  1. I don't think this is going to save the party, it might ease things in the short term but the real problem with the Conservative party isn't the leadership and it's more the party it'self, it really started to fracture over Brexit and it's got worse overtime and some of the problems were there before Brexit, hence why David Cameron called for the Brexit referendum in the first place to heal the party infighting, but it didn't work and in fact, Brexit exposed the problems a lot more in the party. What the party needs is a general election and for the party to get wiped out at that election, the idea being is to wipe out the fanatical elements in the party like the ERG group, I think that's the only way to save the party, otherwise they will drag the rest of the party down and what's needed is the moderates to take control of the leadership but to also pull the strings in the party and that just isn't likely to be the case with anyone that leads the party. Basically, I suspect Rishi Sunak is going to be a bit like Theresa May, more of a moderate but couldn't get much done over Brexit because her strings were being pulled in all directions, that could happen to Rishi Sunak. It's really high time that the party start to realize that the leader isn't the problem, the party is and has been for quite some time now, it's only now the British people are starting to wake up and realize that. But in any case, we need a leader that can repair ties with the EU, that's unlikely to happen with any Tory leader, so expect things to be smooth for a few months, after that, the infighting will kick off, especially if Rishi does try to repair the damage done to the UK by bringing the UK closer to the EU which I think is needed to stop the bleeding on the economy.
