Conservative Party lawmakers said they could no longer trust a prime minister who prevaricated his way through scandal after scandal (and could no longer be counted on to help win elections). If Truss does emerge victorious, she would be Britain’s third female prime minister — following Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May. His predecessor, May, also called an early election, which lost her a parliamentary majority. As foreign secretary, she was a reliable NATO ally and Ukraine supporter, talking tough on Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin.

And even though Sunak has promised to support a new government even if he is not leader, political analysts have said it will be difficult for Truss to unify her divided Conservatives, who still enjoy a sizable majority in the country's parliament — thanks, ironically, to Johnson's huge success as a campaigner during the last national elections. "And we will deliver a great victory for the Conservative Party in 2024" — when the next national elections are slated to be held.

In Boris Johnson's government she has held the position of international trade secretary and then, until now, foreign minister. In 2010, however, she finally succeeded in becoming the MP for South West Norfolk, which remains her constituency now — although faced another hurdle to reach that position when local party activists tried to have her deselected as a candidate as she had not declared an affair in 2006 with a married MP, Mark Field. following the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson — the country now has a new leader. She recalls her mother taking her on nuclear disarmament marches, run by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), in the early 1980s where they would sing anti-Margaret Thatcher songs.

And on Monday, in a signal of these serious challenges ahead, the British pound dropped 0.3% to its lowest level against the US dollar since 1985. Regardless, Johnson is likely to remain a high-profile figure. Truss will take over a Conservative government that is facing multiple crises in the country. His downfall followed months of revelations over parties held in 10 Downing Street while the country was under Covid lockdown restrictions. Inflation rose above 10% in July for the first time in 40 years, driven largely by the rising cost of energy, food and fuel. He leaves office a deeply unpopular prime minister less than three years after romping home to an enormous landslide election victory in 2019. She pledged action to tackle the crisis in a short victory speech at a conference center in London on Monday. Truss had been the frontrunner for weeks, and the 47-year-old will now follow Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May to become Britain’s third female premier. Like Thatcher, Truss has come from relatively humble beginnings to dominate a world inhabited largely by men. Throughout her political career, especially during the leadership contest, Truss has been compared to Thatcher, who, for many on the right, remains the benchmark for Conservative leaders.

Liz Truss comfortably beat Rishi Sunak to replace Boris Johnson. Truss has sought to portray herself as the political heir to the so-called Iron Lady.

No matter who is prime minister, and no matter which party is in power – on either side of the Atlantic – that is unlikely to change. "We are currently in that position where we are watching the beds in European hospitals and doing nothing about it," a reference to allegations that Johnson did not take swift action during the coronavirus pandemic. "This is a national crisis, on the scale we saw in the pandemic," Martin Lewis, a financial journalist and consumer advocate, told the BBC recently. However, Bale said, one "bone of contention" could arise if Truss "takes a hard line on amending rules at Northern Ireland's border," which the Biden administration views as a threat to the peace between Ireland and Northern Ireland. On all the major geopolitical topics of the day, such as China-related security matters, the Iran nuclear deal, and pressuring Russia over its war in Ukraine, there is broad agreement on how to tackle those questions. "That will take leadership and political will of a degree rarely permitted in British politics.” Northern Ireland is part of the U.K.; Ireland remains in the EU bloc. - "Truss plainly wishes to be heir to Thatcher, not May, who was forced from office after failing to unite a fractious Conservative Party over Brexit. It is a break from tradition; usually the queen would host the departing and new British leaders at her London residence, which she has done 15 times during her 70-year reign. The notion of unfunded tax cuts appalled her." Truss won 57% of votes cast by about 172,000 eligible grassroots Conservative Party members, or less than 1% of the U.K.'s population of 67 million. Johnson, an architect of Britain's exit from the European Union (known as Brexit), held the role for just over three years before resigning amid scandals over breaking his own coronavirus lockdown rules.

No creemos que las personas nazcan para gobernar". Truss hizo campaña a favor de permanecer en ella y escribió en el diario Sun que el Brexit sería "una triple tragedia: más reglas, más formularios y más demoras al vender a la UE".
