[Circle depth] Pightning conspiracy, light public opinion, "pit" the British Conservative Party

[Global Times Special Journalist Ji Shuangcheng in the UK] The British Conservative Party, which has been in all directions, is anxious to replace the party's first in this summer. After the prime minister Johnson, who had intended to complete the three sessions of the three sessions, resigned, the conservative party's first battle began in the recent rush. Almost all the candidates led to propose to reshape the traditional values ​​of the Conservative Party, but the British who are experiencing high temperature and high price torment. Not a fairy tale.

It's not just Johnson, but also the Conservative Party

When he announced his resignation, Johnson told the parliament in the British Parliament's lower courtyard in a half -joking tone that he was not ashamed of himself as he stepped down in advance; on the contrary, he was proud of his "political achievements" in recent years. In the UK, whether it is Johnson's supporters or opponents, they will agree with the statement of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, because everyone knows that there are not only Johnson, but also the Conservative Party.

Since the establishment of a joint government with the Liberal Democratic Party in 2010, the Conservative Party has been in power for 12 consecutive years. In 2010, the British government faced a financial crisis, and now they are likely to face another economic crisis. During the Cameron government, the Conservative Party pulled back from the British cliff by a tightening policy. But since then, the United Kingdom has been on the road of rejuvenating the economy, and "Brexit" has eventually become a risk of politicians. Johnson, the general of the "Brexit" faction, convinces more British believe that only by getting rid of the European Union's policy restraint can the British life be more comfortable. However, the differences between Britain and the European Union after the Brexit, coupled with the impact of the new crown pneumonia and the Russian and Ukraine conflict, the British economy seems to enter a new round of recession.

Different from the Cameron government, it is difficult for the Johnson government to use fiscal tightening policies to deal with the time situation. What is even more embarrassing that the conservatives are that the government can only increase taxes, which is exactly the departure from the traditional values ​​of the Conservative Party. The Conservative Party then hoped that Johnson was regarded as a "scapegoat", let him step down, and replaced another new face to save the support rate of the Conservative Party's "falling" before the British election was held in 2024.

They always live in "Little Britain"

The former financial minister of Indian descent Sonak is one of the new faces of the conservative party. In the fourth round of voting held on the 19th, Sunak further consolidated his leading advantage in campaign with 118 votes. In an exclusive interview with British media, Sonak said that Mrs. Sachel had helped his father to take care of the grocery store when he was young, and he also assisted his mother to take care of the pharmacy when he was a child. He said that if he wins, he will govern the economy like Mrs. Sachel. From the perspective of some British, this seemingly earthy statement was argued for the conservative richest man who had "no workers' class friends" before.

However, the small circle of the Conservative Party is in a wider level of British society. Sunak is not the favorite of most British voters. The latest polls show that former National Defense Minister Montert was regarded as the best candidate for the new Prime Minister in the hearts of the British with a 27%voting rate.

Why is the conservative opinion different from the general people's views? Some media bluntly stated that the conservative party has always lived in the "Little Britain" they belongs to, emphasizing the elite culture. They live in the entertainment of the millionaire clubs, and they dare not think of ordinary people. The reason why Mo Dangt was favored in the people, in addition to her grassroots family, and her celebrity diving show "Wow! The performance in ". From the moment he participated in the campaign of the Conservative Party, Modot was label that he was "harmless to everyone within the Conservative Party and could compete with the Labor Party outside the Conservative Party".

On the 13th, the first round of voting will eventually eliminate the new financial minister Zahawi, who will not speak English before the age of 11, and the former foreign minister Hunter eliminated. The two men reflect the consideration of the conservative's meticulous political layout -the high -profile Zahavi ’s personal tax is being investigated recently, and it is by no means the most ideal party’ s choice. As for Hunter, his claim in Europe will only worry the Conservative Party, and the risk of public opinion will be higher in the future.

No matter which conservative party member, when the campaign program is announced, "tax cuts" are hung on the mouth. However, the British media invited economists to calculate in the live broadcasts over and over again, and helplessly told the public that what the conservative party populated was more like fairy tales. The OECD predicts that the British economic recession is difficult to avoid, and next year will become the worst member states in the Seventh Kingdom Group. If the conservative party government does not continue to increase taxes, it is necessary to try their best to reduce public expenses in order to alleviate high inflation. From the hospital's bed to the brick and tiles to be replaced on the elementary school building, all of them are the goals saved.

Someone is very disgusted with the campaign debate

On the day of the first round of the conservative party, the Conservative Think Tank Policy Research Center convened analysts and former British officials to discuss the future of the Conservative Party face -to -face. The complaints of one of the audience impressed the reporter of the Global Times. The audience said that he did not understand why the conservatives chose to sit and talk about tax cuts, instead of entering the grassroots to understand the problem of inflation to the people. He said that as a supporter of the Conservative Party, what he does not want to watch now is the live broadcast debate, because no matter how good the candidate is on the show, it is just a political gimmick if it cannot be implemented. Nevertheless, the Conservative Party did not want to carry out a big reform of himself. The party's stubborn attitude was actually a pragmatic political consideration. According to the British "Financial Times" recently reported that because most of the conservative party members are older, their political views are more right than ordinary voters, so these people are more inclined to vote for right -wing candidates within the party. The British "Times" reported that the current Foreign Minister Tellas is the representative of the Right -wing camp within the Conservative Party.

The Conservative Party is expected to select the last two leaders on July 21 to determine the new Prime Minister's candidate on September 5. Trafus, a professor of political science at the School of Political Science and Economics of London, said that almost all candidates have the ability to be the new Prime Minister compared to Johnson. He believes that the Conservative Party now needs a person who looks like the Prime Minister, a "conventional" person who can stabilize the Conservative Government.
