Liz Truss's successor might believe that they can pull off a miracle and obtain their own mandate. Sort of like how Boris Johnson called an early election right after he became prime minister, so that he could secure his own mandate for his Brexit plans. | ||

The other issue is they have to make sure they're able to get legislation through parliament. Obviously their huge majority helps, but the divisions within the party are absolutely massive right now. Everyone currently in power is going to be close to losing their jobs, and the new guys are going to have to tread an extremely fine line to keep everyone happy. | ||

That was quick. Who wants to go through the gauntlet of being the next PM in line to be axed though? | ||

History will remember that the tories did in fact manage to fact someone more incompetent than Boris Johnson after all. You think its painful for you? You should see how mortgage holders and people with sizeable pensions feel about it. | ||

I mean, sure, it is really hard to do worse than the tories. But isn't labour also partially broken atm? And other parties basically don't exist due to FPTP? | ||

It is done. I am not sure if Truss will hold the world record for fastest PM to resign, but she surely speed run this. | ||
