Kemi Badenoch is the first black woman to lead the Tories in Great Britain. And that’s not even the most unusual thing about her.
The Tories have voted. Once again. Over the past eight years they have done so with increasing regularity, on average every two years. The event has essentially become a new tradition in the kingdom, like Halloween or the British version of it, “Guy Fawkes’ Night,” where every year a replica of a politician is burned on a large pyre. Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak met their ends in this way in previous years, even if only as straw men and women.
The new one is called Kemi Badenoch. She is a woman of Nigerian descent – and the self-proclaimed opposite of a wallflower. On Saturday she was named the new Tory party leader.
