According to CCTV.com , the election results of the ruling Conservative Party leader in the UK have been released. Former Chancellor Rich Sunak, as the only candidate, was automatically elected as the leader of the British Conservative Party, replacing Elizabeth Trass , who resigned after 45 days in office, and became the British Prime Minister . This is also the first Indian Prime Minister in British history. US President Biden responded the next day that Sunak 's election as British Prime Minister was "groundbreaking" and impressive. Indian Prime Minister Modi was the first to warmly congratulate Sunak on social media on his election. This is interesting. 164 years after the East India Company sent a governor to India, India finally "reversely exported" and "sented" the governor to the UK.
In two months, the UK took office as three prime ministers. As a former colony, India's GDP this year once again surpassed the former suzerain country of Britain, and Sunak, who was born in Indian origin, was elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. To some extent, this year is also considered a year of victory for India. And it's not just Sunak, the current London mayor Sadiq Khan is also a Pakistani . I never thought that one day, Great Britain "falls" to the point where the descendants of the colonies who need it to lead, and for a moment, they felt like "thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi ".
If we travel back a hundred years ago and announce to the British public that the mayor of London is Pakistani and the British Prime Minister is Indian, many people will probably think this is a crazy saying that the colonies "occupy the nest" of the suzerain country, which is simply absurd. After all, in terms of the population structure of British society, the proportion of white ethnic groups accounts for nearly 82%, while the rest are Asian, African and mixed races. In the core cabinet, this ratio is directly adjusted to 1 to 4.
In such a political environment, perhaps one day in the future, we can also see the spread of the "India-Pakistan conflict" to the British political arena. You know, isn’t the former Prime Minister Johnson promoted by the mayor of London? Moreover, Sunak belongs to the Conservative Party , Sadik belongs to the Labour Party ; Sunak still believes in Hindu , Sadik believes in Islam , and all the elements of the "India-Pakistan conflict" happen to be there.
Sunak's successful election was really beyond the expectations of many people, including me. Because the British have deep-rooted racial arrogance, Conservative MP Jerry bluntly stated in a TV interview that Sunak "does not love England". In the eyes of most people, he cannot even be considered a British. He is loyal to the United States, his family is American, and they are all Indian businessmen, etc. The fact that MP Jerry dares to say this means that there are many politicians who uphold the same concept in British politics.
So most of the outside world thought Sunak had no chance, but it turned out to be a equal election. Without competitors, Sunak's election went extremely smoothly. Johnson finally chose to withdraw, which was expected, but it was surprising that several other popular characters, Modant, Hunter, Wallace, etc., did not stand up.
However, this also shows from the side that the British Prime Minister's work is a hot potato, so there is a special situation where a "minority" like Sunak can stand out. Just like former Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide , he had no plans to become Prime Minister in his original political career plan. As a result, Abe suddenly resigned, and Suga Yoshihide became the greatest common divisor in the whole party, which made him give him a more experience as a Japanese Prime Minister.
So the road to victory is so smooth, I believe Sunak will not be unclear that he took over a script of "hell difficulty". The challenges facing Sunak’s “Governor” at this moment need to be reshape capital’s confidence in the British economy domestically and foreign it needs to be reshape Britain’s diplomatic strategy and international image. Of course, in addition to this, Sunak has another arduous task, and he has to bear the challenge and doubts of his Indian identity from all parties inside and outside the party.
Sunak is the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, we might as well start with his professional field. The most difficult problem in the UK is indeed the economy. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the inflation situation, many people will faint when they see the 10.1% data. Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the UK's inflation index has been on a straight upward trend, and it is hard to say whether it can be stopped in the future.
Historical experience tells us that there are only two ways to suppress inflation at this level: one is to raise interest rates significantly, and to curb inflation at the cost of economic regression; the other is to launch a foreign war. Apart from this, there is almost no solution. There seems to be no chance on the second road at the moment, and there is no gun from the "Horse Island War" that has come from the sky for free. Could it be that you can still go to the Ukrainian battlefield in person? Then there is only the first way left. Does Sunak have the courage and determination to make this decision? And as a "foreign" identity as a British "black", Sunak has a very prestige. I remain skeptical about this. However, with Trass' "Pearls and Jades in the Forefront", Sunak, the head of the head, should not be able to surpass Tras, and he might be able to lead Britain to "put it to death and live!"
