The British Conservative Party has created colossal political and administrative chaos in four years, with dire consequences for the population. But the same party is back in action when it comes to the new British Prime Minister. This is unlikely in nearly any other democratic country but sadly it is a sad political reality in London.

On Monday afternoon, the British public will find out who the potential replacement for Liz Truss is. Truss decided to step down last week after becoming prime minister in just 45 days. This was utterly unbelievable after previously announcing massive tax cuts and financial markets reacting with rising interest rates and a sharp drop in the value of the British pound. He sacked the finance minister, Kwasi Kwarteng, but his replacement Jeremy Hunt promptly reversed the tax cuts. This made his position untenable.

But the fact that Truss was elected by a Conservative majority also says something about the party’s quiet state. They wanted to believe him, despite repeated warnings that he was making reckless promises. His opponent, Rishi Sunak, was more realistic but lost to Truss.

Brexit has brought nothing to the country

The Conservative Party is a party that has lost the past of a once mighty empire, United Kingdom, but can not forget. That reflex was very present in the decision, despite the slim referendum result, to leave the EU on a ‘hard Brexit’. Britain would be better off without the EU, being more affluent and without the ‘uncontrollable’ influx of workers from Eastern Europe.

The Brexit process was a drama in itself, due to internal political divisions in the House of Commons, but the so-called independence achieved nothing for the population. The country is experiencing an economic downturn, with empty shelves in shops and a huge shortage of staff. The biggest drama is the post of prime minister Boris Johnson, a populist, who lies and cheats, handing out jobs and tenders to party members.

In four years the party has gone through four leaders (David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss) who all failed in their premierships. Despite this, the party managed to win the last election, partly because Labor lacked a viable alternative. But how to proceed after Brexit remains the biggest divisive issue within the Conservative party.

Therefore, a new election is preferable for the future of Great Britain, but it won’t happen for now. The Conservative Party is doing very poorly in the opinion polls and it is unlikely that the new Prime Minister will call an election. We’ll find out who replaces Truss later this week, as long as his name isn’t Boris Johnson.
