As Prime Minister, one of Rishi Sunak’s most arduous challenges was to unite a divided party while trying to implement his own policies. The weekly theatre of Prime Minister's Questions provides an insight into how Rishi Sunak sought to meet this political challenge. PMQs are an efficient tool to promote one’s policies and ideology in so far as it is one of the most watched and attended parliamentary events of the week. The “uneasy” questions (even attacks) from the Opposition and more importantly those from the Conservative backbenchers provide a more nuanced version of the PM’s achievements and ideological principles. This presentation aims to highlight Rishi Sunak’s doctrinal orientation through the qualitative study of some specific rhetorical effects like the use of “mantras” (repeated phrases) in his speeches at the dispatch box. This methodological approach sheds light on Rishi Sunak's brand of conservatism, tracing its roots to a lexical and semantic genealogical relationship with his predecessors’ rhetorical techniques and to the dynamics within the Conservative Party.
