LONDON — Prime Minister Liz Truss announced on Thursday that she would resign, just days after her new finance minister reversed virtually all of her planned tax cuts, sweeping away a free-market fiscal agenda that promised a radical policy shift for Britain but instead plunged the country into weeks of economic and political turmoil.
“I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected,” she said in brief remarks outside Downing Street.
She said she had informed King Charles III that she was resigning as leader of the Conservative Party, and that she would remain leader and prime minister until a successor is chosen within a week.
Her departure, after only six weeks in office, was a shockingly rapid fall from power, and throws her Conservative Party into further disarray, following the messy departure of Boris Johnson from Downing Street over the summer.
The announcement came minutes after Ms. Truss held an unscheduled meeting with Graham Brady, the head of a group of Conservative lawmakers known as the 1922 Committee that plays an influential role in selecting the party leader.

Their Labor Party tend to be Stalinesque.
...which is definitely the bedrock of British Conservatism.
British conservatives don;'t dare to criticize it.
don't dare criticize it...IMO the British people aren't willing to ditch it and the Conservatives know it...sort of like Social Security and Medicare here in the U.S....some societies like the idea of basic human needs being assured...you have a problem with that?
btw, do you avail yourself of SS and Medicare?
