Reply to comment by N8CCRG in Penny Mordaunt pulls out of Tory leadership race, paving way for Rishi Sunak to become next PM | Politics News by FutureNytro

He potentially serves as an end to the chaos the UK has seen in recent weeks, since he predicted it would happen while running against Liz Truss in the prior leadership campaign.

But it remains to be seen if the Conservative Party is in any way governable any more, particularly since he will have to announce a series of unpopular measures next week to close the budget black hole caused by his predecessor's mini budget sending the cost of government borrowing through the roof

He won't end the chaos at all. He'd have a chance to do so if the underlying problems were the result of the character or personality of Tory leadership, but they aren't. They're the result of Tory policy. Sunak's policy will be indistinguishable from BoJo or Truss (or the myriad of clowns, liars, and grifters who preceded them).
