“She was never competent”: the British will not regret Liz Truss

If Liz Truss announced her resignation after only 44 days in power, the British do not already seem to regret it. A “disaster” for some, a destroyer of the economy for others: the people of the UK deplore the situation in which Liz Truss left the United Kingdom.

Liz Truss made a whirlwind stop at 10 Downing Street. After 44 days in office, the Prime Minister announced her resignation. A record for the shortest term, which nevertheless surprised the British, quite prepared for this departure. Most won’t miss Liz Truss. “In a way, it’s a good thing, she destroyed the economy, she really did anything,” said a Briton at the microphone of Europe 1. “The Conservative Party is torn apart, so I I feel like something good is going to come out of this.”

“She should never have been elected”

Others see the sign of a weakening of the Conservative Party which must leave its place at the head of the country. “We must have a general election now, because the members of the Conservative Party have proven in recent months and years that they are incapable of getting along and running the country in a stable way.” For this Londoner, “Liz Truss was never competent, she should never have been elected”. In just over a month, the Prime Minister has built up record unpopularity, and has alienated many citizens. “She has cost us billions because of her faults and her failures”, continues this Londoner at the microphone of Europe 1. “It’s a disaster.”

Difficult for the population to predict the future of their countries over time: “We are in a terrible situation and it is difficult to see how we will get out of it, whoever the person in government is. It will be a period hard.” The election of the next Prime Minister will be held by October 28, the Conservative Party has announced. Only three candidates at most will be able to compete for the succession of Liz Truss.
