There have been seldom more turbulent times in the history of UK politics, with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last month combining with the turbulent tenure of Liz Truss as Prime Minister.
Whilst onlookers inevitably pour scorn over the Conservative Party as whole, who are still leading without a mandate, in the midst of a Brexit disaster, the reality of the situation is that the UK are financially in the worst place they have been for generations.
Testing the relative weight of the pound against other currencies is often the watermark for analysts and with the likes of the dollar and the euro far out performing the once untouchable British pound, the UK’s status as a global superpower is really being brought under scrutiny.
Much of the trouble Truss had during her record breakingly short stay at 10 Downing Street surrounded her decisions in a fragile economic market, decisions that would ultimately deprive her of her job.
As she shuffles off onto the back benches, much to the amusement of members of the opposition, the Conservative members have once again clubbed together to put forward who they believe to be the best person for the job.
Rishi Sunak was deemed to be playing second fiddle to Truss when the previous Conservative leader votes were made back in September but he is now the last bastion of hope for most Tory voters.
Regardless of public opinion on Sunak and his relationship with the highly controversial previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his expertise certainly lies within the economic fabric of the UK – an element of society that needs development.
Technological innovation was a key investment point for Sunak in his previous role as Chancellor of the Exchequer and having been given full rein, he could indeed seek to build a stronger economic future in the UK through tech innovations.
Video editing software by movavi or Blender in the UK have seen some of the biggest booms in recent years, with medical, educational, gaming and sporting industries just four of the many sectors that have become heavily reliant on the versatility served up within the video editing marketplace.
Part of what Sunak will surely look to do is improve relations with fellow global superpowers such as USA, Canada and Europe and they too have all bought in heavily to the video editing industry.
Huge tech innovators such as Apple and Google are looking for ways into the UK video editing market and whilst it is a tough market to penetrate, the biggest tech companies on the planet historically have the means to break down the barriers.
Apple offers a video editing tool called Final Cut Pro, which currently leads the way with UK consumers but with plenty of final cut pro windows alternatives, there is something for everyone in the UK within the video tech market.
Sunak’s approach to politics has often been optimistic and he will be looking to cash in on the opportunities presented to the UK by the video tech market.
