India's economy was larger than britain's, and the British were not willing to lose their way to elect a new Iron Lady
The latest data show that india's GDP in the first quarter of 2022 was 854.7 billion US dollars, the United Kingdom was 816 billion US dollars, and the size of the Indian economy exceeded that of the United Kingdom for the first time. According to IMF data, 2022 will be the first year in which India's economy surpasses that of the United Kingdom, and India will become the world's fifth-largest economy after the United States, China, Japan and Germany.
With India's huge population base and young labor dividend, the Indian economy has entered the fast lane, and the United Kingdom will be completely left behind by India from then on, and the trend of the decline of the empire is already doomed.
As a British who once colonized India, imagine what kind of mentality you would have. They were obviously unwilling and had difficulty accepting that the economic scale of the once-great Britain Empire had been surpassed by the economy of the former colonial countries.
It is this mentality and thinking that india's economy is more than the size of the British, and the British just elected a new prime minister a few days ago, and the British conservatives elected Theras, who is white, instead of choosing another candidate of Indian origin, Sunak. The British chose a tough, sharp-tongued woman as prime minister, and British politicians fantasized about their new "Iron Lady" as prime minister.
The New Iron Lady is powerless to save Britain from its decline, and the home of the Empire is the Vassal of the United States
The British considered themselves to be the Chosen Iron Lady, but this Iron Lady was not the Iron Lady. Although Terrass was a big believer in Thatcher and strongly promoted the idea of the Iron Lady, the context of the times in which Britain is now located is not the same as the current situation.
First of all, from the background of the current world pattern era, the size of the British economy has fallen to the world's sixth largest economy, which is about one-seventh of the United States and about one-sixth of China. Britain is also separated from the European Union, seemingly hoping to establish the image of the empire that never sets, but in fact it does not see the general trend of the world.
Second, the size of India's economy exceeds that of the United Kingdom, the influence of Britain's voice in the world has further declined, india's economic rise as a colonized country will completely break away from the colonial label from the national mentality, and India's complete realization of its independent decision-making will not be affected. This can be seen in the reaction to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, britain tried to exert influence on India, asking India to join the team of sanctions against Russia, but India not only refused, but also further strengthened cooperation with Russia in energy, food and military.
Third, the UK is currently facing a mess that may be more difficult than Previous Terms of Terrass. Inflation in the UK now exceeds 10%, the highest in the developed west. The energy crisis and rising gas prices caused by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have made the British people miserable. Because of its tough antagonistic relationship with Russia, it is unlikely that Britain will have access to Russia's energy supply. If the coming winter does not wake up the British, then Britain has only one destination, that is, to be a complete vassal of the United States and become a nail in the United States in Europe.
