UK: Liz Truss Officially Becomes New British PM.
By IduwiniVoice, September 6, 2022.
The ever dynamic political environment of the United Kingdom has seen a pattern in the last decade. British Prime Ministers are increasingly finding it difficult to finish their elective tenure.
Whilst we may not look very far, the popular Brexit Protest and subsequent Plebiscite conducted to withdraw the United Kingdom’s membership from the continental block, European Union didn’t end without consuming David Cameron.
The gentleman who had promised not to oversee an exited Britain from the EU, kept his words as the Plebiscite ended in the affirmative to Brexit proponents.
Theresa May, the second female PM of the Britain, only after the great Margret Tasha, the “Iron Lady” came in to complete David’s tenure and worn another elections but also resigned over her inability to broker a successful deal for the exit conditions of the UK.
Boris Johnson who also completed Mays tenure and worn the next elections was impeached in July over charges of complicity in corruption and Russian puppetory.
Liz Truss has been elected to replace Johnson by the Conservative Party and appointed as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom by Queen Elizabeth (II).
Truss, the former foreign secretary, was invited to form a government by the 96-year-old monarch, after her predecessor Boris Johnson tendered his resignation at Balmoral Castle earlier on Tuesday morning.
Due to concerns over the queen’s mobility, the audience, known as “kissing hands” (although hands are no longer kissed) was held at Queen Elizabeth’s Aberdeenshire estate rather than at her London residence, Buckingham Palace.
Truss has since flown back to London to deliver an address on the steps of No. 10 Downing Street, the prime minister’s official residence, today.
Appointment of her top cabinet is expected to follow immediately with her close political ally Kwasi Kwarteng, Johnson’s business secretary, expected to be announced as Truss’ Chancellor.
It comes after Truss emerged victorious in the long summer Conservative Party leadership contest, which was triggered by Johnson’s resignation following a Cabinet revolt over his handling of a series of scandals, becoming Conservative leader after beating former Chancellor Rishi Sunak in a 57 to 43 percent vote by conservative party members.
She promised to keep her campaign promises made during the the buildups to the elections which includ a suite of tax cuts and tackling the soaring cost of energy,
in her acceptance speech.
“I campaigned as a Conservative and will govern as a Conservative,” she said on Monday.
The new prime minister will appear before MPs at the traditional weekly prime minister’s question time at lunchtime tomorrow, Wednesday.
