After Boris Johnson announced his resignation two months later, Britain will usher in the first prime minister and the ruling party. At 12:30 noon on September 5th local time (7:30 pm Beijing time), the results of the British election will be released. Tras and Sunak will become the leader of the Conservative Party and automatically become the British Prime Minister.

Say goodbye

British Prime Minister's dispute began to resign at Boris Johnson.

At the beginning of June this year, the Conservative MP of the British Parliament launched a disliked vote on Johnson, who was trapped in the "gathering door" scandal, and directly threatened Johnson's Prime Minister. But Johnson won the vote and was able to stay as the head of the Conservative Party and the British Prime Minister.

Less than a month later, Johnson's appointed Deputy Party Vice Party whipping resigned from the sexual harassment scandal, and the Johnson government fell on the verge of collapse. In early July, the Minister of Health Javid and the Minister of Finance Suonak resigned one after another, triggering the Johnson government's resignation. After more than 20 government officials resigned, Johnson announced his resignation on July 7.

When Johnson announced his resignation, "In the past few days, I tried to convince my colleagues that it was a very weird behavior to replace the government in the situation where we still have so many tasks and to replace the government in such a difficult situation in the domestic and international economic situation."

He obviously failed to convince his colleagues. Although he insisted on saying that "would rather be dragged out of Tangning Street and did not resign" a day ago, Johnson could only help compromise in the face of the "forced palace" within the party.

Choice

Johnson joked in a speech in August and mentioned that the next Prime Minister in the UK "must not be men or women."

According to the "Guardian" report, at present, whether it is a gaming website or a number of polls, it is generally displayed that the support rate of Tras in the party is higher than that of Sunak, and the proportion of the two votes is about 6: 4. If Tellas wins, she will become the third female prime minister in the UK.

Tellas was born in Oxford in 1975, not a political elite from the traditional British "Eaton-Oxford". Tellas entered the British Parliament in 2010. He first served as a member of the Southwest Norfolk. Since then, he has held multiple positions among the government led by Cameron, Trysa May and Johnson.

In the 2016 Brexit "Brexit" referendum, she was a supporter of "staying in Europe", but in 2017, she changed to support "Brexit" and contributed to the trade agreement between the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and other countries. Winning inside is generally praised.

Tellas is the first female judge and judicial minister in the UK. After Johnson reorganized the cabinet in September 2021, she became the second female diplomatic minister in British history. Many media have reported that she imitates Mrs. Sachel's dress.

According to the British Sky News Network, for a long time, Tras has been "inspired by Mrs. Iscele" and is famous for its liberalist views on economic and trade.

Sunak also graduated from Oxford University and came from an Indian immigrant family. If Sunak was elected this time, he would become the first Indian prime minister in British history.

Sunak has served as the Minister of Finance in the Johnson government, and "elite" and "calm" are the evaluations of his supporters. However, in July this year, he resigned from the government for losing confidence in Johnson. The outside world said that this move caused a "resignation" of government officials related to Johnson.

On the day after learning that Johnson announced his resignation, Sonak quickly announced the decision of the election, and many Johnson supporters attacked him "political infidelity." In this regard, Sunak said that this was because he and Johnson had "fundamental differences" on economic affairs and positions.

future

Whether it is Trask or Sunak, as a successor of Johnson, there are many problems to be solved.

According to the British "Financial Times", after a few minutes to the 10th Tangning Street, the new Prime Minister will respond to the worst economic crisis since the global financial crisis. With the rise of energy prices, the inflation rate has reached double -digit, the interest rate of mortgage loans has risen, and concerns about long -term decline, the public expects Tangning Street to take out rescue plans.

In this regard, Tras promised to reduce taxes immediately and focused on economic growth. At the same time, he attacked his competitors to push taxes to a record high, leading to slower economic growth. Sunak emphasized the need to maintain the current tax in the short term. At the same time, he promised to provide more targeted support for the people who needed most help during the cost of living costs.

In terms of people's livelihood, the new Prime Minister has to face the anger of the union. Since June this year, workers of the British railway and subway systems have held several strikes to protest the low salary level, poor working environment and layoffs. In September, criminal lawyers and postal employees also planned to join the strike.

Tras promised to curb the "good trade union", and Sonak promised to "stop the union's extortion of workers."

Right now, the Russian -Ukraine conflict has fallen into a "long -lasting war", and Europe's aid and support for Ukraine gradually become weak. Johnson was a firm supporter of Ukraine, but after the US midterm election, if the US position has changed or the situation in Russia and Ukraine changes, it will quickly challenge British diplomacy.

In addition, the new Prime Minister will also face the challenges of Britain and the European Union. During Johnson's tenure, the relationship between Britain and the European Union fell to the bottom. Both Trask and Sunak promised to promote legislation and rewrite the Northern Ireland Protocol. This will make the relationship between Britain and the European Union tense and may even have a trade war.

"Financial Times" analyzed, "Given the current situation in the UK, the new Prime Minister may face one of the shortest political honeymoon periods in modern history." "Who would like to be British Prime Minister at this time?"The confrontation between Ras and Sunak is about to usher in the finale.When the British government faces difficulties, it is still unknown when it can end.
