts?
As for how the government's financial resources are solved after the tax cut, Tras ignored it at all.
Sunak never gives in on this issue!
"I would rather lose the campaign than make promises that I cannot do without my conscience." Sunak believes that Tras's policy is purely a "fairy tale", which not only cannot save the British economy, but also causes chaos in the world.
As expected, only 45 days after taking office, the stock market, foreign exchange market and bond market in the UK collapsed!
The female prime minister stepped down in disgrace, and Sunak ushered in the dawn of victory.
● Sunak is a member of the Conservative Party’s “1922 Committee”
But can his tax increase policy be successfully implemented and save the British economy?
04
The situation that British people are most afraid of is "double standards".
3 raising taxes to the British people, but their relatives and friends make money and evade taxes. How can such a prime minister convince the public?
Sunak's wife has become this thunder point.
● Sunak and his wife Murti
Sunak's family is not short of money, but it is much inferior to his wife.
His wife Murti is the daughter of Indian wealthy Narayana. It is said that Murtie inherited thousands of family wealth from his father, which is richer than the Queen of England.
" Washington Post " once reported that Sunak and Murty have a wealth of up to 730 million pounds (equivalent to about 6 billion yuan) , while the British King Charles III has a net worth of only 370 million pounds (equivalent to about 3.06 billion yuan). The richness of the couple is far greater than that of the British royal family.
But who would think that he has too much money? Murtie tried every means to avoid taxes. Although she lived in the UK, she never gave up her Indian nationality.
In this way, she can use her "non-settler" status to evade tax obligations: her income overseas does not have to pay taxes to the British government.
British media reported that through this method, the amount of tax avoidance reached tens of millions of pounds. As a spouse, Sunak is of course aware.
● Sunak and his wife and the current British King Charles III
Not only did Sunak not stop his wife's behavior, but instead defended her: "My wife loves India, and she will eventually return there to take care of her parents."
At the same time, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he implemented a tax increase policy, which brought a heavier tax burden to British workers. Everyone can see the selfishness contained in this.
In addition, Sunak's own "ungrounded" is also a black spot that is difficult for the public to accept.
He was born in a wealthy family. When he was 21 years old, he once claimed that he only had friends from the upper and middle class, but no friends from the working class.
This condescending arrogance will undoubtedly hurt many people at the bottom.
In a nutshell, Tras is certainly a fool, but Sunak is not the "good match" of British Empire .
The reason why he was able to come to power is that he is "a short general in the middle", and the UK really can't find a more suitable person.
Under the afterglow of the empire, it is still unknown how far Sunak can go. Text/Gu Jingyan
