LONDON -

British Prime Minister Liz Terrace has put herself in the unenviable position;

After she confirmed in more than one press interview at the start of the annual conference of the Conservative Party last Sunday that she would not back down from her tax plan presented in the "mini-budget", she returned to announce on Monday morning the withdrawal of tax exemptions for the rich in the country.

The Truss acknowledged the mistake in its controversial mini-budget presentation, which led to a historic collapse in the value of the pound, but this admission did not mitigate public anger over the policies of the Conservative Party.

The British expressed this anger by demonstrating in front of the Conservative Party conference headquarters in Birmingham, to the extent that Energy and Trade Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg had to call the police to reach the conference headquarters after it was surrounded by protesters.

The Conservatives meet this year in exceptional, even fateful, circumstances that will determine the future of their rule of Britain, which lasted for more than 12 years.

Rebellion in the face of Terrace

British Prime Minister Liz Truss has remained true to her political line of taking positions and then backing away. After days of defending her plan to give the wealthy class tax breaks, she came back to admit that she had made a mistake in the way the new financial plan was presented, and she backtracked on the decision to cut income tax for the rich.

Terrace is facing a state of rebellion among the parliamentarians from her party who reject her economic plan and its consequences, and dozens of them are expected to hold a conference to express their opposition to the government's economic plans.

One of the most vocal critics of Liz Truss' plan was Michael Cove, who is a leader of the Conservative Party and has previously held a number of ministerial positions.

He openly declared that he would vote against the "mini-budget" proposed by the Terrace, adding that the government had made the wrong decision when it decided to give tax breaks to the rich at a time when millions of the country were suffering.

On the other hand, a storm of criticism rained down on the new prime minister because she announced the retreat from her economic plan, as a number of her supporters and those close to her considered this retreat an "insult to her and her government", and would increase the mistrust in her, especially since Terrace retreated from other positions during her campaign to reach Prime minister.


Division and early elections

It was remarkable the absence of former Treasury Secretary Rishi Sunak from the work of the Conservative Party, who became one of the prominent faces in the party and was close to reaching his leadership, in addition to a number of party deputies, in protest against the policies of the Liz Terrace government.

The absence of Sunak and his fellow parliamentarians shows the extent of the split in the Conservative Party, which Liz Truss threatens to revolt against if she does not succeed in reassuring her parliamentary bloc that it is able to exit this economic crisis.

On the other hand, former Culture Minister Nadine Dorries announced her support for the country to go towards early general elections, similar to 2019, which gave the Conservative Party an absolute majority at the time.

The controversial minister justifies her view that the Conservative Party's 2019 election manifesto has not been implemented in large parts due to the significant turmoil in the British government over the past months, and that Liz Truss does not have to remain constrained by plans laid out by Boris Johnson.

But the early elections raise a lot of reservations among the Conservative Party, especially since the party is not going through its best days in the face of growing public anger over the performance of successive governments.

What increases pressure on the Conservative Party is the great success of the Labor Party conference held two weeks ago, from which the party emerged stronger and more united and with a clear program to deal with the country's crises in the event of early elections.

Popular in rock bottom

All opinion polls agree that holding any premature elections will give the Labor Party the lead, although the percentages differ in that, but the numbers show a growing amount of anger against this party and its policies.

A U-Poll poll for Britain's Times newspaper showed the Conservatives trailing Labor by 9 points, figures similar to those that prompted former Prime Minister Theresa May to resign and call a premature election.

And recently, several opinion polls gave precedence to the Labor Party, the last of which was with the beginning of the Conservative Party conference, and showed that the Labor Party will lead the upcoming elections by 23 points, which is the largest difference achieved by this party since 2010 when David Cameron became prime minister.

The Conservative Conference is the last opportunity for the party as a whole and for Liz President personally to emerge as its new leader or as the "Iron Lady" in it. Otherwise, the alternative is the countdown to announcing premature elections.
