Britain’s Rishi Sunak has a month to shake his party from its slumber. If he fails, the next election could already be over

CNN  

London CNN — Rishi Sunak has just under a month to answer the most critical question he faces as British Prime Minister: why does his Conservative Party deserve another five years in power at the next election? “There are national and international forces making things tough for people, but he has a track record of making them better.” While there are many across the political spectrum who might disagree with that statement, and some of Sunak’s policies as chancellor have been heavily criticized, electoral politics are often about putting forward a case rather than getting bogged down in details. Some older Conservatives on the right of the party say that Sunak is not doing enough to attack his opposite number, the Labour Party’s Keir Starmer. “We are behind in the polls and we need to do something drastic to get our voters out because Labour is dangerous.” Rishi Sunak leaves Downing Street to attend Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons on March 8, 2023 in London, England.
