As in 1940 and 1979, Rishi Sunak said the UK needs the Conservative Party “now more than ever”.
London:
Former British Chancellor Rishi Sunak has invoked the legacy of one of the successful Conservative Party leaders and British Prime Ministers, Margaret Thatcher, as a way to connect with traditional Tory voters.
The 42-year-old British Indian ex-minister said he is the candidate to unleash the kind of Thatcherite post-war reforms needed to tackle the economic crisis and soaring inflation in the wake of the pandemic and conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“My values are Thatcherite. I believe in hard work, family and integrity. I am a Thatcherite, I work like a Thatcherite and I will rule like a Thatcherite,” he wrote in The Daily Telegraph.
“I believe in national sovereignty. Strong borders – tight control of both legal and illegal immigration. The primacy of economic growth. That this can only be achieved on a foundation of low inflation and sound public finances. And the best way to achieve economic growth is reducing taxes and bureaucracy, and boosting private sector investment and innovation. I believe crime is an evil that we tolerate far too much,” he said.
The finalist in the race to replace Boris Johnson as Tory leader, who will face Secretary of State Liz Truss in the final leg of the contest to win over members of the Conservative Party, said he knows how to get results can achieve in government and achieve results.
And if I had the privilege of becoming Prime Minister, I would implement a series of reforms as radical as those Margaret Thatcher went through in the 1980s to unleash growth and prosperity in every corner of the UK. implement a 21st century series of Thatcherite reforms, all the evidence shows I am the best candidate to win the next election,” he said.
He added that, as in 1940 and 1979, the UK needs the Conservative Party “now more than ever”.
“I will implement the radical series of Thatcherite reforms that will unleash growth and strengthen our society and culture. I am the candidate who will implement these reforms. And I am the candidate who will protect them and protect our country from Labor through the next elections to be won,” he concludes.
