Truss believes the Conservative Party's collapse stems from a departure from core ideological values, not her brief tenure. She points to issues like mass migration, high taxes, and a government that has embraced left-wing policies.
Truss states, 'By any objective measure, that's not a very strongly conservative set of policies.' This reflects her view that the party has strayed into the realm of liberal-left ideologies, moving away from traditional conservatism.
Despite her own administration being short-lived, Truss contends, 'I tried...but it was too late in the day, fundamentally.' This indicates her belief that errors in governance were part of a larger political drift rather than her own leadership failures.
She argues that the Conservative Party's current policies, including record tax levels and increased government size, reflect a failure to return to conservative principles after years in power, effectively still living in 'Tony Blair's Britain'.
