It makes sense to elect someone with an economic background to manage the worst economic period in recent years.

Hope he does well, for the UK's sake.

He wasn't chosen by the people, he was installed by his friends at the WEF

दो सौ साल (भारत ने)गुलामी झेली,
झेलें जुल्मों सितम,
पासा किस्मत का पलटा है,
राजा (भारतीय राजा बना है)हुए है हम

we have not chosen sunak as PM and we will never accept him as PM. He wasnt chosen by true conservatives, the people didnt vote for him, i didnt vote for him and never would vote for him. we in Britain want a general election. and who is this guy to say we should be proud to have an asian PM he has no idea how much this guy is hated by true British people

In the UK, the first non-White PM is from the Conservative, the first with some non-european ancestry was from the Conservative, and all 3 women PM's were from the conservative. Meanwhile Labor has always been led by White Men. I find this very interesting. Also considering Nikki Haley is a front runner for the GOP in 2024, if she wins (Or Kamala challenges Biden and wins. Especially a Harris v. Haley race) we could have the US and UK run by people of indian ancestry.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Another fine example.

The irony of it all Great Britain used to rule India but now an Indian is ruling Great Britain

[rajendrapatil]

भारत पर राज करणेवाले ब्रिटन को आर्थिक बदहालिसे बचानेकेलिए आखिर एक भारतीय ही "सर ऋषी सुनक" ही आगे आए, इससे दुनिया को सबक लेना चाहिए!
