The 'Rwanda' project will fail, along with Rishi Sunak's

Rishi Sunak's conservative government, now surely in its final months, is so fractured that it is difficult to justify its existence, much less talk of another term.

The Conservative Party has been in a state of non-stop internal warfare since Margaret Thatcher, with only a few periods of relative unity - mainly during the leadership of David Cameron - that have actually been more truces than a permanent end to hostilities. .

As has been very apparent in recent months, she actually represents 2 parties, and with very few exceptions, members of these factions despise each other even more than their political opponents in the left camp.

Today we find ourselves in a situation where the future of Great Britain will be decided by factional infighting within the ruling party. Many politicians are already preparing for a future in opposition, which ironically, is the only way most of them will be able to advance in their careers.

When well-known figures, with wide differences between them, such as Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Nigel Farage, are trying to win future party leadership positions, many rightly conclude that the political right has closed its next cycle in power, The Independent reports.

What we are currently seeing is not the way to run a party, let alone a country. Actually what happens is really a kind of tragedy. As in all civil wars, the conflict is long-term and spans many battlefields: over access to Europe, and above all over taxes; the size of state and public debt; and for now on the issue of migration.

The problem of the current leader is well known. It's the same problem John Major and Theresa May faced in their not so good years in government, and that of trying to lead an ungovernable party. Still, the Conservative Party has clearly lost its raison d'etre, which has served it so well in the past: to govern in the national interest.

Instead, it has abandoned discipline and placed personal ambition and factional advantage over staying in power as long as possible. The same is happening with the very controversial Rwanda project.

Sunak should blame himself for tying his political quotas to the impossible promise to "stop the migrant boats" - and insisting on a plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, which remains illegal under international conventions but is otherwise also impractical (and so modest that it cannot act as a deterrent).

Major divisions in his party, combined with widespread opposition in the House of Lords and future judicial action, will delay the implementation of the bill until the general election wipes it off the agenda. Clashing so bitterly with his own party, over a policy that will never be implemented, shows that Sunak is a quarrelsome and illogical leader.

Far-right factionalists say his latest attempt to revive the "Rwanda" project with a somewhat ludicrous bill declaring the world is not what it is - doesn't go far enough. They opposed the initiative in the most pompous and shameful way, criticizing the prime minister's motives and incompetence. Mrs. Braverman, increasingly depressed, has complained to her colleagues that she feels increasingly isolated from Sunak. Maybe it really is, but she's doing her best to make sure it happens. The same applies to Mr. Jenrick, once an ally of Sunak, but who today seems determined to take a place in the shadow cabinet of the future opposition.

Meanwhile, those in the left faction are more supportive, but still confusing. Their concern is that "non-enforcement" of domestic human rights law will itself violate international conventions. And as Major and May once discovered, the only way to survive such a crisis is to defend your causes, avoid alternative options and try to smooth out factions within the party as much as possible. For most of their time in office, both led minority governments.

Meanwhile, there is still a modest majority. He tried to calm the factions by telling them not to worry about what his law actually says because it could be changed later. Pressures and appeals for loyalty did their job on Tuesday. Under these conditions, the solution to the intractable problem has only been postponed for a second time. Given the parliamentary calendar, the crisis may not emerge until early in the new year.

However, one thing is certain: if the bill he has proposed for Rwanda ever passes, and if even a single refugee is deported as he claims, when the time comes for him to face the country in the election, Sunak will not be able to claim to have "stopped the boats". Because he is currently unable to stop Suella Braverman who is trying to initiate a move against him.
