Liz Truss’s successor will become Britain’s third prime minister in less than a year. There is no room for a new name in this competition, so the prime minister will already be a familiar name, the researcher estimates.
Early on Friday morning in Britain, no one had officially registered for the prime ministerial race, but yesterday there were speculations that By Liz Truss are already hot on the heels of a possible successor.
Trussi can be replaced by a familiar name.
– Speculation is running wild that the former prime minister Boris Johnsonwho had to resign in July, would consider running as a candidate, says the regional director of the Foreign Policy Institute Juha Jokela In ‘s morning interview.
Johnson is currently holidaying in the Caribbean, but according to some reports, he would be returning to Britain.
– If he interrupts his vacation, he might be available, says Jokela.
However, simply being available this time does not guarantee a nomination for the leader of the Conservative Party and the new Prime Minister of Britain. Candidates must get 100 conservative representatives behind them before they can become a candidate, says Jokela.
– The question then is whether, for example, there is that hundred behind Boris Johnson.
The next prime minister will be a familiar name anyway
Liz Truss’s successor will become Britain’s third prime minister in less than a year. If something can already be said about the successor, it is that he will already be a familiar name.
– The new prime minister will be known by Friday at the latest. If there is only one candidate, he will be selected already at the beginning of the week, the director of E2 Research Mari K. Niemi says.
– There is no room for any new challengers who would make themselves known or make a new breakthrough.
There is certainly one strong name in the competition Rishi Sunak, who came second to Truss when the Conservatives elected their leader last summer. Truss already warned at that time about the dangers of Truss’s economic policy.
Also Penny Mordaunt did well in the summer competition.
Niemi and Jokela also find the Minister of Defense an interesting name Ben Wallacewho did not compete last summer.
– He is considered to be some kind of safe pair of hands who could pilot Britain forward, Jokela estimates.
