Rishi Sunak and new hope

kk

Along with being the first Indian-origin British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak will also hold the distinction of being the first Prime Minister appointed by King Charles. Liz Truss, who resigned after forty-five days in power, has left Britain in economic insecurity. So, each step of Rishi will be challenging. The new Prime Minister has the daunting task of ensuring economic stability in Britain.

Rishi Sunak was also the most vocal critic of Liz Truss' idea of ​​improving the financial system by reducing taxes and borrowing money. He argued that priority should be given to reducing inflation rather than reducing taxes. He also criticized that the idea of ​​improving the financial situation by borrowing money is as unbelievable as a myth. It didn't take long for this criticism to become one that even his own party members could understand. The Conservative MPs had no choice but to find a new Prime Minister in Rishi Sunak, who was the finance minister who kept the country's economy from collapsing through innovative policies during the Covid era. That is how Rishi Sunak became the first non-white British Prime Minister. The people and the party have high hopes in the new Prime Minister.

The daily rising prices of goods have left the people of Britain struggling. Failure to prevent such a situation led Liz Truss to resign from the PM post. Therefore, the first thing people expect from Rishi Sunak is to curb inflation. It is not possible with conservative economic measures. So the business community is looking forward to seeing what innovative changes the new Prime Minister will bring. Meanwhile, people working in various sectors in Britain are taking the path of strike to demand more pay. Train drivers, port workers, postal service workers, telecom workers and others have already started strikes. Those in the health sector have also decided to go on strike. Everyone wants a pay rise. The cost of living has more than doubled. But the salary remains the same. Rishi's political future will depend on how he solves such complex problems.

It is widely expected that Britain will continue its policy of support for Ukraine under the new prime minister as well. Rishi had earlier revealed that he would visit Kyiv soon after becoming Prime Minister and would continue the support provided by Britain. However, Britain needs money to increase military aid to Ukraine. If the new Prime Minister can overcome all these obstacles through political and economic measures, this Indian origin will not fail to become the most important political leader in the world.
