Rishi Sunak on the brink of collapse in the shadow of the Tory split over the asylum bill
On the eve of the British Parliament's vote on the controversial Rwandan immigration bill, the ruling conservative party has been severely divided in this regard, so that the possibility of the plan's failure and the Prime Minister's political life being in danger has increased. |
According to the international group Tasnim news agency “Hamburger” newspaper Abend Blatt wrote in an article: The asylum policy of Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister, has severely divided the conservatives. For some conservatives, things are not going well enough in the shadow of these policies, and others warn against more strictness. Now the Prime Minister of Britain has been exposed to a historic bankruptcy in this situation.
29 and 57 are the numbers that Rishi Sunak should be afraid of. If 29 of his 350 Conservative MPs vote against his new asylum law in Parliament on Tuesday, or 57 abstain, the plan will fail – and possibly seal the political fate of the British prime minister.
Marc Garnett, a political scientist, told the German news agency about this: Sonak has to give in to the wishes of one side of his divided party, but this makes the other side angry. According to him, this party will probably topple Sunak, or the British Prime Minister will have to hold new elections earlier than expected. It is said: At the heart of the conservative “civil war”, as commentators call these conflicts, is the issue of cracking down on illegal immigrants who enter this country in small boats from across the English Channel. Sunak promises to stop these arrivals. The new law is intended as a deterrent: it foresees that asylum seekers who have immigrated illegally will be deported, regardless of their origin, without the possibility of returning to Rwanda. Invoking British human rights is expressly ruled out to ensure that those affected cannot sue in UK courts.
But for the right wing of the Conservative Party, this The controversial international plan does not go far enough. The draft SONAK plan declares Rwanda a safe third country, although the UK’s highest court has recently criticized constitutional deficits in the East African country.
In this Among the extremists, such as Suella Braverman, the former British Home Secretary, they want to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights so that the injured asylum seekers can no longer go to international courts.
This action In turn, it is a very extreme idea for the moderate section of the conservative party, which has about 100 members. If Britain blatantly ignores human rights and international courts, they fear for their reputations. If Sunak meets the right’s demands, the party’s left is likely to revolt. Therefore, the 43-year-old British Prime Minister is stuck between these fronts.
The Guardian newspaper recently wrote in an article: Sonak’s authority is in the hands of two warring Tori clans. Even if the bill passes as presented, the rift among conservatives will only be delayed and likely to flare up again later, said Garnett of Lancaster University.
However, the British Parliament is set to vote on a new asylum law today. But there is a difference of opinion among the prime minister’s conservatives. If this plan fails, Sunak may lose his responsibility.
Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister is fighting for his political future in this situation. Yesterday, he had to answer the questions of the Kovid investigation committee.
Today, the draft of Rwanda’s anti-immigration law will be voted on in the second reading in the evening in the lower house. If the bill doesn’t get enough votes, it will be a huge blow to Sunak – and the start of the government’s next crisis. It faces almost insurmountable odds: The bill is too radical for more moderate conservatives, but not enough for the right wing of the party. With Rwanda’s emergency law, the government is responding to a Supreme Court ruling that canceled the government’s deportation plans to Rwanda. From the point of view of the judges of this court, Rwanda is not a safe third country.
Now the MPs must declare Rwanda a safe third country based on the law that the UK can take illegal immigrant asylum seekers – Regardless of the origin and reasons for their escape – to expel it. As such, human rights must sometimes not be enforced so that those affected cannot sue in the UK courts.
However, the right wing of the Tory Party believes that This approach is not strict enough. The faction has scrutinized the draft legally and still sees loopholes. In addition, many right-wing conservatives want to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights so that asylum seekers cannot appeal against their deportation in the European Court of Human Rights.
This issue It is remarkable how much trouble the British Prime Minister has gotten himself into. Although Britain has problems that affect the population more than illegal immigration, Sunak has made this a priority.
As many Britons struggle with high living costs and rising interest rates, and healthcare waiting lists get longer and longer, the Prime Minister is focusing on an issue that is gaining traction. It is difficult and causes old wars. In this way, the fragmentation of the parties, which is still a familiar issue from the time of Brexit, is clearly evident again. If they vote against Rwanda’s emergency law in the House of Commons, this law will fail; Even if there are many abstentions. As a result, Sunak will lose a lot of authority and it will probably be a hard defeat and could mean his removal and early elections.
