Liz Truss as Justice Secretary was explicitly responsible for ensuring the independence of the judiciary from politics - a fundamental part of any democratic system.
In 2017 she completely failed to defend the judges in the Gina Miller challenge on Article 50 in the "battle for Brexit".
She later climbed down. I do not think democracy is safe in her hands - I can only assume her motives were political - as such she fails to clear the bar to win my support.
