Description

So far, every single British Prime Minister has been a white Briton -- Boris Johnson, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, even Benjamin Disraeli technically, and so on all the way back to Sir Robert Walpole. The current race for PM has two nonwhite candidates, Rishi Sunak and Kemi Badenoch. Will one of them be the first non-white Prime Minister of Britain?!

Decision Logic

YES will be the winner if either Rishi Sunak or Kemi Badenoch is chosen as Prime MInister.
.
NO will be the winner if any other of the three candidates, Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat, or Penny Mordaunt, is chosen as Prime Minister.

Looks like I don't get to mark it resolved yet, that'll happen in about another day. Note that the bet made on August 11 was never funded, so if it doesn't get removed automatically by the system, we may have to wait for manual intervention by staff.

Minor update, of the five original candidates, the final two are now Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, so this bet can still go either way. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-60037657
