The Two Tori Higher Ups Have Been Using Their Own Strategies To Get Reserved Brexiteers Loyal To Boris Johnson And Nigel Farage On Their Side
Liz Truss And Rishi Sunak Battle For The Favour Of Brexiteers
The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Affairs, Liz Truss, and the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, have been the two prime candidates to replace Boris Johnson.
Eight
in total are left in the race to become Conservative Party Leader and
the Prime Minister, but it's Truss and Sunak the bookies would have
you betting on.
Both
sides of the coin have to flip in favour of the Brexiteers, who're
still loyal to Boris and former Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage.
Rishi Sunak has announced that he will sort out the Northern Ireland
Protocol and keeping Unionists in both Northern Ireland and Scotland
happy.
Liz Truss
on the other hand wishes to scrap the Northern Ireland Protocol
entirely, cementing the UK as it's own master and not a slave to
Brussels, Paris, or Berlin.
The
competition is set to be dramatic, filled with backstabbers and four
faced lairs, and can turn ugly very fast.
Things
have already heated up with Liz Truss's Stop Rishi campaign, which
aims to usurp Rishi as the frontrunner and to install Truss as the
third female Prime Minister.
Sunak
has countered with his Stop Truss campaign, aimed to keep him in the
lead.
What
isn't translucent is how all of this will play out, between now and
the eventual vote for a new leader.
What
is certain is that today is the first round of votes, tomorrow will
be the second round, and July the 18th will be the third
and final round.
And
that July 21st is the deadline to decide the final two
candidates, still speculated to be Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak.
Jacob
Rees-Mogg has announced that he'd be dropping his bid in favour of
Liz Truss over Sunak, stating: “I've decided to support Truss over
Sunak on the grounds of policy issues, Brexit, taxation, and raw
politics.
It's
very interesting that somebody should start a campaign, after he
resigned from his post.
Boris
Johnson backers are oblivious to the fact that the man they're
throwing themselves onto, was instrumental in bringing their Prime
Minister down”.
