LIZ TRUSS takes commanding lead in race to become UK Prime Minister
YouGov ^ | July 21 | YouGov

Posted on 07/21/2022 7:55:59 PM PDT by RandFan

The foreign secretary has opened up a commanding lead over the former Chancellor as the long campaign gets underway

Yesterday, Conservative MPs voted to send both Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss through to the final stage of the party’s leadership contest.

One of them will now be selected to replace Boris Johnson by the party membership in a ballot running from 4 August until early September.

Earlier this week, our figures suggested that Truss would beat Sunak in a hypothetical head-to-head by 19 points.

Now, with the final two announced and the summer campaign just beginning, a new YouGov poll of Tory members suggests Truss retains her strong advantage.

As things stand, 31% of the membership intend to vote for Rishi Sunak, while 49% intend to vote for Liz Truss. A further 15% currently don’t know how they will vote, and 6% currently tell us they will abstain.

This puts the headline voting intention at 62% for Truss and 38% for Sunak (i.e. after people who are currently unsure or won’t vote are excluded) – a 24-point lead for the foreign secretary.

Sunak clearly has a mountain to climb to overturn the deficit he currently faces among the party faithful.

She’s another globalist that will keep pushing to continue the failed proxy and sanction war in Ukraine.

Truss is probably the best that could be hoped for in today’s England and that is not saying much. He opponent would probably put England back into the EU.

Truss is a globalist, and more than a bit dim. I can imagine the press trying to cover a conversation between Truss and Kamala. It would be an all-you-can-eat word salad buffet. Even better, have Karine Jean-Pierre listen in, and then hold a press conference to answer questions about the meeting. It would be Stupid to the third power.

Liz Truss is a frigging trainwreck. Is there some rule that all PM must be part of the global cabal?

Yes. I’ve heard her speak. My 9 year old niece has a better grasp of the English language than this walking WEF doll..

The UK is a lost cause. What Hitler couldn’t do with V2 rockets from Germany, it’s been accomplished by the WEF conferences.

I predict she’ll be a disaster and Labor regains the majority.

Perfect.

She is not a putinbitch that will suck off Putin and hand him Ukraine.

Kherson will be liberated shortly and I will splash about in putinbitch tears.

A Western leader that fights for the West.

The USA hasn’t got much room to talk about a female dim bulbs in the UK, it’s got one to match her, waiting in the wings to step in after Biden either steps down or is removed.
