Page 1 of Liz Truss PM
General Forum
The least surprising news has been announced that it's Liz Truss is now our PM.
A new thread for a new era. Let's just hope she was *pretending* to be a far-right imbecile...
Interesting stat:
Truss got 47% of eligible votes from Tory members. That's below the threshold that Tory ministers set for union members to vote for strike action.

It was 57% but your point stands regards it not being exactly a resounding victory.
The rats are already going.
Priti Poisonous has resigned, by sending the letter to Johnson before he's gone.

She got 57% of those who voted, but 47% of all Tory members eligible to vote. Obviously not everyone eligible to vote actually voted (80 odd percent turnout). And the point is that 50% of all eligible to vote for strike action will have to vote for it - not just 50% of votes actually cast.
Patel has resigned but is likely to be replaced by the (at least) equally bad Suella Braverman.

I stand corrected.

Priti didn't understand the law, Suella doesn't understand the law, might just be a straight swap.
