Liz Truss 'has 20 point lead over Sunak' - YouGov...
Patrick English, from YouGov, has told Sky News that Liz Truss has a 20-point lead over Rishi Sunak among Conservative members, according to their most recent polling. "Lets Get Real:
The Conservative membership was more loyal to PM Boris than his MPs, they tend to be older, white, and to the right of their MPs. Conservative Members want to see low taxes, a smaller state, and finishing Brexit. Truss voted REMAIN in 2016 but she has become a CONVERT, and is now at the present pushing the Northern Ireland Protocol through the House of Commons. While Rishi Sunak supported Brexit in 2016 but was very cool to the Protocol Bill when discussed in the Cabinet. Liz Truss wants TAX CUTS NOW, that always goes down well with Party members and the general public. Of course we have a long Summer to go, it would be risky to make a prediction, but his blog will take the risk, it will be Truss by a few % points, one can expect the Chancellor to take the fight to the Foreign Secretary, and there will be meetings for the party members to meet and grill the candidates, politicians make mistakes, let's see who can follow the script. On the whole the blog is indifferent about the result, Sunak has promised to rip up EU laws when he comes in to office, but first he has to get elected, Rishi just might be to rich even for Conservative members. Thus on the whole on the Liz side, we have all made mistakes, Liz was a Liberal Democrat and Remainer, but she has reformed. Thus political sins have to be forgiven.
