Meanwhile, in the UK.... (British politics thread)

She's completely insane. Even by conservative standards.

I like the barking patrol dogs deterring drones.
The reality is that a large portion of politics, especially for females, is looks (ask AOC or the other female politicians who appear here)
I don't know what the other female contenders look like, but I'd say Truss looks pretty good as the face of British Politics.
Of course there is.

That doesn’t get you elected though.
All she needs to do is make it a full 4 years and she'll have beat out the 2 previous PMs. To be fair, it's not like other countries' leaders are faring much better.

Even though Boris Johnson's tits are bigger Liz's are definitely nicer quality with less hair on them.
One thing you got to hand it to the Brits, the election was one of the most diverse in the world, especially among 1st world democracies.
Granted, it was only for the party leadership (not a general election) and a white woman still won, you have 8 candidates among whom 4 were racialized people, and 4 were women. Those are stats that even "multicultural" nations like Canada, or "Big tent" parties like the US Dems can't even match.

She really took you up on your words, and instantly sank the pound with a bill to, well, of course, they need the money!, lighten up the burden on the wealthy
And here she is today, trying to rebrand it
It does seem a little unfair given that she was doing everything she said she would do. Unless I'm missing something, I don't think there were any surprises (?), so for her own party to fault her for that makes me feel for her. It's pretty different from a politician doing nothing they promised.

Tiger Woods' *** just read the story...
One of the things that sank her was the insistence of tax cuts for the rich. While that might get you a war chest, I think you'll get more votes with tax cuts for the middle/lower incomes - so if you're a politician with a hard-on for cutting taxes, I'd say you should be focusing on that.

I think he already is as rotten as a lettuce that spent ten years in the shade... But the Tories made sure at least this one looks totally streamlined and professional, though they went over the top and he is so slick I bet no scandal will stick
