The result will be known only on Monday, but the polls give it for sure: Liz Truss will be the new leader of the British Conservative Party and will take over from Boris Johnson at the helm of the London government .

In fact, the vote of the approximately 200 thousand Tory members and militants, called to choose their new leader after the resignation of BoJo, overwhelmed by Partygate, failures and gaffes , has been closed, and the forecasts are all for the 47-year-old, current Foreign Minister, who is inspired by Margareth Tathcher and who would have an unbridgeable advantage over the other candidate who arrived in the second round, 42-year-old former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak .

After the officialization of the result, the winner of the challenge will settle at 10 Downing Street and will be invested with the office of premier by Queen Elizabeth herself, in a face to face that for the first time in the Scottish residence of Balmoral, at almost a thousand kilometers from London, where the sovereign had to stay due to the recent - and worrying - worsening of her health and mobility conditions.
