Abstract

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing pressure from Conservative lawmakers to adopt more right-wing policies, including an immigration cap and withdrawal from the European Court of Human Rights, following the party's poor performance in local elections. Some party members are concerned about the rise of the populist Reform UK party and believe that Sunak needs to take a stronger stance on issues such as illegal immigration. However, there are differing opinions within the party, with some arguing that the Conservatives should seek the middle ground and focus on a moderate and inclusive message.
