Shakespeare’s land has always produced powerful political drama. OUR the House of Commons this is perhaps the most demanding arena for a political leader – its immediate interactivity has been removed. OUR Tony Blair, although a passionate speaker, reports in his memoirs that the weekly “Prime Minister’s Questions” session was an extremely tedious process. It is difficult for a prime minister to run if he does not have the authority. That prestige was completely lost Liz Truss after a catastrophic mini-budget that caused a massive crash in the markets. Her rigidity seriously harmed the country.

Seeing her in Parliament last Wednesday, I almost felt sorry for her. Leader of the Labor Party, sir Keir Starmer he was stunning – he broke it methodically, with passion and sarcasm. Knowing little about British political life, he knew that her exile was only a matter of time. Mrs. Truss was a political mediocrity who, with the help of the supporters of a narcissistic clown who became prime minister, rose to the rank of prime minister. You easily win the votes of members of the Conservative Party with Thatcherian, inappropriate and inappropriate platitudes (“low taxation – high growth”), but it is difficult to run a country with strong political traditions and high demands.

Whoever inherits it will receive chaos. Conservative Party he’s in a spiral he can’t get out of. On the one hand, there is no clear, generally recognized leader. On the other hand, the damage to the party’s political capital is irreversible. The party of supposedly good governance and a strong economy has been taken over since 2016 by a group of ideological extremists out of touch with reality. The ideologies and political adventurism that led to Brexit are the psycho-intellectual framework within which the so-called “Conservative” party operates. The introverted dogma that produced two plus one prime ministers in three years undermined his political capital. He is definitely heading for electoral collapse. The elections will be short. The new prime minister will lack political legitimacy. Every week it will be knocked in Parliament. It is unlikely that she will consolidate her power. The stability the country needs must be provided by the pragmatic centre-left.
