Five Video Game Characters Who'd Make A Better Prime Minister Than Liz Truss

thegamer.com:

Liz Truss is the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A politician who can’t spell illiterate, doesn’t care about our rising energy bills, and believes that trans women aren’t women. She’s the one who will lead the Conversative party into a ‘new era.' Except she won’t. Come on now.

Thatcher 3.0 will repeat all the same mistakes of her predecessors while ensuring the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, all while the country sinks further into oblivion. We’re in for a brilliant time and I can’t wait, largely because it means we’re closer to revolution.

But the content gods demand I deliver, so here I am turning my political discontent into a list of characters that would do a much better job at leading this country than Ol’ Lizzy Trussy. I even threw in a couple of honourable mentions for good measure.

The Tories didn’t do a great job of handling the pandemic, but there’s a sunglasses loving villain who knows a thing or two about the eruption of societal contagion - Albert Wesker.

Resident Evil’s head honcho is all about letting those beneath him perish for economic gain. He tried time and time again to enact the apocalypse within the Umbrella Corporation and is somehow still on their payroll. I bet he even takes advantage of company expenses to pay for his estate while the rest of his employees are going to foodbanks. Classic Tory.

But he’d still do a better job than Liz Truss. He’s charming, and not in the ‘Boris Johnson is trying his best despite being a giant bumbling fuckwit’ kind of charming. He knows how to talk his way through a tricky situation and remain on top. It’s why he hasn’t been sacked yet.

We’d trust him with our lives
