Lots of gray heads, lots of militants in royal blue t-shirt made up of a “liz for leader” or a “we are ready for rishi”. Thousands of members of the British Conservative Party crowd this Wednesday, August 31, at Arena Wembley, a large performance hall located a stone’s throw from the legendary London stadium, to attend the twelfth and last debate between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Liz Truss, and his opponent, the former chancellor of the Echiquier Rishi Sunak, both contenders for the post of Prime Minister.
The suspense is low after an internal primary largely disconnected from the concerns of the British, paralyzed by the massive economic crisis which threatens their country. According to the many polls carried out since the end of July, Liz Truss is almost guaranteed to enter 10 Downing Street on September 5, replacing Boris Johnson, pushed by his own deputies to leave the head of the Tories as a result of the scandal of “partygate”.
“I am 99.9 % sure that Liz will be appointed next Monday, she is the candidate for renewal, she did not receive a fine for” partygate “, unlike Mr. Sunak”, insists Jordan Kiss, a law student fan of m me truss.
On his side, Mohammed Rahman, a supporter of Rishi Sunak, made the grimace: “He is the best on the economy, he still has a chance”, wants to believe this resident of eastern London, who, who, who, Like many in the audience, “regrets” the departure of Boris Johnson. “It is unfair that he was pushed at the start, we, the activists, should have had our say.” “Boris has this ability to create a link with people, not Liz Truss, who seems so robotic” , regrets Anita, a supporter of Mr. Sunak, without illusions on the chances of her champion.
At 42, Rishi Sunak had everything to win this primary: an assessment praised in the firm Johnson and a rather realistic program, placing the fight against inflation (+ 10.1 % in July) at the forefront of its priorities. But he failed to counter the rumor, maintained by the relatives of Boris Johnson, according to which he would have conspired to bring down the Prime Minister, still very popular with the 160,000 members of the Conservative Party. Conversely, Liz Truss, 47, managed to pass for the candidate for continuity, overcoming loyalty to Mr. Johnson.
“favorable” to hydraulic fracturing
This Brexitus with a libertarian tendency, swearing only by the free market and the “less” state, led campaign on a single proposal – all -out tax cuts – perfectly calibrated to seduce the members of the Tories , but which seems completely inadequate in view of the dark economic situation that the United Kingdom faces. Inflation is still likely to climb, reaching 22 % in 2023, according to maddening forecasts from the Goldman Sachs bank.
