I actually find it a tad ironic when one considers our oppression of India for 200 years,draining it's wealth and the displacement of nearly 13 million people.
Hi s race ,age ,and money should have nothing to do with his ability to pull this country together ,and the need for stability is of the utmost importance.
As you well know from Australian politics you can't please everyone when it comes to decision making ,so let's see how he copes before we criticise.
My take on the E.U. was that we could take back control of our own personal management and laws including immigration . Well as we all know that hasn't worked.
We pored millions into other countries and for what.
Financially we haven't fared well in the trade industry so as to what it did achieve leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
Without rocking the boat too much I think there will be a reshuffle within the Cabinet. As an ex Chancellor of the Exchequer I would imagine that Sunak has his own take on things.
It seems that the market has already settled ,but for how long Guess you will never please everyone when it comes to policies but any improvement has to be better than what we have and are witnessing.
He has the overwhelming support of Parliament.Let's hope it all calms down , he reshapes the Government and they all learn to get along for the good of the country.

In the last few days I have been overwhelmed by the number of people who suggested that I should once again contest the Conservative party leadership, both among the public and among friends and colleagues in parliament.
I have been attracted because I led our party into a massive election victory less than three years ago – and I believe I am therefore uniquely placed to avert a general election now.
A general election would be a further disastrous distraction just when the government must focus on the economic pressures faced by families across the country.
I believe I am well placed to deliver a Conservative victory in 2024 – and tonight I can confirm that I have cleared the very high hurdle of 102 nominations, including a proposer and a seconder, and I could put my nomination in tomorrow.
There is a very good chance that I would be successful in the election with Conservative Party members – and that I could indeed be back in Downing Street on Friday.
But in the course of the last days I have sadly come to the conclusion that this would simply not be the right thing to do. You can’t govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament.
And though I have reached out to both Rishi and Penny – because I hoped that we could come together in the national interest – we have sadly not been able to work out a way of doing this.
Therefore I am afraid the best thing is that I do not allow my nomination to go forward and commit my support to whoever succeeds.
I believe I have much to offer but I am afraid that this is simply not the right time.
RE: Do you feel sorry for Liz Truss
True that .At least he didn't go off the rails though.Always the heir apparent but never achieved the glory.
