Former British Prime Minister Truss took just 45 days, setting the shortest time for a new British prime minister to take office.

Despite his shortest tenure, Truss managed to make a mess of Britain.

Financial turmoil, the pound crashed, railway workers went on strike, and the situation was unstable.

In the end, he stepped down under pressure.

Although the Truss stepped down, she herself left a lot of "political legacy" to Britain in 45 days.

1. Reasonableness of the election

The British Conservative Party elected Truss, and when she stepped down, the poll support was only 8%, and such an unpopular prime minister could take office, and the people were completely unaware of it.

So, does it show that the rationality of the party's election of the prime minister is doubtful?

The United Kingdom is second only to the United States among Western countries and likes to advertise itself as a fair democracy.

Such a "liberal and democratic" country now has a situation of "electing an incompetent prime minister without the knowledge of the public".

If, through this, the British people find themselves with a problem with their country's electoral system, what will they do?

This was Truss's first legacy to the British people.

2. Strike movement

Britain's cities are largely connected by rail, and now railworkers are on strike until early November. During this period, who should bear the responsibility for the inconvenience of transportation and the shortage of materials caused by the strike?

Now that Truss is stepping down, but the railroad workers have not returned to work, who will be responsible for appeasing these railroad workers and meeting their demands for a raise?

If railroad workers can get a raise through protests, can people in other industries follow suit? Follow the strike movement?

Then this will cause a relatively large pressure on the economy.

After all, now that the Fed is desperately raising interest rates, inflation in all countries is quite serious.

According to the Office for National Statistics, inflation in the UK was as high as 10.1% in September.

If prices soar, then the expenditure of normal people will decrease, indirectly affecting the reduction of business revenue, and self-employed or small and medium-sized enterprises will choose to lay off employees and reduce the volume of business.

The whole state of the UK is even worse.

This leads to a third question.

3. Who will turn the tide?

When Johnson was forced to resign as prime minister, everyone was looking forward to finding a more capable prime minister to take on the role.

As a result, Truss came, and the man, as his name suggests, was very broken.

The former foreign minister, who knew nothing about economics, immediately introduced a radical national tax cut after taking office, which directly caused British finance (stocks & bonds) to plummet on the spot.

Now that Truss patted his ass and left, he has to start re-electing people, who to choose? The Conservatives began to think about Johnson's goodness again.

The British prime minister, who always had a messy haircut, managed to get Britain out of the European Union during his tenure, but at the same time he was unable to contain the epidemic and economic decline. The merits are compensated, and he can barely be regarded as a passable prime minister.

In the current empty window after Truss's retirement, Johnson, the former prime minister, does have a relatively high voice and prestige.

But the population doesn't seem to think so.

A YouGov survey of 1,700 random British adults between the 20th and 21st showed that 43 per cent of respondents said Sunak was better qualified for the prime ministership, with a net approval rating of 3 per cent. Johnson received just 34 percent of the support, compared to -22 percent net.

The more popular candidate for prime minister is the African-American MP who competed with Truss for the British prime minister's seat, Sunak.

The African-American chancellor is a professional counterpart in the economy, but the problem is that he is not British.

A British prime minister who is not British, this is the latest British joke.

Unlike when Obama was elected president of the United States, Obama was a decent American and a symbol of the black community living in the United States.

Sunak is not British, and he does not represent black people in Britain.

Therefore, in terms of campaigning, although Sunak is indeed very promising to lead the LinkedIn country out of the predicament temporarily after being elected prime minister, considering his status, it is Johnson who is better.

Now, there are British parliamentarians who have also expressed their position.

It doesn't matter which of you two is the prime minister, the most important thing is not to let British stocks and bonds continue to plummet, the country can't stand it, the people can't stand it, and we can't stand it.
