1. Larry is a better judge of character than the majority of Brit voters.

2. Thanks to Britain's odd electoral system, most voters never got a chance to vote for or against her.

She was chosen to replace Boris Johnson by a vote of the paid-up members of the Conservative Party, which came to about 150k voters in all (in a country of nearly 70 million). There was no general election to choose her, and even if there is a general election in the near future, only voters in her home district would vote directly for her (to be a member of Parliament). Everyone else would be voting for their own local members of Parliament, and whichever party gains the majority of MPs would choose their leader, who would become the PM. Not like the US, where voters can vote directly for the presidential candidate of their choice. To each his own - and animals on both sides of the Atlantic do have an uncanny knack of knowing which humans to avoid!

8. Americans do not directly vote for POTUS. They vote for electors ...

... some states do not require the electors to vote for the winner of the votes.

9. I don't know about you, but I got to cast a vote for Joe Biden last time around.

I know what you mean about the Electoral College, but we Americans do at least get the opportunity to vote directly for a President. How the President is actually chosen is another matter, ridiculously indirect though that mechanism might be.

13. In a presidential election you are voting for the electors of said candidate.

That is made clear by postings on an absentee ballot and postings at the voting locations. So, Americans don’t directly vote for the potus candidate. The J-6 event that the insurrectionists tried to stop was the acceptance of the electors vote.

3. That looked like a vote for "Trussexit" to me

we'll have to await the reaction in pubs across the UK of Larry's snub before we pass final judgement on her banishment to a castle dungeon.

4. "Nope. Next?"

[DinahMoeHum]

5. Well, Larry has outlasted several PMs already. . .

Liz Truss is in Birmingham for the Conservative Party Conference. I think it’s probably for the best if I change the locks.

6. Truss cut his food allotment and gave it to Tory fat cats.

KY.........

7. He's Truxiting. nt

[Carlitos Brigante]

10. He's probably like "If she says the bloody words decisive action one

more time. I'm clawing the shit out of her! Let me just step back...... ". 😾

11. Larry Cat needs to set up a betting pool to see who gets replaced first:

Truss or Italy's Mussolini with Boobs.

[Yavin4]

12. Larry has seen them come and go. He doesn't want to get attached. n/t

14. Cats know. And she's not a cat person.

You don't approach a cat like that. You have to wait on the cat to acknowledge you. And then blink slowly at the cat.

Larry was happy enough getting attention from the press. As soon as she reached down to pet him like a dog, that was enough of that. She probably doesn't even know how to make friends with a cat.
