Rishi Sunak takes over as Britain’s prime minister facing several big problems at once. The government needs to fill a GBP45 billion hole in public finances, while also contending with the cost-of-living crisis brought on by decades-high inflation. He will also confront a dissatisfied work force that has launched strikes in recent months across several industries, including barristers and rail workers. Then there are political divisions, both in the nation and within his own Conservative Party. Conservatives are fractured despite holding a majority in Parliament, and Sunak is the third prime minister this year alone, so many in Britain are calling for a general election. But the only way that happens before the early 2025 deadline for a broader vote is if Conservatives agree to it – and their chances of victory aren’t looking so hot right now.
