This becomes clear as we scrutinize his sudden resignation from the position of chancellor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the exchequer, back in December, that kickstarted the downfall of Boris. His credentials run from India to East Africa to the UK (with a sprinkling of US in it).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at pros and cons of Rishi Sunak as the next UK Prime Minister:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is one of the youngest candidates for the PM position at 42. We love young leaders.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is well educated and has the doctrine of both Oxford and Stanford in his resume.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is an apt businessman with a strong understanding of Economics and Business due to his experience with Goldman Sachs and other hedge funds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His tenure as the Chancellor of exchequer was nothing but outstanding.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His political understanding of taxes is what the UK needs right now. One of the few leaders willing to put his neck out and ask for the unpopular, more tax.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His influence and Indian origin base may help with the India-UK Free Trade Agreement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His wife is the daughter of a rich and very well accomplished Indian (one of the key brains behind the Indian IT industry). He doesn\u2019t ever have to worry about money for himself.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His young naivete is apparent with the way he has announced himself, as everyone could see through the months in planning it took him to do so.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His out of reality\u2019s touch billionaire lifestyle may not be good for the problems of the common people.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He isn\u2019t a reliable partner as he has shown to be switching sides whenever opportunity arose for him. From May to Bojo to anti-Bojo. Problem.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has failed to declare his wife\u2019s assets in taxes which is a fraud, not a faux pas for someone with his finance background and Chancellor role. Big problem<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was also caught in the Partygate scandal just like Boris and is very much similar to him. Do we really want a polished Bojo? How do we go past this problem?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what the result might be, Rishi\u2019s win might go positively for India-UK Free Trade Agreement. We might see an ease of business and relaxing of restrictions for trade. Since he is an expert economist, the UK might even float far in this regard, but when it comes to his understanding of common people and their woes, I am not so sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, a good candidate for India. An average candidate for the UK. World needs to wait and watch. People in Ukraine need to be much more worried than anywhere else. They have lost an ally and any new person will come with newer ideas. No one will match the support Boris Johnson gave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the future has in store, no one knows. If we were to go by the precedent set by history, he won\u2019t win since he is the leader right now and the person who leads during the primary very rarely ever wins the election in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Boris Johnson\u2019s resignation, the conservative party already has a prime candidate to replace him\u00a0 with Rishi Sunak.
