Current Affairs Liz Truss

[Rita_Poon]

If she's getting £125,000 per year, then presumably Cameron, May, and Johnson are getting the same. A million pounds a year wasted on four people who did more than most to wreck the country's economy.

625k yearly for these shysters. The galling thing is, they're independently wealthy besides this 'looking after' for 'office'. They've implemented a system that significantly rewards their failures. And why not, there's 'boat people' to blame...

And looking into the accounts of much poorer people, absolutely shameless, but then again some people actually go out and vote for these people..

I blame Labour. None of these grifters would have been elected had Labour kept their promise in 1997 to revamp the electoral system. As soon as Blair got his majority, he was quick to renege on that one and abandon the Lib Dems. As long as the UK has an undemocratic system that rewards parties without a majority of the vote with vast majorities of the seats, then the likes of Johnson and Truss are free to wreak havoc.

We had the chance of political reform back in 2011, I voted for it to change but it wasn't succesful.

It wouldn't have done anything positive, and may even have led to worse outcomes. The party system is the problem, not the voting system.

You mean the whip system where an MP has to vote according to party instructions rather that following the mood of their constituents?

That is a big part of it, but also the selection of MPs and how we the electorate are deliberately encouraged to see MPs as essentially proxies for the party leader.

"Is this 'rigged system' in the room with you now Ms Truss."

Funny way to say "checks and balances against deranged economic illiterates pursuing ruinous policies".
