She ruined the country within 24 hours and now she has been forced to resign. This is what happens when you elect a populist conservative who is not smart enough to do the job. Same situation happening in Alberta.

Good video on what happened

Nobody wants that job given the current shit state of things in the UK. You must be a real nutter to even qualify. They need a general election asap but I don’t think the Tories would let that happen

They should have voted for Sunak, I don't know how Truss was called the favourite and won when Sunak was winning all the preliminary votes by a landslide prior to the main event

Wow a lot of deplorable women being elected into power recently. Lizz Truss, Danielle Smith in AB, that fascist woman in Italy.

Is this what the feminists wanted? Equal opportunity fuckups?

It's not that they are all women it's that they are right wing populists. PP is just as bad.

I believe that was fake, please check source.

On the topic of Lizz Truss ... it would make total sense to me to go to the person with the 2nd highest votes in the last leadership race (Sunak) given the short term of Truss. But of course, there is no bylaw or provision for that so ... they'll have to do another leadership race wasting time and money, where Boris gets to put his cards in ... what a effin joke the UK has become.

poor woman.

"Despite making history and spending only 45 days in the job before resigning, Liz Truss is set to be offered the same package all former residents of No 10 have received.

But what are the perks she could get?

Public allowance
All former prime ministers are able to claim the Public Duty Costs Allowance (PDCA), currently set at a maximum of £115,000 per year."

If max is £115,000 per year, maybe there is a formula ... like if you only were on the job for 45 days, you get £10,000 /yr ... hopefully, someone would have thought this through and have some sort of common sense.

is this like a canary in the coal mine for western democracies or something? Thanks to idiots like Trump, Boris, and now stupid Lizz, it really erodes people's faith in a working democratic government.

Italians already gave up and elected this right wing crazy lady. Putin is basically a Czar from the old days. How soon before other nutbags step up and become "elected" into power? lets not forget Hitler was also "elected".

I give Trudeau a lot of shit, but ill take him over any of these fucktards.

When upward mobility keeps shrinking, quality of life stop improving (and gets worse in some cases), and the sense of "we're in it together" weakens then the Conservative (rich people) narrative of "Gov't is the problem" ends up taking hold for working and middle class voters and we get these kinds of leaders.

Pitting people against each other has always been the classic playbook of the rich and powerful and it's working as well as it has in a century.

Add in that it really sucks to be a politician nowadays and no wonder so few people see it as a noble career choice to make.

I hope Canadian voters will keep this in mind when the next federal election comes some time within the next 2 years. Alberta's Danielle Smith is already a step in exactly that direction, and Poilievre is an even bigger step in that same direction and at the larger national stage. FailFish

Well, didn't think I'd eat my words so soon. I guess it was bloody likely.

Let the Sunak-ssance begin!

And yes, while we've modeled our system of government on theirs, we've tweaked it somewhat and the Canadian PM's control of caucus is much stronger and pretty much discounts any of the parliamentary shenanigans in the UK from happening here.
