British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned from her position. Therefore, the election of the leader of the party will be held again in the country, who will automatically become the new prime minister.
About this Channel 24said Bogdan Tsyupin, a Voice of America journalist from London. He noted that in the situation of the energy and economic crisis, Britain will again be in the electoral whirlpool.
Qiuping noted that for many people it is an unpleasant surprise that the UK has not had a stable government for a long time.
I think this is undesirable for many. Especially in a situation in which we are actually dealing with an energy and economic crisis, when it is necessary to decide how to help Ukraine, how to find funds and ways for this to provide more effective assistance,” the Voice of America journalist said.
He noted that in this situation the country will again be in the electoral pool, although this is not a general election. We are talking about the election of the leader of the party, who will automatically become prime minister. After all, the Conservative Party continues to have a decisive majority in Parliament, therefore it has the right to form a government.
At the same time, according to the journalist, many hope that people with better ideas on how to solve the problems of the UK will come to power.

What are the biggest problems in Britain
Qiuping recalled that in September, Liz Truss and the British Chancellor of the Exchequer unveiled their ambitious financial plan. It consisted, on the one hand, in the fact that people would be helped, for example, to pay energy bills. Because gas and electricity prices have gone up in the UK, just like in many European countries.
But the problem is that in this very package, where the government said that will spend huge amounts of money on subsidies, and since Liz Truss is a stubborn conservative, she simultaneously noted that she would cut taxes, the journalist noted.
That is, he explained, it turned out that, on the one hand, the government's expenditures are increasing, while revenues theoretically should have decreased. And the deputies in the Conservative Party actually rebelled. They said that the plan presented by Liz Truss actually collapsed the pound, created an even greater economic problem in Britain and deprived her of her right to continue to lead the government. : what is known
