What do you think about Prime Minister Liz Truss resigning after just 44 days in office?

I don’t really think about it. The ability to casually replace your PM anytime their polls dip a little is something that mystifies me as someone not living in a Parliamentary system. Like…how do you get any kind of momentum or continuity going when you can be replaced after 44 days? Doesn’t it just make you a slave to the polls? Doing the right thing in politics often means doing the unpopular thing. Raising taxes. Decreasing spending. How does someone who can’t even rely on being in office for two months have the confidence to do ANYTHING except bread and circuses?

It was funny that they picked someone even less capable than Johnson, and even funnier that she resigned so soon.

She wanted to push through a deranged far-right economic agenda, but had no political capital to do so. Thatcher at least had the good sense to win a minor war and consequently win in a landslide before fucking the country over for the rest of the decade.

Truss wanted to be more extreme than Thatcher, but without a public mandate, her party far behind in the polls, and with a lot of scepticism from her own backbenches—all in the first couple of weeks!

Even funnier is that Johnson is likely going to stand for the leadership again, and has some chance of returning as the PM again.

Digging up Margaret Thatcher was never a good idea.

Even for Halloween.

She should never have been voted in in the first place. She had crackpot ideas like funding tax cuts through yet more borrowing which spooked the markets and caused the pound to slide. It is worth noting that the British public didn’t vote for her to be Prime Minister, only members of the Conservative Party had that privilege, and it is they who will vote for her successor. It will give some idea of their confusion and ineptitude that the recently sacked Boris Johnson, who was replaced by Truss, is now a front contender to replace her.

Serves the Brits right for electing an ideological idiot.

Britian made a huge mistake with Brexit, and they keep going down hill from there. Let ‘em suffer the results of their stupid conservative leadership.

What an embarassing clown show.
Since they had the Brexit vote, each new clown they voted in was more incompetent than the other. Cameron, May, Boris, then Truss.
And now one of the prime canditates to replace her is Boris Johnson again.
It is like choosing to shove a big fat turd back inside your arse.

Something fishy about that. But I’m not in the UK, we have problems enough of our own with David Koresh, uh, I mean Jim Jones, uh, I mean Donny Trump.
