On Britain

It is very easy to make memes. It is very hard to read. 

If Rishi Sunak is today the Prime Minister of Britain, the credit also goes to the average Briton who chose him. As the UK economy struggles (along with many other European economies), we have to understand that this is a country we are talking about. Real people. 

Even understanding this situation will take days of reading - just to answer the question - How did we get here? - will take days. Then, we need to give the leadership our patience. No matter how genius he is, he will not be able to turn the economy around in a few weeks. It is time to stop the sops and take long term policy measures. Those will take a few months to show results, and there are no easy answers. 

Will it work? It has to. Primarily because I trust Britain's ability to come out on top. This is a resilient society. A good leader, with a long term perspective and the ability to execute well, will transform the current challenge into a winning event.
