As it happens, right now I am reading a novel written by Lynne Truss.
If I compare the two Trusses, I would prefer Lynne over Liz.

Lynne Truss (born 31 May 1955[1]) is an English author, journalist, novelist, and radio broadcaster and dramatist. She is arguably best known for her championing of correctness and aesthetics in the English language, which is the subject of her popular and widely discussed 2003 book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation.[2] The book was inspired by a BBC Radio 4 show about punctuation, Cutting a Dash, which she presented.

Beside her promotion of linguistic prescription and commentary on English grammar, Truss has written many radio plays, both comedic and dramatic. She has also written novels, and grammar guides for children.

I wonder who will follow Boris Johnson.
I am afraid that neither of the two will be much of an improvement.

 

[David's Harp]

For me, you would be as well asking the question: which face/voice you would rather see/hear in the media?

Whoever gets in will only be following orders from powers much higher than they are.

In my opinion, we really are on a global stage with actors playing their parts in order to entertain and distract from the Truth.

Which powers?

 

[David's Harp]

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12)

I don't know much about either of them, though I'd rather have our 3rd female PM than someone who stabbed Boris in the back.

But as I'm not a member of the Tory party I, and millions of others, have no say whatsoever.

 

[Landon Caeli]

I voted for Liz, based on her ethnicity.

I support the indigenous people's of the land there.

 

[Red Gold]

Now:

2 x none of the two
1 x Liz Truss

But as I'm not a member of the Tory party I, and millions of others, have no say whatsoever.

HERE IN THIS POLL we all have a say.
That is what a forum is there for.

We are not the Tory Party here.

It is a pity that Tom Tugendhat is no longer in the race.
His name means in German: "Er hat Tugend = he has virtue!"

I would have liked a Prime Minister with such a name.

A Queen with the German name Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha
and a Prime Minister called Tugendhat.

 

[Strong in Him]

A Queen with the German name Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha
and a Prime Minister called Tugendhat.

The Queen is Elizabeth Windsor.
Their surname was officially changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1917.

Their surname was officially changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1917.

I know.

The outcome in real life was or is like this now:

First Truss had won - and later Sunak has won.

But here in this poll you can still vote!
