The House of Commons is invested in finding the best way to support the economy and how to deal with the power grab of unions, ignoring the Falkland Islands crisis. Several Parliamentary members including Winston Churchill believed that the best way to support the British economy is to “increase interest value to decrease inflation.” Churchill fears that the UK is at risk of an economic depression. Churchill then questioned the prime minister about economic diversity, however, the Prime minister was unable to answer the question in full, leading to the question if the Prime Minister feels confident in their solutions to the economic crisis.
The Prime Minister is steering the committee into valuing workers’ rights whilst warning parliamentary members that unions don’t support human rights and that union bosses are motivated solely by greed and selfishness. A parliamentary member emphasizes that human rights are stifled by unions.
The House of Commons is working towards deregulations in the British economy to let economies function to the best of their ability without unions undermining the effort.
Furthermore, the conservative party has split into factions. Half of the party aimed solely at ousting Margaret Thatcher from her position as Prime Minister, despite being a strong member of the conservative party. This divide has caused confusion about the other branch of the conservative party whose goal is to support workers’ rights by restricting British unions.
The House of Commons is a tense, evolving situation that needs to be monitored closely as the split could cause emotions and a faction between the conservative party, leading to the labour party taking control of the House for the first time in years.
