Voted into power by the Tory party membership, not the general electorship.
The problem Truss had was she was ignoring advice from the experts and proceeding based on faith. They couldn't weather the storm, they had already run aground and were about to break up on the rocks.

If the members directly elected party leaders it would be run by Kemi Badenoch, a black female conservative software engineer who when she was younger hacked the website of a Labour MP so it said nice things about the Tories.
