The race to take over Boris Johnson and lead the British Conservative Party to become the country’s next prime minister has been settled on Monday night, sometimes with both candidates clashing in fierce debate.
The last two candidates are the country’s foreign minister, Liz Truss, and former Treasury Secretary Rishi Sunak, who resigned from the Boris Johnson administration last month.
The contest has focused primarily on post-COVID global taxes and economies, and post-Brexit immigration and navigation of the oceans.
At the TV debate on Monday, the snack was the most proof, “Risi, you just made the best tax increase in 70 years. How can you argue that it will lead to economic growth? And where was the growth policy for the last two and a half years? “
Two Candidates Fight for Conservative Voting in British Leader Race
Snack defended his position, saying, “Let’s slide our financial responsibilities … it will lead us straight to a penalty.” Inflation and high living costs are also at the forefront of the candidates.
Mr Snack said the country needed to get an “inflationary grip” and warned that if that weren’t done now, mortgage rates would rise to 7%. He also said that millions of people were driven into poverty, which meant that the Conservatives had no chance of winning the next election.
Truss, the leader of polls, wanted to know why he supported tax increases during this slowdown. Nile Gardiner, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Freedom Center, said the truss outperformed its rivals.
“Former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was overly enthusiastic and aggressive and seemed to be constantly interrupted, which didn’t look good to him,” Gardiner said.
The snack interrupted the truss 22 times within the first 12 minutes of the debate, leading to criticism from conservatives, perhaps explaining why he was lagging behind the truss.
Gardiner went on to say, “He came across an increasingly desperate figure, and the debate certainly reflected that … this was a gentle and conducting performance from Liz Truss.”
During the campaign, both Snack and Truss claimed to be the heirs of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, but Gardiner said the title belonged to only one or the other.

“Liz Truss is definitely Thatcherite. She praises Margaret Thatcher a lot, and her policy ideas are strongly influenced by Thatcherism. In contrast, Rishi Sunak is an inheritance of Margaret Thatcher. Not a person. ”
Gardiner, an adviser to Mrs Thatcher, told Fox News Digital: I’m stunned. Snacks are not Thatcher. Liz Truss can make a strong claim that he is a politician who follows in the footsteps of Margaret Thatcher. ”

According to Gardiner, the truss is more likely to win when the results are announced in early September, but when the snacks come back, he says, “some of his policy positions. It will be necessary to reverse the situation and shift significantly to the right, “he said, but I don’t think Conservative voters are convinced that he will change his position. Liz Truss is currently on a dominant political trajectory and is likely to become the next prime minister. “
The voting deadline for all Conservative members is September 2, and the results will be announced three days later. The winner will replace Boris Johnson as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Elections are not scheduled until 2025, and recent polls show that the Left Labor Party is 6 points ahead.
