I actually feel a bit sorry for Liz Truss.
Just a few weeks ago now, she found herself thrust into the role of UK Prime Minister, and ever since then she seems to be under assault from all sides, as she can’t seem to do or get anything right.
Let us recall for a moment exactly how she found herself in this position.
Following the resignation of Boris Johnson in July 2022, there was an election held within the Conservative party to vote for who would become the party leader, and thus the Prime Minister.
Party members were nominated by sitting Tory MPs, and of the nominated candidates, the MPs voted among themselves to whittle down the list to two choices, which were then put to a ballot of the wider Conservative party members.
The party membership (approximately 170,000 it is reckoned) were given the choice of Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss to vote for. Despite his popularity in the media, Sunak lost out and Truss won by an apparent comfortable majority.
So lets make this clear, Tory party MPs voted amongst themselves to give the wider party membership the choice between Sunak or Truss, and the wider party membership democratically elected Ms Truss to be the new party leader and thus Prime Minister as a consequence.
Well, I’ve known for some time that what passes for ‘democracy’ in this country is nothing more than a sham, and this leadership election raised my eyebrows when it seemed the media knew the outcome before the ballot papers had even been counted.
Anyway, it is almost galling to read about how Tory MPs are now already plotting to ‘oust’ Ms Truss after just a few weeks in the role of Prime Minister, considering how it was them who gave the party members her as a choice. It could be argued that Tory party members weren’t given much of a choice, however they voted and chose her to be the party leader. So it could also be seen as a ‘kick in the teeth’ to the “grass-roots” party members who pay their dues, and then have their chosen leader subjected to this mutiny being exhibited by their ‘elite’ MP members.
In all likelihood, Truss was probably never actually democratically ‘elected’ as party leader, she was chosen for her role in the next act of this never-ending pantomime which passes as ‘British Politics’. Hence why the media knew she was the winner.
People need to understand that it doesn’t really matter who the Prime Minister is, or who any Cabinet Minister is either. These people are just puppets, frontmen, actors, call them what you will. The ‘policies’ that they announce are not of their own making, or their own desires, they are determined by people in the shadows, the “advisors” etc, those people who obey and follow the agenda, and ensure that it is carried out according to their masters’ wishes.
It wasn’t Liz Truss’ idea to lower taxes and borrow billions to fund ‘energy price guarantees’, and neither was it her Chancellor Kwasi Karteng’s. On the surface, given the current climate (excuse the pun), it seemed like a ‘popular’ policy to win over people, the ordinary working-class people being affected by a ‘crisis’ totally engineered by the politicians and their ‘fake war’ with Russia.
The ‘big money’ people didn’t like this of course, and so markets ‘reacted’ and the value of the pound plummeted against the dollar, and the Bank Of England rushed to put up interest rates.
Kwasi Karteng found himself ‘thrown under the bus’ and was removed as Chancellor Of The Exchequer and replaced by Jeremy Hunt, and some of the new ‘policies’ are being rolled back, in what the media are terming a ‘u-turn’.
Of course, this is great news for the Labour party, because it just means that in the likelihood of a general election being called, they will likely just sweep into power with a crushing majority, due to ‘voter disatisfaction’ with the Tories.
And this is a Labour party that doesn’t really have many meaningful ‘policies’ of their own, or any kind of ‘alternative plan’ – they could promise or ‘pledge’ to kill every second born kitten, and they’d still get peoples’ votes because “Tories bad”.
But in truth, nothing would change. Labour would ‘sweep into power’ offering people “the change we badly need” but the same agenda would still plod on regardless, and things would continue to get worse.
Same script, different actors. The incoming party of government just blames the previous one for their own failings, and the cycle just continues.
As I have written previously, it doesn’t matter whether Conservatives or Labour make up the ruling Government, its a fake democracy we live in, but the only way to break this vicious circle is to find a new non-Establishment party to get behind in great numbers and vote for them.
So yeah, I do feel sorry for Liz Truss, and I feel she will end up becoming another victim of this political suicide being carried out upon our great country.
