“Our Mission Is To Fundamentally Change Our Country” Promises UK PM Rishi Sunak

At the Conservative Party Conference on Wednesday, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will lay out his plan to fundamentally transform the nation, aiming to dismantle a political system that favours the “easy decision, not the right one.”

Sunak will attempt to mobilise Conservative members with a call to action, in all but the last toss of the dice to reset his premiership, as the Conservative Party behind the opposition Labour Party in surveys before a national election anticipated next year.

But as the Manchester conference in northern England comes to a close, a dispute over the fate of a high-speed train project has mainly eclipsed his attempt to revive his term by pledging action rather than meaningless platitudes.

Sunak will address the crowd at what may be his final party conference after one year in office, promising to make new choices and put long-term thinking ahead of short-term expediency.

“Politics doesn’t operate as it ought to. For the past 30 years, our political system has rewarded making simple decisions rather than intelligent ones. According to excerpts of his address, he will remark that change has been hindered for thirty years by vested interests.

Our political system is overly concerned with immediate gain rather than long-term success. Our goal is to profoundly transform the nation.
His refusal to make an announcement about the HS2 high-speed railway’s second phase, which includes a line to Manchester, the location of his party’s conference, and the controversy surrounding it run the risk of undermining his message.

Sunak and his finance minister, Jeremy Hunt, have criticised the project’s eye-popping costs, which have been plagued by delays and significant budget hikes and may reach 100 billion pounds, but neither has publicly stated if the project would be shelved.

Business leaders claim Sunak should be held accountable for being motivated by short-term political gain rather than taking into account the benefits a new high-speed train line could provide generations to come if it is abandoned or delayed.

Sunak will also criticise Labour leader Keir Starmer in an effort to flip the narrative. This is just the beginning of what is sure to be a diabolical election campaign.

“The Labour Party’s stance is to do and say as little as possible and hope that no one notices,” said the party. They want to continue conducting politics in the same manner as before and take the votes of the populace for granted.
Power for the sake of power is at issue. In a nutshell, it represents everything wrong with our political system.
