Is there enough time for Rishi Sunak?

Rishi Sunak UK Property

With a tremendous wave of sceptical Tory members and many more in the general public arena, has Rishi Sunak taken on what many would deem as an impossible job? With an election due in 2024, which will come around before you know it, is there enough time to steady the ship?

Liz Truss only remaining in the seat for a mere 45 days and having herself won the Prime Minister role over Rishi Sunak, with Boris Johnson making a staged comeback only to fizzle out quicker than a cheap sparkler on bonfire night, is there a party in more an unorganised state than that of the Conservative Party? Rishi Sunak’s promotion to Prime Minister encouraged a flat reception online with many sceptical as to whom are making up the rules and where is democracy – We are a far away cry, or should I say scream, from the 80 seat majority in the last election.

Are we actually sure what conservatism means these days in politics? Labour and Liberal are also held up in the same light, or should I say failing torch plied with cheap batteries purchased from the hardware stall at the local boot-sale.

Reform Party increasing membership

Reform Party increasing membership

 

Many question if any of the two main parties deserve to lead the country and if a fringe party is the way forward which holds the majority of the publics view points. Reform Party are on the lips of many disgruntled Tory voters and also Labour too – With increasing illegal immigration, cost of living, house prices, NHS waiting times and more, is it time for a new kid on the block ready for 2024?

Though it has been common knowledge for some time, Rishi Sunak holds a wealth of around three quarters of a billion and that includes an impression amount invested in property to include a Yorkshire mansion, five-bedroom mews house in Kensington and a £5 million Santa Monica flat (oh those private jet / business class flights – let’s not get talking about the climate change scam hey) to name just a few…

Speaking of property, just how well will Rishi Sunak in charge help the UK property sector? Will a man of property willingly allow the property market to crash? Will he allow new build quotas to be met, releasing of land for building, invest in failing towns and cities? What about the cladding scandal, Renters Reform Bill, Utility Bills and more… ?

Some will say he is nothing more than an installed member of the WEF which would raise more alarms as this would mean we are due very little care and attention to the governments employees, ie the public, and more focus on the global reset agenda – Dare I say that you will own nothing and be happy.
