This means Sunak will replace the resigned Tras and take the throne of Prime Minister. According to reports, Sunak's election set two major records in succession: , Sunak is the first Indian Prime Minister in British history; and the other is also the youngest Prime Minister in modern British history, only 42 years old.
Previously, Sunak lost to former Prime Minister Tras in the campaign. Some people speculated at the time that Sunak's Indian identity brought obstacles to his path to rule?
In fact, although Sunak is an Indian, according to his resume, he is even more British than the British. Sunak's parents are both Indian immigrants and have huge financial strength. Sunak received aristocratic education from the UK since he was a child. has gone from Winchester Public School to Oxford University , and then to Stanford University . Sunak's growth has been smooth sailing, including Sunak's wife who also came from a British billionaire family.
It can be seen from this that Sunak only has some connection with India in terms of blood, but in other aspects, they are all British people who are just fake.
reported that Sunak will go to Buckingham Palace on the 25th local time to meet Charles III , and accept the appointment to form a new government. It should be noted that Sunak is already the third British Prime Minister this year. The fate of the first two people is somewhat similar, both of whom were "forced to resign" and quit .
Johnson made the British economy a mess, and then fell into a scandal and was forced to leave. Tras was even more unlucky. As soon as he took office, the queen "dead" and the internal environment of Britain began to undergo subtle changes. With Trass' own troubles, he smashed the "mess" of the UK's economy even worse after only 45 days in office. In the end, he couldn't stay and had no choice but to resign.
Now Sunak faces "three mountains" as soon as he takes office, and the pressure can be imagined.
is the economic burden within the UK . The UK is currently facing the worst cost of living crisis in decades, and with the impact of sanctions on Russia, energy prices are also rising, making people's lives increasingly difficult. What's more, Tras's previous implementation of "tax cuts" made the British economy worse.
And Sunak is so popular, a considerable part of the reason he once played against Tras' economic policy. In the eyes of many British people, since the facts prove that Tras is wrong, Sunak must be the right . Sunak himself was also full of confidence and declared in his statement that he vowed to restore the economy. Sunak was expected to "recover" the economy by cutting expenses.
Second, it is the external challenge facing the UK, especially its relationship with EU . To this day, the impact of Brexit on the economy and politics of the UK continues. After Brexit, the trade volume between the UK and the EU has become smaller and smaller, and the relationship has become worse and worse, and this is only one aspect.
On the other hand, Northern Ireland issue is becoming more and more prominent. With the death of the queen, there are also many opposition Brexit in other parts of the UK, wanting to split from the UK. On the international stage, how should Sunak break the deadlock?
Third, the crisis within the Conservative Party . Since the beginning of this year, there have been three Conservative Prime Ministers in the UK. The collapse of Johnson and Trass has caused the public's trust in the Conservative Party to continue to decline. The Conservative poll support rate has been falling all the way, and it was even once more than 30% by its competitors Labour Party . Some MPs pessimistically predict that the Conservatives can no longer win the next general election.
Moreover, the Conservative Party is not a monolithic part. Although Sunak has won the position of prime minister, since he was automatically elected and has not gone through other procedures such as debate and competition, some people are not optimistic about Sunak.
When the negative impact brought by Tras gradually dissipates, people's "savior" filter for Sunak may no longer exist. It is conceivable that once is given high expectations, Sunak cannot meet people's expectations during his administration, it is likely to be criticized by .
If Sunak is unable to "rejuvenate his life with great skills", but instead backfired like Tras and was overwhelmed by the "three mountains", then the "speech curse" in British politics may continue to be staged.
