Future Timeline

Truss has resigned after just 45 days as PM. This makes her the shortest-serving PM in British history, even shorter than George Canning.

It is looking like there still won't be an general election. They're going to go for another round of voting for a Conservative Party leader. It's absurd given how extremely unpopular the Conservative Party is.

The UK population want a general election, geez do the right thing for once Tories.

Rumours that Johnson may stand again. The Stupidity Singularity is near.

It has already arrived since they're even considering it.

Haven't commented much on the Truss premiership but she reminds me a lot of the UK version of Canada's Kim Campbell. She presided over the meltdown of the Conservative party in Canada in 1993 leading to the largest wipeout of a governing party in the history of any Western democracy. Wondering if the next UK election will be a repeat of Canada's situation.

Won't that be good for Labour? The Tories are so abysmally bad that they have to reinstate Bojo the clown with all the scandals still fresh in memory.

I'd imagine he'd be too focused on revenge against the MPs who ousted him to actually govern effectively.
