Liz Truss wins race to be U.K. prime minister after Boris Johnson
NBCAPR 2022
The UK's incoming PM has been nothing but dutiful and committed to her party since she entered politics. Now she is ready to lead from the front with an assured, ideologically conservative mandate. Truss represents a kind of change and flexibility that will serve her well in her new role.
Liz Truss may be a committed small-state ideologue, but what the UK currently needs is government intervention to help people and businesses through an unprecedented period of hardship. There is a significant chance that this Conservative's premiership will rely on the Labour Party's ideology of state interventionism.
