The closer we seem to get to the next General Election, the more it appears that Sunak is in trouble. As he struggles with low polling numbers, his group of rebels apparently have a plan to remove him from office. But, can this plan really work, and can it be successful?

Sunak isn’t the issue, it’s the party.

[@owenlindkvist5355]

He and the party are equally the issue.

[@SewerShark]

He is part of the party, so he is part of the issue.

[@genome616]

Sunak is not a conservative, he is an appeaser to globalist elite which also means the EU elite hence he was shoehorned into position and ever since has done little in the interest of the UK but done everything to appease the EU and WEF, his interests follow that of the global agenda, finance sectors and big corporate investors, the last thing on his list is the UK and its economy, we have to remember he is former Goldman Sach employee and has been indoctrinated to put profit before the interests of the supposed ppl he should be looking after. We did have a true conservative party but they have all been shut down and now we basically have a stagnant party that is scared to tackle problems directly in case it upsets someone else.

[@emotivelyy_]

He is certainly a large part of the issue 😠😠

[@meej33]

It's like changing managers in midseason: people often think "this one is not working, we need him out"; but rarely stop to consider whether a new one will work better, or it will be the same disaster with a different face at the front. TL;DR: Who will replace Sunak, and how will it result in a better election.

[@allliquid6320]

​@@lewis123417I wonder how Germany is doing now ?

[@Will-nq9yt]

@@lewis123417 The German economy is stronger than the British economy but the British economy has been f'ed before brexit since the Tories took over there has been almost 0% productivity growth. This means low wages which leads to low tax income and just in general a really bad economy. People just think "Cus the UK technically hasn't had a recession we are doing better than the EU" but this is far from the truth. Brexit isn't fully to blame but it basically threw a lot more gasoline on the fire. Basically if you have a degree or are qualified probably best to look to leave the UK if you want higher wages

[@lewis123417]

@Will-nq9yt Germany has been a stronger economy than the UK for decades so that is a totally mute point. And yes it is relevant that despite a global pandemic and brexit which was predicted to be a meltdown and yet we've avoided a recession and Germany hasn't. Productivity growth had been down the drain again for about 20 years so doesn't seem at all directly linked to brexit

[@DocUK123]

Based on the current data, the UK's economy in late 2023 was showing resilience with GDP at 1.4% above its pre-pandemic level, while Germany's GDP was only up by 0.3%. For 2024, the UK is forecasted by the OECD to grow by 0.7% and the IMF projects a 0.6% growth. On the other hand, Germany is facing a recession with negative growth expected in 2024 due to weak business prospects and geopolitical uncertainties. The German economy contracted by 0.3% in the previous year and is also dealing with high energy prices affecting production, increased corporate bankruptcies, and a cooling labor market. The IMF predicted Germany to be the only G7 economy to have shrunk in 2023 [❞] [❞] [❞].So, in terms of recent performance and short-term projections, the UK's economy is showing stronger growth compared to Germany's, which is grappling with several challenges that are hindering its economic output.​@@Will-nq9yt

That's because it's a stupid idea, and the more time passes the dumber the idea becomes. There's going to be a general election in the UK potentially as early as this May and Tories will be out and Labour will be in so it doesn't matter who is Tory PM right now. At best, they're hoping that they can suffer smaller losses under someone else (more extreme) but the machinations of actually kicking Sunak out means that they have very low chance of getting Sunak out AND then they need to advertise it to the public that they're now Sunak-less and the people need to accept it.

I think it's more that they want to keep their seats. If they can convince their local constituency that they tried to get rid of the 'bad Tory elite', they might cling onto their seat, even if the Tories lose the election. If they do nothing and don't challenge Sunak, their right-wing constituents might switch to Reform or even stay home.

As a bystander (not a UK citizen) I don't have a stake, but as a lefty I think the Tories ousting Sunak - the most competent leader they had in close to 5 years - is a boon to Labour and I will urge them to do so. Only with a completely defeated and disgraced conservative party can the UK attempt to fix what is really broken in that country - the non-proportional first-by-the-post anti-democratic election system that puts pretty faces ahead of policy in what a citizen needs to consider in the voting booth, and penalizes minority opinions into nonexistence.
