I've seen a few people say the same on Conservative Home .. from what I've seen I totally don't agree .. so why do you think so ?

I think if wants and gets the job she will be great modern leader, she could win the party a new generation of supporters

She was better when she worked for the beeb.
She regularly gets torn a new one in first minister questions.

Gove and Boris were gonna be great leaders, till of course they well, tried too hard.
Auntie Felicity sitting on the remain side of the fence, kept her head down, her beak firmly welded shut, awkwardly fell into the Brexit side of the fence and was mothered into the leadership role. Strictly to hatch the egg for some other more “Brixity” sort.
But suddenly all the disciples of Brexit decided a very fine leader had arrived who would deliver Brexit.
But of course the rest is history .... long slow train crash!!
Why? Cause there is no definition of Brexit. It’s a sort of out of body experience for Brexity kind of folks, but the experience from one to the other is quite different. Magic mushroom kinda stuff really, with a dollop of snuff on the side.
Any and all leaders quite quickly go insane, and start to mutter slogans over and over ad nauseum!

I do hope RD, has observed the hallucinatory effect of Brexit on TM, and will give the leadership role a very wide berth indeed.

Indeed the role needs to be landed square in the lap of Mogger ..... he hallucinates in any case, Brexit or no Brexit.

Something has to change in the Tory party. It's a straight choice between them and the SNP in this constituency but, given the absolute mess they are making of Brexit and some of the personalities, I would struggle to put an X in that box at the moment.

Which personalities don't you like and why ?

 

[uztrac]

Mogg for next leader of the party,and it might come about sooner than we realise IMHO.

Johnson: Bright, yes. A balloon, yes. Went missing after Brexit vote, which I strongly suspect he campaigned for to further his career. Have it first hand that he and his people are 'ghastly'. To add balance, I did enjoy his biography of Churchill.

Gove: Untrustworthy and determined to be seen as 'green' and 'pro animal welfare' whatever the reality of the situation. Ask the fishermen what they think of him.

Fox: Another free market headbanger. I heard a report of a factory visit where he failed to ask one sensible question.

Mogg: Seems to think he can run the country because he went to Eton and didn't buy his own furniture. Answers to the Vatican first and everyone else second.

May: Stepped forward when others chose to step back and you've got to give her credit for that. Fought a woeful election campaign which has led to the DUP effectively having a veto. A very bad situation when negotiations around the Irish border are so important.

I'm not claiming that these opinions are based on forensic examination of all available texts. They're just opinions of someone who keeps an eye on current affairs, someone that voted Tory last time but has very little incentive to do so again apart from the fact that they're not the SNP.

Good summation. Rest of the world now know that IF (probably won’t) comes to the stage where UK is doing its own trade deals, they will be negotiating with a bunch of infighting clowns. It’s gonna be a turkey shoot for sure.

Yes, a deal with the US was a gimme, apparently...

As a lifetime Conservative ( dating back to Sir Alec Douglas-Home ) I am not sure who will get my vote next time around.A lot depends on how things pan out over the next 30 days or so.

Does it matter. You are a lifetime voting Conservative. In my constituency which may well be a similar rural one to yours the Tories could put up one legged hermaphrodite Orang Utang - it would be elected as MP.

Yes, maybe in your constituency. But the Tory majority is wafer thin and it wouldn't take many disgruntled voters deserting them to change the landscape considerably.

Our Tory MP won in 2017 with a 20,094 majority. The nearest was 1997 with about 3000 majority - the election the Tories were booted out. So a few disgruntled folk here makes no difference. The fault of a dirty electoral first past post system. So I can hardly be bothered to turn out now to vote as the General Election is decided by about 100,000 folk in about 100 swing constituencies - and they call it democracy. Hey ho.

Same as where I was. No incentive to vote at all with the UK system

 

[holywell farmer]

Will Ruth go for English or Scottish seat
