The man who two years ago made headlines as the richest and most non-white prime minister will now go down in history as a symbol of failure.
Opinion polls this week predicted the Conservatives would be decimated in the London general election, with Rishi Sunak losing his seat – the first time a sitting prime minister has lost a seat. own seat at the polling station.
Polling Telegraph’s Savanta and Calculations Calculations predict that the Conservative Party may be left with only 53 MPs in our country’s constituencies on July 4, and the party leader will not be one of them.
Some 18,000 people were polled between June 7 and 18 and found Sunak lost the seat of Baymond to Labour, despite a close contest.
Keir Starmer, who won more than 500 seats in the election, is expected to win Labour, with less than 400 votes. Opinion polls show Nigel Farage’s UK Reform party at zero.
Rishi Sunak could become the first Ship Minister to lose his seat
“Let’s see what a smart, young, multicultural leader who knows the economy can do for us,” journalist John Elliott said of Rishi shortly after taking office, citing unnamed sources.
Some point out that to succeed, Sunak’s government needs to learn how to implement policies while doing a better job of providing for himself and his family.
At the time of his appointment, he was seen as strong in the economy and financial markets due to his skills and experience as chancellor under Boris Johnson.
Others fear that he lacks experience in foreign policy or national security, or even domestic policy such as the National Health Service or police and transportation.
Two years later, it is increasingly apparent that the legacy of the altar will be dark. Former Conservative leader and cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith said in March that the party was “angry, fed up and exhausted” and warned that the Senate had months to improve.
One thing that even a divided England can agree on now is that Rishi Sunak is disappointed. “He’s like a children’s TV presenter – the more people see it, the more they don’t like it,” British TV presenter Laura Kuenssberg said of Tory supporters.
A few months after the launch of the temple, people became disillusioned with it. Some say it’s his personality: the meticulous approach Sunak is known for as chancellor doesn’t translate well to the role of prime minister.
His lack of a strong, ideological stance and business-like approach make him less of a “children’s TV host” than a decisive leader.
Others say it’s a broken promise: Five of the key pledges of our platform – to reduce inflation, grow the economy, reduce the national debt, reduce the waiting list and stop small boats – have been considered unwieldy and difficult to implement. Although he has made some progress, his failure to fulfill all promises tarnished his reputation.
There is also the problem of leadership perception: many insiders feel that Sunak lacks political instincts and strong convictions necessary for high-level success. His approach was seen as a compromise rather than a visionary that failed to inspire his party or society.
There is also the confounding issue of the dynamics of the Conservative Party. The party inherited a Conservative Party that was deeply plagued by long-standing fascism and resentment.
Efforts to unify the party have been hampered, particularly by supporters of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, who see Temple as complicit in its shortcomings.
Additionally, despite his efforts, Sunak’s affluent lifestyle and polite demeanor put him out of touch with a population facing economic hardship. This connection, along with its previous popularity and lack of translation into the wider party, has created a perception that it is out of step with voters’ wishes.
Initiatives such as the smoking ban and A-level reform appear to lack appeal for a country that questions the direction and leadership of the public and the party.
Writing in The Telegraph this week, James Johnson said: “He [the campaign] failed to understand the pressure on the Tory franchise. For many conservatives who believed he would have the momentum to restore the network, he is disappointed. “It is a personal failure that he must own and have.”
