Rishi Sunak needs to rally his flagging Conservatives. He hopes a dash of populism will do the trick

Published:

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak heads to the governing Conservative Party´s annual conference facing a triple challenge: Cheer up a party that´s trailing in opinion polls, sideline rivals who are eyeing his job and persuade the voting public that a party in power for 13 years deserves another term in office.
 
"Public services are crumbling, the economy's not responding and (the Conservatives) haven't met some of the pledges they've made, so you'd expect them to be pretty downhearted," said Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London.
