Clever line.A woman so dense, light curves round her.
I would argue yes. The whole cabinet is a disaster and this is noted across party lines. It's so bad that many Tory voters who didn't particularly like Johnson would still rather have Johnson than anyone else on offer.Am I wrong in understanding that even Tory supporters are not all that enthusiastic about her election?
I think we need to caveat this by saying that this only happens when a PM stands down halfway through his term and the party in power still has their mandate to rule, as far as the law sees it. They elect a new leader from the same party.
That could be read 2 ways.At least Britain has female PMs.
YesThe people who moan that it is "undemocratic" that we don't vote for PM are basically asking for a presidential system as we never vote for the PM.
The same people will moan about how "embarrassing" it is that the PM is an idiot, yet seem to want to give them more power as a directly elected figure in a presidential system.
The same people will moan that it is so undemocratic that we can't get rid of the PM when he lies about everything like Boris, while also moaning that it is undemocratic when they are replaced, and that it's undemocratic to have a parliamentary system where it is easier to replace them, and that they should be directly elected and thus harder to replace (like Trump).

What certainly is undemocratic, is a first-past-the-post electoral system which delivers an 80 seat majority to a party which won 44% of the popular vote. And that’s as true whichever of the two main parties is the beneficiary.
Another ******* ****.
I guess that Britain is okay with conservative leaders but they can't deal with those uppity liberal ones.A cross between Thatcher and Johnson who is purported to have said:
"I want people to buy British because it's the tastiest food and the most exciting food."What could possibly go wrong with such an insightful leader at the helm?
Whilst I can see where you are coming from, I disagree.The people who moan that it is "undemocratic" that we don't vote for PM are basically asking for a presidential system as we never vote for the PM.

At the last General election, you had a choice Johnson or Corbyn; prior to that May or Corbyn, prior to that IIRC Milliband or Cameron. - so you did know who would be PM if that side won.
Not so with Truss, Brown, etc.

Well, Truss is much worse than Johnson. Basically we are being run by Steve Baker's secretive ERG gang of retrobates, Truss is his new puppetThen you want a presidential system, not a parliamentary one.
Under this you get a full term of Boris. Careful what you wish for
Not this Brit, only 43.8% voted for this governmentI guess that Britain is okay with conservative leaders but they can't deal with those uppity liberal ones.
I did see a quick video clip of your new PM, at least I think it was her. My only thought was "Hmm, nice popo". A vast improvement over Boris.Not this Brit, only 43.8% voted for this government
