Former Chancellor Rishi S Diak and Foreign Minister Liz Truss are the last two candidates in the race to replace Boris Johnson as the leader of the next Conservative and Prime Minister. After leading every vote so far, S was sacrificed to maintain its popularity among the Tory MPs and took the top of the fifth and last round of the leadership contest with 137 votes, while Truss was second with 113 votes on July 20.
S, who came out of the cabinet on July 5, marked the beginning of the end of Boris Johnson’s administration, said he was the “Candidate” who could defeat the Labor Party in the next general election and that the economic policy he introduced as Minister of Finance “helped pass through the country This is through a very difficult period over the past few years. “
While S in fact emerged as the winner in the leadership voting among the Tory MPs, he faced a difficult challenge in getting support from the rank and conservative party files that would have been choosing a future PM, and so far it seemed to support his rival, Liz Truss.
Who is Rishi Sung?
42 -year -old Tory parliament member was born in the British Southampton from Indian parents. His father is a general practitioner for the National Health Service (NHS) and his mother runs the local pharmacy. His grandfather was born in Punjab and had migrated to East Africa, before moving to England in the 1960s where they were reported to do administrative work.
He studied at the Elite Winchester College private school, after that he went to Oxford University and Stanford University, where he received the title of MBA and won a prestigious Fullbright scholarship.
The impressive resume includes working as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and various hedging funds. In 2009 Sunak married Akshata Murty, heir to Narayan Murthy, owner of the Infosys billionaire.
Rishi Sung’s political career
The political career of S, began in 2015 when he was elected as a member of the conservative parliament for Richmond, Yorkshire. A initial supporter of Brexit, his career was thrown when he was appointed Minister of Junior at former British Prime Minister Theresa May. Sunak, who supported the election of Tory Boris Johnson’s leadership in 2019, was valued with the position of Head of Secretary for the Ministry of Finance that year. After the cabinet reshuffle in February 2020, S was found promoted to the Chancellor of the Minister of Finance, a post in the third place in the minister’s ranking, which was only placed behind the Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister.
As a newly elected Chancellor, he faced a difficult challenge to lead the economy when Pandemi Coronavirus went on a rampage throughout the world and locking was worn in England. Promise to “do anything” to help British citizens, he launched a £ 350 billion financial rescue package which caused an extraordinary increase in his personal poll, BBC reported. He was praised for this scheme and his expensive retention program, according to Reuters, avoiding mass unemployment.
Criticism of Rishi Sung’s policy
While S in fact can quickly surge through a conservative party in just a few years, he has faced the scathing criticism of the opposition and the public during his role as a Chancellor.
Sunda was reportedly criticized for not providing sufficient financial support to the household during COVID-19 locking. Reuters reported that the tax budget and expenditure in 2021, where the government would impose high taxes to the public and then spent on the public, also placed the UK on the path for its largest tax burden around 70 years, weakening their claims to support lower tax support.
During his term of office as a Chancellor, Britain also faced the highest inflation rate in 40 years, because consumer prices rose 9 percent in April this year, with a warning from the Bank of England that he would increase by another 11 percent. As a result, various trade unions in the UK have begun to striking for higher salaries. Last month, Britain faced its biggest train attack in 30 years, when more than 40,000 train workers took part in mass strikes and other groups also threatened industrial action.
Rishi Sung’s Private Image
‘Golden Children’ from British politics also suffered from a private scandal, when the controversy erupted over his wife’s finances Aksshata Murty. It was found in April that he had non-domicile status in the UK and thus, did not pay taxes in the UK on his income abroad. Meanwhile, it is not illegal, the labor party says “amazing hypocrisy” for the wife of the Chancellor to have reduced tax bills, while S is raised taxes for millions of workers, reporting the BBC.
Following the controversy, Murty announced that she would start paying British taxes. The report shows that he saves around £ 20 million taxes on dividends from the shares he is holding in Infosys.
Its image also suffered because of the ‘party scandal,’ when the media report and investigation of the government revealed that government officials including Johnson and S were he who had violated the rigorous British locking rules and attended the party. Both were fined by metropolitan police for attending Johnson’s birthday party in June 2020.
British Prime Minister Election: What’s Next?
Sunda and Truss will now start the final leg of their race by getting ready for weeks from the commotion throughout the country, where they will try to convince the members of the grassroots conservative party to choose them. Hustings is a meeting where the candidate debates policies and answering questions from the audience. The Guardian reported that there would be a total of 12 scrolls, with the first occurred in Leeds on July 28.
Estimated 160,000 party members will choose their choice candidate on September 2, either with online voting or via post and BBC reports that they are expected to receive ballots on August 1.
While S was siased continuing to maintain its popularity among the Tory MPs, TRUSS was liked by the rank and archive of the party so far, voters who would eventually decide who would be the prime minister in the future. A poll of Yougov from 730 Tory members from July 21 placed the frame right in front of Saunak, by 62% to 38%.
