Can Rishi Sunak survive the wrath of the right?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The second group is also on the right - those who would describe themselves as "free marketeers" or "Thatcherites", even as they favour increasing trade barriers with our largest market or abandoning the fiscal conservatism that characterised Margaret Thatcher's governments.
53% : Sunak can argue that his willingness to raise taxes to their highest level since the Second World War - an unpopular move with many of his parliamentary colleagues - was essential in calming the markets.
51% : In normal circumstances - when placating the markets is not so much of a priority, when there is time for MPs to coalesce around an alternative candidate, when the membership gets a say - a candidate such as Sunak (even with his support for Brexit and Thatcherite economic instincts) would surely struggle to win.
