Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[ger147]

The silver lining from this election must surely be the end of Corbyn but the question is whether someone equally hopeless will replace him.

I am not 100% convinced he will go even if Labour get trounced in the GE.

I have a sneaky feeling he might try and hang on as he hasn't been leader for that long. It will be up to the unions I guess to force him out if he doesn't fall on his sword of his own accord...

The big unions want him and the puppet master McDonnell to stay as it's there only way of controlling the party.

The old politicians were not scared to debate with the public like May is..........what is she so frightened of?

Now being 'grilled' by Matt on The One Show:lol:

That doesn't answer the question. Why didn't the snake oil salesman and the one eyed Scottish idiot get the same level of outcry when they decided that debates were unnecessary?

Could it be because many on the left are complete hypocrites and overlook these things when they happen to someone who shares their political views? Let's face it, Theresa May could stand up tomorrow and say that she had personally found a cure for AIDS and cancer and there would still be some people complaining that she hadn't found a cure for the common cold.

You Labour supporters are the only ones that need to be concerned, Jeremy is about to destroy your party and you know what, it's all your own fault for letting the party get out of touch with it's grass roots in favour of the Trots.

So rather than pivot, divert and change the subject, are you going to comment on @jp5's observations about what our Prime Minister is doing/not doing and her behaviour being bad for democracy when this is a very important GE and time for our country.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

No I dont need to, I already know what her position is on those things, just like I know what Corbyn's stance is. Why would I want to see them in front of a selected TV audience. Complete waste of time.

In other words you'd rather not have your unswerving and blind faith and belief in her undermined, and would rather not see and hear her exposed as the duplicitous charlatan that she is ever more becoming. Otherwise you'd be only too pleased to see and hear her swat questions away with logical, coherent and consistent answers - riding triumphant over the doubting Thomases and Jeremiahs.

Not the case. Next question. Move on.

Or does the answer it was good enough to duck it in the past and nobody cared, a lot on here have also stated that there boring and not worth the air time until now when it suits some hypocritical posters to make an issue of it.

PS. The two main players are also getting a question time special were the public can ask the questions and not have a false debate which isn't and never was a debate more a mud slinging match.

PPS the bit players are also getting there chance in a seperate programme.

And so May is on the Nick Ferrari Show on LBC Thursday morning, and when asked today what question Nick Clegg would ask her?

“Did you believe anything you said before 23rd June?”

Here's another from me

"Why didn't you reduce immigration in the 6 years that you were Home Secretary?"

Write and ask, it's a fair bet the address will be 10 Downing St.

I think SR can answer for himself...

The past is the past. There has never been a time so important in UK politics in the last 50yrs - and the Prime Minister seems scared of getting herself exposed. The British Public were fed lies and misinformation for the Brexit vote. We deserve better - that opportunity is now.

After all - is this election not clearly all about May - not the Tory Party - but May herself - as an individual - seeking a mandate for Brexit and her manifesto? May should stand up - debate and answer the questions face-2-face with the public - she wants a mandate - so she can be held accountable by the British Public for her answers. She may well get the mandate she seeks - but she herself has to earn it. Currently she is hiding and is doing nothing to earn it.

Deflect.

Questions unanswered as usual - but not unexpected and sad that you do not seem to care. Or do you think the questions are a little tough?

She is appearing live on TV on 2nd June to answer questions from the genetal public.

You are getting more and more mouth foaming by the day, May has taken your focus from Brexit now, it's all a bit rabid.

You ask me to explain something I already had, accusing me of dodging the question and rather than an apology I then get the equivalent of a 'Fire and Brimstone' outpouring of vitriolic hatred for the Prime Minister. You really need to calm down and seek help.

 

[Old Skier]

Do you really believe that. Important possibly but in the last 50 years you do remember the threat of nuclear war several major armed conflicts and a constant terrorists threat and you zone in on the actions of one PM dealing with something that you don't agree with.

The past may be the past but someone once said "never forget your history ". or previous posts.

Genetal eh.....That would be an interesting watch.:lol:

Both before and after the election...

Well - perhaps you might try answering it because Brexiteers seem to have answers for everything. Besides - if I were to ask the PM then the rest of us would be none the wiser.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

A drop from 600 to 260 in three years? Something else locally must be in play or they'd trashed the place surely? that's mental.

According to web house prices in Aberdeen have fallen 10% per year on average, but that's pretty local...they are rising still in the South as demand outstripping supply

Maybe the folks that Hobbits neighbours bought the house from forgot to mention that Trump had property nearby...

You dodge pretty much every question that is asked. I do not hate the Prime Minister - I do not hate anyone. I am dismayed by her.

So let's have another go on her being a strong Remainer to Hard Leaver overnight. You don't have to be the latter to accept the will of the Great British Public - if you believed what you said for years before the EU vote you would most certainly NOT be a Hard Leaver. Explain.

And on the NHS. Is No Deal good or bad for the NHS? And how will MPs know if they are not told what a No Deal will mean (for the NHS, the economy, security etc) when they come to the Deal/No Deal Vote. When will they be told?

And on UK/France border control in Calais. We were told by Leave that any concerns about that moving to Dover will Project Fear scaremongering and treachery. Where are we now - that Macron has said he will be looking at this very closely. And why not. If the control was in the UK then I am damn sure Team DExEU would be looking to move it to France. So still Project Fear.

And any news on the NI/Eire border and how we stop immigration from Eire to NI to UK Mainland?

And on immigration - 10s of thousands? Please explain how that fits with your mantra of 'the UK will have the level of nett migration required to sustain the economy and public services'. Your words.

Now these are all questions that I have no answers for - so I have to look to such as you - who have the answers to all things Leave.

And whilst we are it with May. Since it is clear the May is majoring on getting a personal mandate from this GE for all things - is it not incumbent upon her to engage in the fullest possible way to explain HER position on all matters - to face the public in open forum; so that SHE can be held directly accountable for the actions of HER government. Not hiding away with her hubby on the One Show or in front of a selected and what will largely be a sycophantic audience.

Try watching some of the 'Town Hall' grillings that most Republican Representatives in Congress are subjecting themselves to at the moment - specifically over Health Care, it's proving to be very difficult for them - but they recognise democracy; the needs of democracy, and the responsibility of those in public office to be held accountable. Theresa May doesn't seem to recognise much of that - certainly steering away from it as much as she can - maintaining an aloof and superior demeanor.

And oh yes - unless she has missed it - Theresa May won't be doing much in the way of the Brexit negotiations. Her ministers and Civil Servants will.
