Conservative Party
The Conservative Party was founded in 1834 by Robert Peel and has been in power for 12 years. Current Conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced she will stand aside after 45 days in the top job, making her the shortest reigning PM in history. Rishi Sunak is now Prime Minister and Tory leader after fellow candidate Penny Mordaunt withdrew from the race.
