Context: Liz Truss being the favourite for next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.<p>I'm not comparing her to Donald Trump, but there's the same sense of incredulity that the political system would install someone so populist and devoid of substance in such a position of power.<p>The office of Prime Minister is decided by the ruling party. Due to the timing of party politics and General Elections, she'll have been elected by the Conservative party, not by the actual UK electorate.
