Unpopular Rishi Sunak In 'Doom Loop' as UK PM Stares At Election Defeat
Surveys overwhelmingly show that Britons want an end to 14 years of Tory rule, and nothing that Rishi Sunak has done since he became PM 18 months ago appears to be changing their minds.
Rishi Sunak, the beleaguered leader of Britain's Conservative Party, finds himself in a precarious position as he attempts to reverse his party's declining fortunes. Despite implementing two tax cuts and witnessing a slight economic improvement, Sunak's political standing has plummeted to an all-time low, exacerbated by criticism from former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and speculation surrounding Nigel Farage's political intentions.
The looming spectre of a general election spells trouble for Sunak, with political scientist Rob Ford describing him as appearing "hapless" in the face of overwhelming momentum shifting away from the Tories. Surveys overwhelmingly indicate a desire among Britons to end the Conservatives' 14-year rule, with recent polls predicting a significant electoral defeat for Sunak's party.
Despite assuming office 18 months ago, Sunak has failed to fulfil key promises and struggles to resonate with voters. His inability to stem migrant arrivals, reduce National Health Service waiting lists, and stimulate economic growth has eroded public confidence. Additionally, his attempts at leadership and policy resets, including revisions to carbon net zero commitments and discussions on extremism, have fallen flat.
Furthermore, the emergence of the Reform UK party poses a significant threat to Conservative seats, particularly if Farage decides to contest elections under its banner. Sunak's attempts to find a solution to his party's woes have thus far proved ineffective, with polls indicating high levels of voter dissatisfaction and Sunak himself receiving a net favorability rating of minus 38, the lowest among politicians surveyed.
As Sunak grapples with mounting challenges and an increasingly unfavourable political landscape, his prospects for retaining government power appear bleak. Despite his efforts to rejuvenate Conservative fortunes, Sunak finds himself in an increasingly untenable position, facing the daunting task of reversing a seemingly irreversible decline in public support.
