I think that your situation is, above anything, completely unacceptable from the point of view of democratic principles. Tories nominate 2nd PM without broader mandate (elected by miniscule minority of people), despite that polls show vast discontent with the party... I'd have thought that general election was assured, especially after 2 consecutive governments' complete failures. Even from the Tory party's perspective, I think that elections, departure to opposition, dealing with the internal issues at ease and later re-emerging as reformed party would do a lot more good than trying to cling on to every month of power. They only make things worse for themselves. I have no idea what do they fear; that Labour government would undo Brexit? Of course not (not that it'd be a bad idea but unfortunately, it won't happen).
"It’s the beginning of the Sunak era" - The Press. Has everyone had collective amnesia over the last 3 years? Who was chancellor during Johnson's reign? This isn't a reset, this is - once again - a continuation project. Think the last few months show that there needs to be huge reform within Parliament in how situations like this are dealt with. There should be a clause that a GE is triggered if a PM does not serve their mandate/term and resigns before the election cycle is complete.
Liz only resigned because it was possible to have a leadership contest. If we say resignations trigger GEs then parties will keep their leaders in place even if they're not doing anything.

As a Portuguese, I have to agree with you. This kind of PM swapping over and over with no GE is something that wouldn't be possible in Portugal. You voted for a party, but also for a specific PM and a Government project, not just the party itself. A few years back when Durão Barroso was Portugal's PM and resigned to go to the European Comission, a party member stepped up for the job: it was a disaster, and not even a year after, the President dissolved Parliament, and GE ensued. Both he and his party were kicked out. Fast forward half a dozen years, and another PM generated a serious crisis, worsened by the Sub Prime collapse. He was forced to resign, and GE ensued. Both he and his party were kicked out. What I see in Britain right now is a political system that is constantly giving a blank check to a party, that repeatedly screws things up, again and again.

The EU is undemocratic. Rishi Sunak being crowned in an internal coup is horrible, and the fact you now have two parties that are exactly the fucking same is also horrible. However that doesn’t somehow make the EU into an institution where the member states with their own democratically elected governments have a say over their own internal affairs without having an unelected foreign power that doesn’t represent them claim they know better. If you aren’t Germany or France, you have no power over the EU Parliament. And if you’re a citizen of the EU, you didn’t vote for Ursula von der Leyen. Also, Sunak is your only unelected leader. Your system in Britain means that you elect MPs to represent one constituency, and the leader of the party with the most seats becomes the PM. The country doesn’t directly elect a Prime Minister, that’s just not how it works and you damn well know it. You elected the Conservative Party in 2019, and Boris Johnson was elected by the Conservative Party to be its leader. He resigned and Liz Truss was elected to be the new party leader and therefore the new PM. You can’t claim that she wasn’t democratically elected, because she was by your party system, and if this was happening under the nearly identitical Labour Party then you wouldn’t be complaining because it’d be “your guy” in charge regardless of whether or not the entire population elected that party’s leader. The problem is Sunak throwing an internal coup and being crowned unopposed, because the tables were tilted so that no other candidate but him could be put on the ballot. Because if put to the ballot, Sunak would once again lose because he is unpopular.
@@m.ostrowski2031 Well that's a pantload and a half. EU member states didn't have to do jack that they didn't want to, and MEPs are elected representatives who *elect* their own leadership. The "unelected" "bureaucracy" canard has started doing the rounds since the "sovereignty" lie has been ruthlessly mocked whenever some clown dared to try it on and rightly so.
@@m.ostrowski2031 In what way is the EU more or less democratic than your average parliamentary system? (And I'd argue that it's definitely not less democratic than the British first-past-the-post electoral system, or the not-quite autonomous devolved parliaments of the "lesser" UK countries). Please elaborate. Simply stating that Ursula Van Der Leyen wasn't elected isn't enough, as in principle anyone can be invited to join a cabinet in a democracy, even if they didn't get the votes.
"Won" is an interesting term to use, as there was no contest. They made very sure the membership didn't get a say, as he would have lost to both Johnson and Mordaunt. As a PM with no public mandate (even less than Truss), as well as being a former Chancellor with no-one to blame but himself for the tanked economy, he's the Conservative version of Gordon Brown. With that, and the census figures likely to blow apart the Conservatives reputation for being the "firm on immigration" party, he's toast.
An alternate way to look at is the guy who came in 2nd place seven weeks ago in the party membership election replaced the (now resigned) 1st place winner, so he was the product of a small election (vs a more fair general election)
That's my beef. He got many things right including Brexit calling out Truss'crazy economic proposals. He did showed a trait of leadership when he decline to join her unfunded tax cuts, although it would have made his life easier. However, Rishi was not elected. Not even by his own party members. Just the parliamentary block selected him.. He actually lost the party leadership election two months ago. Some compare Rishi to Obama's 2008's election. Nonsense!!🤦🏽♂️ Obama was elected. After a brutal Democratic primary campaign which more than 30 million people voted in, he was tapped by them to contest the general election, which he won handily. ... Meanwhile, Rishi was selected by his colleagues to lead them. That's like selecting a state Speaker (leader of a party inside a legislature). ___ He would never had won with the members of the party. 🤷🏾♂️ ... UK is not the USA. It's an old world nation built on ethno-national foundation. Poor Rishi, he doesn't get it. ___ *The MPs should have picked Penny!!* People can relate to her. She's hard to hate. Eloquent and intelligent. Just look at her sign language speech in Parliament and how she deals with hecklers. Impressive. (BTW, I'm not white).🙋🏾♂️
@@HusseinDoha I do agree with you, Sunak has not have what it takes to connect with the ordinary people, hes wooden, his stunt with the car and coke fell flat, his admission he diverted money earmarked for poor urban areas to weathlier ones was a real disaster and this won't be forgiven by the voters. There's nothing so ridiculous as a man wealthier than the king governing people who are struggling to buy food and heat themselves, yet the mps crowned him as the best they have, its not going to end well for him, his party or us
@@HusseinDoha They're holding their cards in a way, the only way to save this country is to use unpopular measures which come at the cost of higher unemployment so it's better to put Rishi incharge of it so he takes all the blame and labor win.

It’s not a pension. It is the Public Duty Cost Allowance for expenses involved with being an ex-prime minister. Apart from security, I can’t see her claiming much in the way of other expenses like travel. Who will want to listen to her?
His arrival only brought 30-40 more minutes to a sinking ship. They really should have elected him back in early September. Then again, I chuckled quite a bit when I heard how Biden pronounced Sunak’s name: Rashe Sunook... The States never ceased to surprise me.
Right. Considering it is the MPs that vote down PMs it makes sense for them to select them too. Really the conservative members should have no say in who the prime minister is, given they are substantially a know nothing bunch of ultra right wing idiots.
Yup, when one of the big Brexit lines was that the leaders in the EU aren't elected directly by the people...well, what do they think they're doing now?

He'll fix things for the big donors, the ivory tower elites in the City, while the rest of us get to deal with Austerity 2.0.

The point of the metrics should be to make sure that the poorest Brits are better off, as opposed to just making the economy as a whole better off (which can result in the rich taking a bigger slice of the pie and workers not getting any better off in their material wealth). The last metric would be in Rishi avoiding the corporate push towards privatized healthcare.

“We inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.” -Rishi Sunak, 2 months ago.
You say "balancing the books will require painful cuts." Will it? Why? I really wish we could look at cuts and austerity as the political choices that they are, not absolute necessities that the government are being forced to do. It normalises the idea of cutting public spending and takes blame away from the government.
Sunak is a former employee of Deutsche Bank, which isn't known for hireing idiots. The best he can do is using his professional experience to handle the markets and just avoid to further obstruct the economy or make the headlines with stupid anouncements. Things than might just turn from catastrophic to better than expected. This is how torture works.
He racked up half the U.K. national debt as his short time as chancellor, billions wasted on vanity projects such as eat out to help out, add that to contracts to his buddies. Would I trust him with my life savings?….. that would be a no.
The Deutsche Bank does indeed not hire idiots. But they love people who have an utter disregard for anyone who does not happen to be incredible rich and try to make as much money as possible...
@@stephenhill545 Of course not. No bonus banker does. But Deutsche Bank is so well known for being involved in every financial crime all over the world that rumours are told in Frankfurt the police is going to establish a permanent office in the foyer. So among their hiring criteria are greed, diligence, cleverness, an adjustable set of morals and a bendy backbone. Sympathy isn't among afaik. Definitely Sunak's set of skills fits better into politics than just a pair of boobs.
He will outlast Liz. Liz did not have the backing of the MPs so it was a strange situation where she did not have the support of her own MPs. Of all the candidates, Rishi is the one with most number of MPs supporting (even more than Boris). There will always be some backbenchers who are disgruntled but if any Rishi has the best chance of being PM until the end of term. You need the support of MPs more than Conservative members to survive.
The question is how the conservatives plan to survive the next elections. Because the way things are going, Rishi is set to completely dillapidate their name.
Can i just say. I think he is going to be memorable i dont know if that will be a good thing though…just he stands out. But his force is ultimately kinda scary. He is words about bojo are alarming.
Can I just say that having our leaders constantly change like a game of musical chairs is probably not very stabilizing for the country.

However that doesn’t somehow make the EU into an institution where the member states with their own democratically elected governments have a say over their own internal affairs without having an unelected foreign power that doesn’t represent them claim they know better. If you aren’t Germany or France, you have no power over the EU Parliament. And if you’re a citizen of the EU, you didn’t vote for Ursula von der Leyen.
Also, Sunak is your only unelected leader. Your system in Britain means that you elect MPs to represent one constituency, and the leader of the party with the most seats becomes the PM. The country doesn’t directly elect a Prime Minister, that’s just not how it works and you damn well know it. You elected the Conservative Party in 2019, and Boris Johnson was elected by the Conservative Party to be its leader. He resigned and Liz Truss was elected to be the new party leader and therefore the new PM. You can’t claim that she wasn’t democratically elected, because she was by your party system, and if this was happening under the nearly identitical Labour Party then you wouldn’t be complaining because it’d be “your guy” in charge regardless of whether or not the entire population elected that party’s leader.
The problem is Sunak throwing an internal coup and being crowned unopposed, because the tables were tilted so that no other candidate but him could be put on the ballot. Because if put to the ballot, Sunak would once again lose because he is unpopular.
@@m.ostrowski2031 Well that's a pantload and a half. EU member states didn't have to do jack that they didn't want to, and MEPs are elected representatives who *elect* their own leadership. The "unelected" "bureaucracy" canard has started doing the rounds since the "sovereignty" lie has been ruthlessly mocked whenever some clown dared to try it on and rightly so.
@@m.ostrowski2031 labour is not nearly identical to the Conservatives. Fiscally and socially they have very different views.

In what way is the EU more or less democratic than your average parliamentary system?
(And I'd argue that it's definitely not less democratic than the British first-past-the-post electoral system, or the not-quite autonomous devolved parliaments of the "lesser" UK countries).
Please elaborate. Simply stating that Ursula Van Der Leyen wasn't elected isn't enough, as in principle anyone can be invited to join a cabinet in a democracy, even if they didn't get the votes.
"Guilt yields" 5:28
It's hard to see which contender for the seat I would support, but without the choice we'll just have to see how it turns out.
"Won" is an interesting term to use, as there was no contest. They made very sure the membership didn't get a say, as he would have lost to both Johnson and Mordaunt.
As a PM with no public mandate (even less than Truss), as well as being a former Chancellor with no-one to blame but himself for the tanked economy, he's the Conservative version of Gordon Brown. With that, and the census figures likely to blow apart the Conservatives reputation for being the "firm on immigration" party, he's toast.
An alternate way to look at is the guy who came in 2nd place seven weeks ago in the party membership election replaced the (now resigned) 1st place winner, so he was the product of a small election (vs a more fair general election)
That's my beef. He got many things right including Brexit calling out Truss'crazy economic proposals. He did showed a trait of leadership when he decline to join her unfunded tax cuts, although it would have made his life easier. However, Rishi was not elected. Not even by his own party members. Just the parliamentary block selected him.. He actually lost the party leadership election two months ago. Some compare Rishi to Obama's 2008's election. Nonsense!!🤦🏽♂️ Obama was elected. After a brutal Democratic primary campaign which more than 30 million people voted in, he was tapped by them to contest the general election, which he won handily. ... Meanwhile, Rishi was selected by his colleagues to lead them. That's like selecting a state Speaker (leader of a party inside a legislature). ___ He would never had won with the members of the party. 🤷🏾♂️ ... UK is not the USA. It's an old world nation built on ethno-national foundation. Poor Rishi, he doesn't get it. ___ *The MPs should have picked Penny!!* People can relate to her. She's hard to hate. Eloquent and intelligent. Just look at her sign language speech in Parliament and how she deals with hecklers. Impressive. (BTW, I'm not white).🙋🏾♂️
@@HusseinDoha I do agree with you, Sunak has not have what it takes to connect with the ordinary people, hes wooden, his stunt with the car and coke fell flat, his admission he diverted money earmarked for poor urban areas to weathlier ones was a real disaster and this won't be forgiven by the voters. There's nothing so ridiculous as a man wealthier than the king governing people who are struggling to buy food and heat themselves, yet the mps crowned him as the best they have, its not going to end well for him, his party or us
@@HusseinDoha They're holding their cards in a way, the only way to save this country is to use unpopular measures which come at the cost of higher unemployment so it's better to put Rishi incharge of it so he takes all the blame and labor win.
After labor win and if they didn't do a great job while in power the conservatives will use a more "ideal easily votable candidate" to win another election.
Mandate was given to Conservatives, so they can choose whoever they want as their leader and PM

It’s not a pension. It is the Public Duty Cost Allowance for expenses involved with being an ex-prime minister. Apart from security, I can’t see her claiming much in the way of other expenses like travel. Who will want to listen to her?
kinda suspicious that all his opposition quit at the last minute, even if they gave their own reasons.
His arrival only brought 30-40 more minutes to a sinking ship. They really should have elected him back in early September.
Then again, I chuckled quite a bit when I heard how Biden pronounced Sunak’s name: Rashe Sunook... The States never ceased to surprise me.
Wonder why the party members didn't vote for him? Really with all the racist shit I've already seen about him in the past
Like he or the UK matters to anyone important, anymore. Not even a part of the EU!

I'm glad he got it by default. The members messed it up last time. I wouldn't trust them with a barge pole.
The Tories are in chaos. He won't be able to paper over the cracks for long. The ERG are insane, so watch out for them.
Right. Considering it is the MPs that vote down PMs it makes sense for them to select them too. Really the conservative members should have no say in who the prime minister is, given they are substantially a know nothing bunch of ultra right wing idiots.
He did come in second place with the members 7 weeks ago - so, it can be argued they did vote for him.
Right, that's it, let's make a People's Republic of UK and throw out all the silly politicians
Coming from a country that gloated about being more democratic than the EU, I have to admit I feel quite a bit of schadenfreude.
Yup, when one of the big Brexit lines was that the leaders in the EU aren't elected directly by the people...well, what do they think they're doing now?
Neither EU or UK are democratic.
Considering that Truss couldn't outlast a lettuce, the bar has been set really, really low for Sunak 😂
If he fumbles this, that really is a shame. Imagine getting served a volleyball softly... and it still smacks you in the face.
But his game and his belief in self is real. He did know what was going to happen and didn't the accept position offered by Lizz truss . He believed in himself, he knows what he wants that's what a leader needs .
I'm in despair over the state of UK politics. It's horrible
It probably isnt that bad. The press always like to make things look worse than they are, for clickbait purposes. Hopefully they'll have some other stories soon; best would be if our sports people could win something, probably.
@@roqsteady5290 unless you live under a rock its effing bad, even food banks are threatened with closure because they can't afford to run fridges and peoole can't donate enough food because they have no money, we have a party now lead by a man who's richer than the King and is PM, how can he possibly know what it's like to be poor, honestly some times people write such asanine drivel
@@roqsteady5290 No, it's legitimately that bad.
All that's happened is that the 'sane' man in the room, the one who's only responsible for killing people with his Eat Out to Help Out scheme that spiked Covid cases and deaths, that bragged about depriving the poor to give to the rich because they vote Tory, looks 'good' compared to the insanity of Truss and the sliminess of Johnsen.
He'll fix things for the big donors, the ivory tower elites in the City, while the rest of us get to deal with Austerity 2.0. Except we never left Austerity, so it's Austerity: Austerity II Extra Cuts Galore.
We already don't pay people a living wage. Prior to current inflationary problems. Full time workers can't feed their sodding kids and need food banks to survive, all the while Tory MPs and supporters straight up deny poverty even existing in the country.
Sunak's no Rees-Mogg, but he sure as hell isn't going to make life better for 99% of the population.

Painful cuts. I doubt it’ll hurt Rishi’s bank account or his father in laws. And don’t you worry defence spending will somehow increase and the poor will suffer as normal. The economy doesn’t realistically exist for anyone working pay to pay

@@natenae8635 Are you dense? Do you think he got a personal fortune of over 200 million by having nice hair? And it involves him because he's the prick in charge that is going to cut spending which will affect the poorest but won't hurt defence, finance or property he is going to get richer from this.
@@GrimReader Their no benefit to him personally by cutting taxes. Any wealth tax reduction will hurt him badly so he wouldn’t do it.

"Just be millionaire" is not that easy Andrew. Its even harder to get to marry a billionaire. Unless, you're lucky. He was lucky to meet her in one college. He then had to impress her to be in a relationship. And he made his wealth by himself. To ladder up the powerful positions in most powerful country is not easy either.

If Sunak manages to salvage the economy, the next election is gonna be an actual challenge for Labour to get over the line.

As an American, I find it delightfully entertaining to read all these comments with an English accent in my head
Video suggestion, how we will know if Sinai has done a good job in the coming year. What are the fair benchmarks for his success given the current state of play and how will he be able to sway the tide of public opinion.
Low inflation, low interest rates, positive growth.
Making it the entire year would be a good benchmark for success 🤷♂
@@roqsteady5290 The measurable metrics would be: inflation in the price of food and electricity is at 0% or lower relative to prices in September 2022, interest rates on mortgages for first time homebuyers are less than 6% per year.
The point of the metrics should be to make sure that the poorest Brits are better off, as opposed to just making the economy as a whole better off (which can result in the rich taking a bigger slice of the pie and workers not getting any better off in their material wealth).
The last metric would be in Rishi avoiding the corporate push towards privatized healthcare.

Larry the Cat. He'll be the best pm we've had, though his record on mouse rights is bleak.

You say "balancing the books will require painful cuts." Will it? Why? I really wish we could look at cuts and austerity as the political choices that they are, not absolute necessities that the government are being forced to do. It normalises the idea of cutting public spending and takes blame away from the government.

Wow, the podcast is EVEN better than the UA-cam content! Please keep that going!
Sunak is a former employee of Deutsche Bank, which isn't known for hireing idiots. The best he can do is using his professional experience to handle the markets and just avoid to further obstruct the economy or make the headlines with stupid anouncements. Things than might just turn from catastrophic to better than expected. This is how torture works.
He racked up half the U.K. national debt as his short time as chancellor, billions wasted on vanity projects such as eat out to help out, add that to contracts to his buddies. Would I trust him with my life savings?….. that would be a no.
And do employees of Deutsche Bank care about employment rights, fracking, the right to protest, and the poor?
The Deutsche Bank does indeed not hire idiots. But they love people who have an utter disregard for anyone who does not happen to be incredible rich and try to make as much money as possible...
@@stephenhill545 Of course not. No bonus banker does. But Deutsche Bank is so well known for being involved in every financial crime all over the world that rumours are told in Frankfurt the police is going to establish a permanent office in the foyer. So among their hiring criteria are greed, diligence, cleverness, an adjustable set of morals and a bendy backbone. Sympathy isn't among afaik. Definitely Sunak's set of skills fits better into politics than just a pair of boobs.
@@witlesswonderthe2nd883 Depends on what you want. If you want your money end up in his pockets, you can trust him with any amount.
You guys are right. I had forgotten about Disraeli.

What a fantastic channel. Keep up the good work!
He will outlast Liz. Liz did not have the backing of the MPs so it was a strange situation where she did not have the support of her own MPs. Of all the candidates, Rishi is the one with most number of MPs supporting (even more than Boris). There will always be some backbenchers who are disgruntled but if any Rishi has the best chance of being PM until the end of term. You need the support of MPs more than Conservative members to survive.
The question is how the conservatives plan to survive the next elections. Because the way things are going, Rishi is set to completely dillapidate their name.
Neat, I asked this question before TLDR did
I wonder how he’s going to make his private assets and investments rise in value. It’s all these guys ever seem to be interested in.
Is it just me, or does Sunak's demeanor and haircut look Vulcan. I imagine his acceptance consisting of raising an eyebrow and saying "fascinating".
Calling it his greatest privilege really means a lot coming from Rishi Sunak, considering all the other privilege he has to compare it to.
Um boys, its GILT yields, not Guilt yields. Your graphic at 5:29 is a pretty amateur mistake and undermines your credibility.
