Beidenoch promises to tell the truth and stand up for principles

Cammy Beidenock, who is twenty-four, who represents the right wing of the party, has been elected to win the leadership of the British Tories.

Her election is historic, as none of the major British parties has been led by a black woman until now. Beidenock has replaced the former prime minister Rishi Sunak as leader of the Tories, and under the leadership of the Tories who suffered the worst election loss in almost two hundred years this summer.

Right-wing candidates are the most popular

The party’s leadership elections have shown that conservative members expect more policies from the right. Although there were six politicians in total voting for the Tory leadership post, the middle-ground candidates were eliminated before the final round, which pitted Beidenock against Robert Jenrick, who is also ‘representing the right side of the party. Beidenock, who has held several positions in several Tory governments, received 53,806 votes in the last round of the election, while former immigration minister Jenrick received 41,388 votes.

The 14-week campaign for the party leader has been dominated by debates about immigration, the state of the country’s economy and the Tories’ efforts to regain the trust of voters.

Beidenock will take over the Tory leadership at a time when the party is weakened and divided after the election loss. In the elections in 2019, the Conservatives won 365 seats out of 650, and in July this year – 121 seats, after 14 years in government they became the opposition. After winning the Tory leadership election, Beidenock, who became the sixth Tory leader in the past nine years, called on party members to be open. “Our party is critical to the success of our country, but to be heard, we have to be honest — honest that we’ve made mistakes, honest that we’ve lowered standards,” Beidenock said. time to tell the truth” and “stand up for our principles”, stressed the new leader of the party.

Beidenok did not reveal a detailed program during the campaign, according to the BBC. However, she reminded that in the years to come, the Conservatives may be at odds with each other, which will provide opportunities to develop plans at the time they can be implemented. The next parliamentary elections will be held in 2029 at the latest. In announcing her candidacy, Beidenock criticized the Tories for being too centrist and called on party members to “stop copying Labour”. One of the problems of the Conservatives is that “we speak from the right, but we govern from the left”, said Beidenok.

She proposed a smaller role for the state in the economy, lower taxes, support for the free market and freedom of speech.

With the shift to the right, the Tories hope to win back those voters who voted for Nigel Farage’s “UK Reform” party in the general election. The Tories under the leadership of Beidenock still need to keep the middle voters as well.

Speaks straight language

Beidenoch was born in London to a Nigerian family, but spent his childhood in Nigeria. She explains that the time she spent in this African country and the problems she experienced there influenced her political views. “I grew up in a place where there was no electricity, where there was often a lack of fuel, even though the country was getting oil,” Beidenock said recently in an interview with the BBC. I don’t take what we have in this country for granted,” said the politician. Beidenock worked in the information technology and finance sectors before entering politics. In 2017, she was elected to parliament, but later held several positions in Tory governments, responsible for business and trade issues, as well as promoting women’s rights issues.

Beidenok emphasizes that he is not shy from speaking straight language, which has put him in a difficult position again during the campaign.

Beidenoka has said the childcare allowance is “excessive”, and that the minimum wage is “harming business”.

She also had to make amends for her joke that 10% of Britain’s civil servants do their jobs so badly they “should be in jail”. What she said on the issue of immigration has also attracted attention. “If elected, I will produce the most comprehensive and detailed plan to limit immigration ever put forward by any political party,” she promised in the Telegraph in September. Beidenock stressed the need for immigrants to integrate and embrace British values. ,” said the Tory politician. “We must not be naive and think that immigrants will automatically give up their ethnic hatred at the border, or that all cultures are equally acceptable. No,” said Beidenock. It was what she said about the differences between different “cultures” that caused the most discussions. Beidenock also expressed that “many immigrants to the UK since short hating Israel”.

Beidenock has made no effort to emphasize that she is the first black woman to lead a major British party.

“I want the color of our skin to be less important than the color of our hair and the color of our eyes,”

previously expressed by a conservative politician. It should be noted that Beidenock is the fourth woman in the position of leader of the British Conservatives, and that Labor is only led by men. Current Labor leader and Prime Minister Keir Starmer congratulated Beidenock on her victory and stressed that “the first black female leader of Westminster marks a proud moment for our country”. He also expressed hope for cooperation with the Tories and their new leader “for the benefit of the British people”.
