Since when have the ramifications of political choice ever been "short term"?

Liz Truss was only PM for 49 days. How much impact on the economy did she have?



“The U.K.’s stock and bond markets have shed at least $500 billion in value since Liz Truss was formally appointed to succeed Boris Johnson as prime minister on Sept. 5.”

The article was published 22 days into her tenue.


So... Not short term, then?


Are we talking around each other? 22 days feels fairly short term.


The impact of the individual, the damage, outlasts even a short appointment.

Thus, no political choice, is short term.


Liz Truss was over 25 at the time.
