The Power Pact Asian-Immigrant Race for British PM Position

-





It’s an interesting fight coming around next week in 10 Downing Street as Boris Johnson with a whirlwind in his head decided to quit as PM. He bowed down to pressure and has left the seat open to some of the most interesting contenders.

For starters is Narayanmurthi’s son-in-law and finance minister in 2020, Rishi Saunak.

1.  Rishi Saunak: He promised reform even though there has been huge tax burden on UK after his tax-and-spend formula didn’t work well. He announced his candidature through a video recently.

2.  Nadhim Zahawi: He is an interesting man with his survivor story of coming to UK from Iraq as a refugee and surviving it to go onto become the new finance minister.

3.  Liz Truss: What truly goes into her favor is her carefully cultivated PR image. No wonder, the foreign secretary has been the darling of the Conservative Party`s grassroots and has regularly topped polls of party members carried out by the website Conservative Home.

4.  Tom Tugendhat: A regular critic on Johnson, he has combat training in his pocket as a former soldier who has fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is the chair of parliament`s foreign affairs committee.

5.  Grant Shapps: He was never in favor of the exit from European Union. Launching his candidacy, he has confirmed that his goal was to address the cost-of-living crisis and he would plan to hold an emergency budget in his first 100 days of office to cut taxes for the most vulnerable and give state support to firms with high levels of energy consumption.

  1. Sajid David: Another symbol of inclusion by Britain, he is a classic example that Britain doesn’t believe in Islamophobia. The son of Pakistani Muslim immigrant parents, he is a Thatcher admirer and finished fourth in the 2019 leadership contest to replace former Prime Minister Theresa May.
7.     Jeremy Hunt: He was the former foreign secretary, 55. As current health minister, he  has kept himself from being tarnished under Johnson leadership. He finished second to Johnson in the 2019 leadership contest. So, he is a close contestant even now; even more because he can offer more serious and less controversial style of leadership after the turmoil of Johnson`s premiership.
