Kindly recall that Rishi Sunak will be formally sworn in as PM on 28 th October, 2022 but would be the prime minister of UK with a crown of thorns. The challenges are tremendously thorny as he’ll have to take Britain out of the immense economic morass, the front on which former PM Lizz Truss failed within forty five days of her taking charge as the PM of Britain. However, Rishi Sonic has vowed to bring stability and unity in the party by countering the present economic instability which failed two previous PM Borris Johnson as well as Lizz Truss of Conservative Party.

Being the former finance minister and an expert in resolving cumbersome and complex financial issues and situations it is believed that Sunak will sail the ship out of the existing financial morass. But in case he too fails like his predecessors not only will the conservative Party go down badly the nation will have go for the mid term polls.
