Any system of slow reform will fail against the system. The BBC will broadcast daily reports of starving children, the bureaucrats will do everything in their power to stop the government and slow down change. It will be a disaster. Indeed the last run of Tory governments can be seen as an attempt at gradual sensible reform without rocking the boat. They failed dismally.

Truss failed because she didn't plan prior to her election, not because she moved too fast after it. The day after a radical liberal government is elected, easily 50% of the nations civil servants need to be unable to fight back because they are too busy looking for a new job.
