Rishi Sunak Becomes Prime Minister... but can he outlast Truss? 

It's actually a good thing long-term. It means incompetent or evil people won't last long and consolidate power. That's much better than ending up with a wannabe-autocrat (cough cough Trump)

Bold of you to assume they would go only once for each one. Bojo had a serious chance of being reelected this round, what stops them from trying every member and than doing it all over again?

Not really, they will repeat going through the whole Conservative faction again otherwise the general election would be their downfall.

Fun fact : liz truss served under 2 monarchs

@@bishnoi969 just imagine. So many prime ministers the past century served under the SAME monarch, yet here is truss casually serving under two monarchs.

@@bishnoi969 Shortest go at PM, but the only person alive who's served under two monarchs. Also also, PS: if tax money goes to the royal family, the monarchy should be abolished.

Though I see the future of the UK as bleak and dull, I wish all the best to the British people and hope the future generations live in peace and prosperity.

The UK could do a Belgium and have no government for years. Or a France/Sweden/Italy and vote for extreme parties. Or a US and get a certified moron, or a Russia, or Saudi Arabia etc etc. Things could be better, but things could be a whole lot worse. Get a life.

As an American, this whole thing is 🍿🍿🍿The brits, making us look great again.

I think that your situation is, above anything, completely unacceptable from the point of view of democratic principles. Tories nominate 2nd PM without broader mandate (elected by miniscule minority of people), despite that polls show vast discontent with the party... I'd have thought that general election was assured, especially after 2 consecutive governments' complete failures. Even from the Tory party's perspective, I think that elections, departure to opposition, dealing with the internal issues at ease and later re-emerging as reformed party would do a lot more good than trying to cling on to every month of power. They only make things worse for themselves. I have no idea what do they fear; that Labour government would undo Brexit? Of course not (not that it'd be a bad idea but unfortunately, it won't happen).

Elections are pointless when most people have no one to vote for who even comes close to representing thier views.

Why?

Liz only resigned because it was possible to have a leadership contest. If we say resignations trigger GEs then parties will keep their leaders in place even if they're not doing anything.

He is a paid-up Blairite, just like Starma. There is no meaningful difference between the candidates for the upcoming elections. I hope you like this one flavour of ice cream, 'cause that's all there is.

Yeah but its the better timeline, Truss was genuinely delusional. Sunak predicted everything that would happen with the economy if ahe pulled her libertarian bullshit.

As a Portuguese, I have to agree with you. This kind of PM swapping over and over with no GE is something that wouldn't be possible in Portugal. You voted for a party, but also for a specific PM and a Government project, not just the party itself. A few years back when Durão Barroso was Portugal's PM and resigned to go to the European Comission, a party member stepped up for the job: it was a disaster, and not even a year after, the President dissolved Parliament, and GE ensued. Both he and his party were kicked out. Fast forward half a dozen years, and another PM generated a serious crisis, worsened by the Sub Prime collapse. He was forced to resign, and GE ensued. Both he and his party were kicked out. What I see in Britain right now is a political system that is constantly giving a blank check to a party, that repeatedly screws things up, again and again. If the British people think that's a fair system, well...

The electors being his fellow MPs.

The EU is undemocratic. Rishi Sunak being crowned in an internal coup is horrible, and the fact you now have two parties that are exactly the fucking same is also horrible. However that doesn’t somehow make the EU into an institution where the member states with their own democratically elected governments have a say over their own internal affairs without having an unelected foreign power that doesn’t represent them claim they know better. If you aren’t Germany or France, you have no power over the EU Parliament. And if you’re a citizen of the EU, you didn’t vote for Ursula von der Leyen. Also, Sunak is your only unelected leader. Your system in Britain means that you elect MPs to represent one constituency, and the leader of the party with the most seats becomes the PM. The country doesn’t directly elect a Prime Minister, that’s just not how it works and you damn well know it. You elected the Conservative Party in 2019, and Boris Johnson was elected by the Conservative Party to be its leader. He resigned and Liz Truss was elected to be the new party leader and therefore the new PM. You can’t claim that she wasn’t democratically elected, because she was by your party system, and if this was happening under the nearly identitical Labour Party then you wouldn’t be complaining because it’d be “your guy” in charge regardless of whether or not the entire population elected that party’s leader. The problem is Sunak throwing an internal coup and being crowned unopposed, because the tables were tilted so that no other candidate but him could be put on the ballot. Because if put to the ballot, Sunak would once again lose because he is unpopular.

@@m.ostrowski2031 Well that's a pantload and a half. EU member states didn't have to do jack that they didn't want to, and MEPs are elected representatives who *elect* their own leadership. The "unelected" "bureaucracy" canard has started doing the rounds since the "sovereignty" lie has been ruthlessly mocked whenever some clown dared to try it on and rightly so.

@@m.ostrowski2031 labour is not nearly identical to the Conservatives. Fiscally and socially they have very different views.

@@m.ostrowski2031 flag explains it

@@m.ostrowski2031 In what way is the EU more or less democratic than your average parliamentary system? (And I'd argue that it's definitely not less democratic than the British first-past-the-post electoral system, or the not-quite autonomous devolved parliaments of the "lesser" UK countries). Please elaborate. Simply stating that Ursula Van Der Leyen wasn't elected isn't enough, as in principle anyone can be invited to join a cabinet in a democracy, even if they didn't get the votes.

As a male I cannot judge, but I do not understand how any sapient being could let this mop-headed hog-shaped unfunny clown on itself...

Wouldn’t unifying the party making sure people are on the same page make all that easier?

Unify the party or fix the economy. Pick one. The Cons are too divided and filled with lunatic ideologues to join together under anything other than complete bullshit.

@@MrOlleyOlley united on the surface is just useless better be harsh and disciplined but with sure results

Being a PM in UK is sure a Risky Business nowdays 😂😂😂 I'll be glad if the title is Rishky Buisness

An alternate way to look at is the guy who came in 2nd place seven weeks ago in the party membership election replaced the (now resigned) 1st place winner, so he was the product of a small election (vs a more fair general election)

That's my beef. He got many things right including Brexit calling out Truss'crazy economic proposals. He did showed a trait of leadership when he decline to join her unfunded tax cuts, although it would have made his life easier. However, Rishi was not elected. Not even by his own party members. Just the parliamentary block selected him.. He actually lost the party leadership election two months ago. Some compare Rishi to Obama's 2008's election. Nonsense!!🤦🏽‍♂️ Obama was elected. After a brutal Democratic primary campaign which more than 30 million people voted in, he was tapped by them to contest the general election, which he won handily. ... Meanwhile, Rishi was selected by his colleagues to lead them. That's like selecting a state Speaker (leader of a party inside a legislature). ___ He would never had won with the members of the party. 🤷🏾‍♂️ ... UK is not the USA. It's an old world nation built on ethno-national foundation. Poor Rishi, he doesn't get it. ___ *The MPs should have picked Penny!!* People can relate to her. She's hard to hate. Eloquent and intelligent. Just look at her sign language speech in Parliament and how she deals with hecklers. Impressive. (BTW, I'm not white).🙋🏾‍♂️

@@HusseinDoha I do agree with you, Sunak has not have what it takes to connect with the ordinary people, hes wooden, his stunt with the car and coke fell flat, his admission he diverted money earmarked for poor urban areas to weathlier ones was a real disaster and this won't be forgiven by the voters. There's nothing so ridiculous as a man wealthier than the king governing people who are struggling to buy food and heat themselves, yet the mps crowned him as the best they have, its not going to end well for him, his party or us

@@HusseinDoha They're holding their cards in a way, the only way to save this country is to use unpopular measures which come at the cost of higher unemployment so it's better to put Rishi incharge of it so he takes all the blame and labor win. After labor win and if they didn't do a great job while in power the conservatives will use a more "ideal easily votable candidate" to win another election.

Mandate was given to Conservatives, so they can choose whoever they want as their leader and PM

If he fumbles this, that really is a shame. Imagine getting served a volleyball softly... and it still smacks you in the face.

But his game and his belief in self is real. He did know what was going to happen and didn't the accept position offered by Lizz truss . He believed in himself, he knows what he wants that's what a leader needs .

Right. Considering it is the MPs that vote down PMs it makes sense for them to select them too. Really the conservative members should have no say in who the prime minister is, given they are substantially a know nothing bunch of ultra right wing idiots.

He did come in second place with the members 7 weeks ago - so, it can be argued they did vote for him.

It’s not a pension. It is the Public Duty Cost Allowance for expenses involved with being an ex-prime minister. Apart from security, I can’t see her claiming much in the way of other expenses like travel. Who will want to listen to her?

It's like that in Australia too. The Prime Minister is just the title of the leader of government, and the parties choose their own leaders. Our head of state is Charles 3, who also holds that position undemocratically. It's different again in India, where the Prime Minister is appointed by the President, who is indirectly elected through an electoral college.
