To be fair, the electorate didn't vote for Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak, they were voted in by Tory membership, who are mostly old and wealthy and don't really care about the plight of the working class up and down the country.

But you are right, people voted for awful leaders like Boris Johnson because they presumably value a comedic personality over honesty and integrity, and because the Tory press do an excellent job of denigrating candidates from any party who don't serve the media owners' own interests.
