Theresa May Prime Minister of England - Your Opinion of her?

[Jaylock]

What is your opinion of Prime Minister Theresa May?

Do you like her? Do you like her policies?

Why do you like / dislike her as the leader of England?

[GennGreymane]

I have no strong feelings one way or the other

[Belize]

I think the Queen should be reinstated as supreme monarch of England.

[Fleuria]

She's fine, speaks for the majority of the UK and just not for the elite, trying to do her best with the shit hole Cameron left.

I literally only vote Conservative because of the Economy, it was a wreck under labour and with a full blooded socialist at the helm currently the current labour party would more than likely go one step further than Blair/Brown and bankrupt the UK totally.

Probably going to at least have 8+ years of her in power, unless a train hits Corbyn and a more central left political figure takes the reins.

[Crispin]

Dissapointed tbh, Cameron was an absolute disaster, and I had high hopes for May, but she honestly seem as if she's got no idea what the fuck she's doing or what to do.

[Sliske]

Shes great. Will all depend on whether she keeps the Brexit schedule or not, though. Shes not caved to EU threats and fear mongering and is putting them in their place.

The west by and large is rejecting these idiots we've had for the past 15 years (Bush, Blair, Cameron, Obama, Brown, Hollande) and is looking for a more stable and conservative government. Authoritarians have ran rampant in the west for over a decade now and people are sick of it.

Lets hope she isn't the same.

(Also good luck France on getting Le Pen in, and the Dutch getting Geert Wilder)

[DarkAmbient]

Ignoring the deliberate bait in the title and post...

She's a high calibre individual, very workmanlike, not showy. A bit too authoritarian for my tastes. Wouldn't want to be in her shoes having to deal with Brexit + running the country. Tough time to be a PM, made easier by a useless opposition.

I like that shes conservative. It really bodes well for the UK people to implement economic and social policies that give back to the people, rather than take away and redistribute to the people. This is just my opinion of course.

Also, im glad she is taking a hard stance against the EU to exit.

Oh, to see the world through your lens.

Just adorable.

[Aeula]

She's alright. But I'm cautious, not liking the increasing rules and regulations when it comes to the internet.

[Jaylock]

Why do you feel she is not a good Prime Minister? What makes you see the world through a different lens?

[Acidbaron]

My impression of her is that she's lost half of the time trying to figure out what to do that is in line with both the referendum vote and what her party expects of her, having had statements to "correct" by spoke persons after she said some things in public.

However as a politician in charge you position is very unstable and you're pretty much screwed, follow through with the Brexit and face at least 50% of the population never voting for you, with a high chance of those in favor before and being effected by the negative changes what are going to be there certainly short term also not voting for you.

Don't go through with the Brexit and get painted of betraying 50% of the population and you get the same result, in other words no smart person would have taken this position. Only politicians with a very uncertain future stand to gain something from it like boris.

[Deleted]

Her government is more right wing than thatcher. She has no ideas, no leadership qualities and scatty policies. Her only achievement is there is now massive problems in every government department. She has no grand vision, just a manger who skillfully avoids firm commitments and tackles obstacles as they come hurtling towards her.

[Sliske]

Just adorable.

Excellent argument.

[CostinR]

She's a tough woman faced with an incredibly challenging task.

I think she's worthy of admiration. I don't approve of her political ideology but I think's she'll prove herself to be a superb leader.

[May90]

I only heard her once, when she was giving a press-conference along with Donny, and she was roughly 1e4 times as smart and eloquent as he is. So, at the very least, she isn't a talking orangutan, which is something!

[sheggaro]

Seems decent enough.

Eh no she doesn't speak for the majority. conservative voters had 36% of the total vote last election which means she (that's if she has supposrt of everyone that voted for her) speaks for the minority of the country. She only is PM because of a crappy outdated FPTP system which is absolutely proven to be awful in both UK and USA.

That said she's going to win the next election by likely receiving about 40% of the vote. A lot of people that might vote Labour are not going to under Corbyn. While he can go and point at saying "Look we are the party with biggest membership." till the cows come home but winning the General Election isn't about who has the biggest membership. It's about convincing those who are not a member of a party and are likely to swing between one or the other. Corbyn is scaring those voters away. Especially in England. (Forget about Scotland, unless something major happens that's SNP turf)
