Britain’s newly minted Prime Minister Liz Truss is already the most unpopular UK political leader in the history of polling.
Nevertheless, despite the degree to which they may be totally accurate, present polling in the UK certainly seems to agree that the new Prime Minister Liz Truss is having a hard time. According to a, four in five British adults now have an unfavourable view of the Prime Minister, with Truss’ net favorability resting at negative 70 per cent, seemingly as a result of the premier’s botched handling of her tax-cutting economic plan.
Such a figure is reportedly the lowest ever recorded by YouGov, standing 17 points below Boris Johnson’s worst-ever approval rating of negative 53 per cent. Some 10 per cent of UK adults said they have a favourable view of the newly appointed Prime Minister, the poll claims. Meanwhile, the Conservative Party as a whole does not appear to be doing much better, with one particularly dire poll predicting that, if a general election was held today, the Conservative Party would hand a landslide 507 seat majority to the Labour party.
To make matters even worse, with it being expected that the Tories would lose 317 of their 365 seats should such an election come to pass, the party would not even be able to hold onto the leader of the opposition spot currently occupied by Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer. Instead, the separatist Scottish National Party would be expected to end up as the second largest party in the lower house, granting the party’s parliamentary group leader, Ian Blackford, to ask six questions to the Prime Minister every Wednesday during Prime Ministers Questions, with whoever is left leading the Tories left only being allowed to ask two.
