The rise of Liz Truss to the United Kingdom\u2019s highest elected office has the potential to reshape the country\u2019s regulatory landscape. Truss based her leadership campaign within the center-right Conservative Party on the promise to deliver the benefits she believes are yet to be claimed from Britain\u2019s departure from the European Union \u2014 including slashing through any residual red tape and making regulation nimbler and more business friendly. But it\u2019s the prospect of an executive having the final say on decisions by independent regulators that has sparked a broader debate on whether politics and regulation can \u2014 and should \u2014 mix.
