On 24th October, Rishi Sunak was declared as PM of UK. We should pay attention to the word 'declared'. In 2019, general elections were held in the UK. There are 2 parties in the UK Conservative party, Labour party. Conservative party won with the majority of 365 seats. Boris Johnson became UK's next PM.
Now why did Boris resign? There are several reasons leading to the resignation but the most important is Boris lost the confidence in the public as well as his party's MP. There were controversies leading to the resignation of Boris.
Partygate scandal- Political scandal in the United Kingdom about parties and other gatherings of government and Conservative Party staff held during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, when public health restrictions prohibited most gatherings. While several lockdowns in the country were in place, gatherings took place at 10 Downing Street, its garden, and other government buildings. The police issued 126 FPNs to 83 individuals whom the police found had committed offences, including Carrie Johnson and Rishi Sunak the then Chancellor of Exchequer.
On 7th December 2021, a video clip emerged in the media, in which, Allegra Stratton the Press Secretary of PMO is mocking both the parties in the video. This leaked video pressured Allegra Stratton to resign from her position.
Boris Johnson had to give explaination from his end where he says," I believed implicitly that this was a work event. And I should have recognised it even if it could be said technically to fall within the guidance, there would be millions and millions of people who simply would not see it that way and to them, and to this house, I offer my heartfelt apologies".
Wallpapergate scandal: The conservative party has been fined nearly 18,000 pounds by the election commission of the UK for improperly declaring donations towards the refurb of Number 11. When Boris Johnson renovated Number 11, Downing street he did not declare the donations he had received. Prime minister get an annual grant of 30,000 pounds but he spent around 200,000 pounds.
The new Deputy Chief appointed by Boris, Chris Pincher, was revealed to have sexually assaulted two people. On June 31st he resigned. Boris says he didn't know about these allegations on Chris pincher. Leading to this, the then Finance Minister, Rishi Sunak resigns, Health Secretary, Sajid javid resigns. Over the 24 hours, 36 MPs resign from their roles in the government. On 7th July 2022, Boris resigns.
After this Liz truss and Rishi Sunak had to prove that they have support of 100 MPs where Rishi failed to show his support and Liz Truss was elected as the leader of Conservative party and declared as PM of the UK. Liz Truss had many responsibilities as the country was in economic crisis. She implimented a new plan infront of people of UK promising to revive UK's economy. She released a huge package with tax cuts. The idea behind this was "trickle down economics" that by giving tax cuts to the rich, the benefits eventually trickle down and reach the commoners. This idea came out as a flop idea, Pound value after this implimentation reached its all-time low. IMF told the government to think of the plan, now what Liz Truss does is just a bad sign of being a leader. She blames Kwasi Kwarteng, the then Chancellor of Exchequer saying whatever was done till date was done by him and me, then Kwasi Kwarteng resigns from his post. Now new Chancellor gets elected Jeremy hunt who was then Foreign Secretary in Boris government. As soon as he became the Chancellor he rolls back all the promises made by Liz Truss. After this UK's people see a conflict between Jeremy and Liz saying Jeremy was the one running the country. After this only 10% approved the Leadership of Liz Truss. Now Liz Truss resigns from the post of the UK PM.
Conservatives know that if general elections will be called now then the chances of their party winning the elections is next to impossible. So now Rishi Sunak crossed the mark of 100 MPs first so he was elected as PM of the UK. As an Indian I'm happy about the fact that first Hindu-origin PM, Rishi Sunak is elected as PM but right now Rishi should give justice to his responsibilities towards the UK. Not thinking of anything else but just growth in economy would be sufficient to prove himself. Proud thing for an Indian giving India a hope to work in the UK.
Thanks to everyone who read till here and hoping that Rishi never fails in giving justice to the people of the UK.
