Big challenge after becoming PM: There will be 3 ex-Prime Ministers with Sunak in the British Parliament

Rishi Sunak of Indian origin has become the 57th Prime Minister of Britain. In his first public speech after becoming PM, he said- Our path is difficult, but now we have to cross the path ahead. He said the mistakes made by former Prime Minister Liz Truss would be rectified.

Now the British Parliament and the Conservative Party in particular will be watched. There are some reasons behind it. Sunak referred to Liz Truss' mistakes in the speech. The special thing is that 3 former Prime Ministers of his party will be with him in Parliament. That's why these situations look a little different.

Will these three leaders become a burden?

Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. These three former Prime Ministers are those who served as Prime Ministers in the last three years. There are fears that having three former prime ministers in parliament could widen the rift in the Conservative Party. However, this is part of the British democracy and system of governance.

More importantly, the alliance of three former prime ministers could prove problematic for Sunak. Even in terms of age, the new PM is quite young. In a presidential system, it is rare for a former prime minister to appear in parliament after his term ends. On the other hand, in Britain after World War II, many former Prime Ministers were seen as MPs.

Will the differences persist?

• Sunak was a very successful finance minister in the Boris Johnson cabinet. When he left the cabinet, ignoring Johnson, the result was that Boris also had to resign within a few months. Now Johnson will also be keeping a close eye on Sunak's every move. There will also be two women, Theresa May and Liz Truss.

• As far as history is concerned, there is historical precedent for long-term presence of former Prime Ministers as MPs in Parliament. Edward Heath left 10 Downing Street as PM in 1974 and remained in the House of Commons until 2001. However, three recently resigned Prime Ministers will appear together in Parliament, unprecedented in Britain's modern history.

• The mutual view of these leaders has also been different from others. For example, Theresa May openly called Boris Johnson's behavior inappropriate in the age of Covid-19. Johnson may have supported Liz Truce in September to remove him from the party leadership position, but in fact, he did not come to Parliament to help Liz after that. How much will these three former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak help? Only time will tell.
