Tras took over this "hot potato" from the UK 45 days ago, and now it is even hotter.
British Prime Minister Tras announced his resignation as British Prime Minister on the 20th, becoming the British Prime Minister with the shortest term in history. In fact, this was long ago as public opinion expected. The Daily Star of the UK has even launched a live broadcast, showing the photos of Tras and a lettuce in front of the camera, comparing who is more "longer" in his tenure or the increasingly rotten lettuce. After Tras announced his resignation, the newspaper published an article saying: "Our lettuce has achieved a glorious victory."
For the crisis-ridden UK, Tras may not be the best answer to the problem, but frequent changes to prime ministers are not a good thing. More importantly, in the past six months, Britain has not only replaced two prime ministers, but also frequently replaced the Chancellor of the Finance Minister, the Home Minister, the Foreign Minister, etc.
Who can take the helm in the wind and rain?
After Tras resigned, British bookmakers immediately offered several election odds for possible successors. According to the order of odds, the most likely successors are: former Chancellor of the Finance Department Sunak , current Chancellor of the Finance Department Hunter , former Secretary of Defense Modant, former Prime Minister Johnson , current Chancellor of Defense Wallace, and International Trade Department Minister of International Trade Bad Noh, etc.
Sunak was Tras' strongest opponent as early as this year when he ran for the party leader. Moreover, at that time, he had always opposed Tras' tax cuts, believing that it would affect the country's economy and market confidence. The current situation is unfortunately explained by him, so it is natural for him to win more favorable feelings and support, and he has always been more popular in Conservative Party . However, Sunak resigned as Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Johnson cabinet in July this year, and this "turnaround" is difficult to win the support of Johnson's faction in the party.
The current Chancellor of the Finance Minister Hunter, who was crazy about "slapping" in the face of Trass' economic policy, also received a lot of support. After Tras issued the tax cut policy, opposition voices increased day by day. She fired the Chancellor of the Exchequer and pointed out that Hunter came to power. However, this senior Conservative Party boss who has served as an important position such as Foreign Minister, publicly criticized Tras for not being able to do economic development several times before and after taking office. He also said that he had nothing to do with Tras' economic policies, which made him score a lot. However, during the time when the Conservatives were preparing to "force the palace", Hunter has always claimed that he had no intention of becoming a Conservative leader. I don’t know if it will turn against you like Tras. When former Prime Minister Johnson was “forced to the palace”, Tras also said at the time that he “firmly supported Johnson” and signed up to run for the election. The third place in the
"list" is Modant, who also competes with the Conservative Party leader. Although Modant did not enter the last round of the election at that time, his performance was quite impressive and he was known as a "dark horse in politics". On Monday, in the face of the attacks from the Labor Party by Labour Party, Modant strongly defended the Conservative Party and won praise from the party. According to reports, Modant is very generous in different factions within the Conservative Party.
Surprisingly, the latest poll released by the poll company YouGov recently showed that among the candidates suitable for taking over Trass, former Prime Minister Johnson, who was knocked down three months ago, received the highest approval rating (32%), far exceeding Sunak, who ranked second (23%). " Times " reporter Steven said on the 20th that Johnson will participate in the Conservative Party leader election. But some Conservative tycoons asserted on the BBC program that Johnson is extremely likely to return to No. 10 Downing Street, .
Wallace also has many supporters. He served as Secretary of Defense in both Johnson and the Trass governments. Moreover, he has always been tough on Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This attitude makes him one of the few politicians whose approval rating has not decreased but increased instead of falling in the recent political turmoil in the UK. But he also claimed that he had no intention of participating in the competition for the party's head.
It is reported that the nomination for the new party candidate for the Conservative Party will end on the 24th and the election voting will end on the 28th. A new prime minister will be born, but no matter who takes over, the British economic mess that Tras failed to save is very difficult. Inflation , high energy prices, economic recession, weak diplomacy, sequelae of Brexit, Northern Ireland ... Anyone who comes to power will face a very big test.
