Nowhere to hide from your past is there?
Liz Truss spoke on a LibDem platform in 1994 AGAINST the Monarchy.
Yes it was a long time ago, specially in political time but will this play well if she gets to the constituencies as one of final two.

im getting really depressed, dont know to vote for, they all have flaws, none present a confident vibe to me

Truss is around the same age as me so she must have been a teen in 1994. She has a number of criticisable flaws but she may have changed her mind on many things since then.

It's tough. They're human beings and have their flaws, as we all do.

I suppose it's a case of understanding whether their values match our own - as well as their policies. But no-one's going to be perfect.

She was a Remainer in the referendum- more recently.

Yeah but she's always ideologically been a Leaver. She was a Remainer as she agreed leaving the EU would screw the economy (and she probably thought it would be better for her career as Remain would win). She co-authored Britannia Unchained which includes the line "the British are the worst idlers in the world" - she's pretty terrifying.

Yes an instinctive Remainer but supported by Jacob-Rees-Brexit
