Majority of Tory party members want Liz Truss to resign now – as Boris Johnson tops list to replace PM
Tory party members were responsible for voting for Liz Truss over Rishi Sunak this summer but after the economic turmoil that has haunted most of her brief premiership they are thinking again.
The majority of Conservative Party members want Liz Truss to resign now – just six weeks after voting her in – and former PM Boris Johnson topped the list of who would be best to replace her, a new poll has found.
A YouGov poll of Tory members found 55% would now vote for Rishi Sunak, who lost out to Ms Truss, if they were able to vote again, while just 25% would vote for Ms Truss.
As her position as prime minister hangs by a thread following a major U-turn on the majority of the mini-budget, Tory members are largely unimpressed with Ms Truss.
