Liz Truss, who won the Conservative Party leadership election a few days ago, went to Balmoral in Scotland to meet the Queen on September 6 and was officially appointed to form the cabinet, becoming the third female British Prime Minister in history.
With the new prime minister taking office, people should look forward to the current economic crisis in the UK, especially Zhuohuisi's plan to deal with the energy price crisis, which is expected to be announced on the 8th and is rumored to be as high as 100 billion pounds.
However, because Boris Johnson came to power almost as an unofficial heir to power, polls last month showed that party members chose Johnson 63% to 22% between Johnson and Boris Johnson. Political players who have just left 10 Downing Street seem likely to be on stage again.
In his parting speech before resigning to the Queen on the 6th, Johnson expressed his full support for Zhuohuisi, calling on party members to put aside politics and unite under the leadership of Zhuohuisi to bring policy results to the British.
Although he was obviously dissatisfied with the "halfway" of his term of office, saying that "the rules were changed" in the middle of the Prime Minister's race and "unexpectedly turned into a relay race", like his speech announcing his resignation, he did not awaken his own political and ethical flaws. However, he quoted the allusions of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a Roman patriarch in the 5th century BC, claiming that he was about to "return to his plough", with the artistic conception of returning to the garden.
However, Johnson's remarks, who read classical literature, have a different meaning.
Cincinnatus, just like Johnson's "order in the face of danger" in the face of the dilemma of the Brexit negotiations, was first invited out of the fields to lead the army to defeat the Roman invaders, and then "returned to his plow" again.
Interestingly, after "returning to his plow", Rome was in crisis again, and Cincinnatus put down the plow again and became the leader of Rome, for the "second dictatorship" of Cincinnatus.
If we look at this script, after the end of Johnson's first term as prime minister, should there also be a drama in power again?
(Interestingly, Johnson’s political hero Churchill—who himself wrote a best-selling biography of Churchill—also had a history of exile and then back into power.)
This will depend on Johnson's personal will and the development of the British situation.

Money over power?
On the one hand, it is rumored that Johnson, who often complains that the Prime Minister's salary of more than 160,000 pounds a year is not enough, does have many opportunities to make money if he decides to return to the field.
For one, Johnson could return to writing for a living.
In the past, the Daily Telegraph had paid £275,000 a year for Johnson to write a column every week, but now with the reputation of a "former prime minister", I am afraid the salary will rise or fall.
At the same time, he also had a book contract for a biography of Shakespeare, which is said to be worth about 500,000 pounds. Later, it was only put on hold after Johnson became the mayor of London because of his victory in the Brexit referendum. Now he can also take time. Finish.
At the same time, Johnson's memoir will also be another money-making tool. Some analysts say the book is worth at least seven figures (£), higher than the £800,000 of David Cameron's memoir.
In addition to writing, speaking fees will also be a potential source of income.
As dull as Theresa May, after leaving office in 2019, he has earned more than 2.5 million pounds through speeches (the total value of 9 speeches this year has exceeded 700,000), and Johnson, who is humorous and good at talking, believes that he can make money with a good tongue Full of pots.
Johnson has been paid more than £160,000 for two speeches in a month after he resigned as foreign minister.

Power over wealth?
On the other hand, many close to Johnson believe that Johnson, who is now clearly unwilling to kick him out of office by his party members, will never stop there.
Some even think Johnson will play the populist card and return to the DPRK, like former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
In fact, the political situation in the UK is also favorable for Johnson to wait for the opportunity to "make a comeback" as a backbencher.
First, the support of Zhuo Huisi's party members was lower than expected, and when she entered the final election, she was only supported by less than one-third of the members of the lower house of the party. Her position is actually extremely unstable.
Second, at a time of double-digit inflation, a recession expected to occur, industrial unrest in all walks of life, and unprecedented strain on NHS resources, Zhuohuisi could not bring forward parties with different interests and opinions. If there is an effective response that is generally acceptable to friends, grassroots party members and the general public, the Conservative Party will change its coach again.
Some analysts have pointed out that the main reason why Zhuohuisi's opponent and former finance minister Rishi Sunak is not expected to join Zhuohuisi's cabinet is to wait for Zhuohuisi's policy to fail and plan to make a comeback.
Johnson himself, and the "kingslayer" who is accused of directly causing Johnson's retirement, may have the same calculations.
Moreover, waiting for the opportunity as a backbencher, in addition to probably not being able to sign a contract to write a memoir (press: because the story is not finished), for Johnson, it will not affect his other ways of making money.

Zhuo Huisi's Difficult and Easy Strategies
Of course, Johnson's return is premised on his ability to retain his MP status, but that's not certain.
First, there is still a congressional investigation into its lying to Congress, which could eventually lead to Johnson losing his seat.
During the campaign, Zhuohuisi, who has the support of many Johnson allies, has said that he will vote to suspend the relevant investigation.
Secondly, if Johnson's own constituency is becoming less and less safe for the Conservative Party in the long run, he himself may be kicked out by voters in the next general election.
In the face of Johnson's "waiting to return to the field", and even his potential political propaganda among the backbenchers, former prime ministers and "jian pen" people, Zhuo Huisi may have two strategies to stabilize the position.
The victim is really launching a policy that can reverse the British economic recession, or encountering the hard-to-see good luck at the moment, so that she can save the UK from the fire and water before the 2024 general election, and the people hope to defeat the Labour Party, Make Zhuohuisi himself an unquestioned leader of the Conservative Party.

For those who change, it is a short-sighted strategy of losing small and winning. Taking advantage of the early days of taking office, they distributed money in large quantities, and when the British pockets were a little richer, they asked the Queen of England to dissolve the Parliament under the pretext that the Prime Minister's new policy needs to be re-authorized by public opinion. , Early elections, Yibo retains the majority in Congress.
While the move is unlikely to replicate the 80-seat majority in 2019, if the Conservative Party retains a parliamentary majority under Tracy, it will establish itself as the leader of the Conservative Party, allowing it to step out of Johnson's shadow.
Although Zhuo Huisi pointed out her wish to win the election in 2024 in her victory declaration, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not regret it after she encounters obstacles.
Zhuo Huisi, who is quite tedious in front of people, will probably lose a lot of laughter in British politics after he takes office.
If "Johnson" does have a sequel after Johnson leaves office, Britons can have some hope for the future of political entertainment, if not too much hope for Britain's future.
