Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[Papas1982]

It didn't need calling, we voted for Brexit and she had a majority!!! Stupid woman.

I'm not saying it needed to be called. Just that when she called it, it wasn't a gamble.

Nobody gave Corbyn a hope!

She wanted a greater majority (which people expected) so that the brexit negotiations would be free from disruption. I can see exactly why she did it. Likely she wont be needed to worry about such things for much longer though.

Can understand entirely why people are enjoying the egg in her face.

That being said, a split parliament is the worst we could of hoped for imo

Personally a crushing Tory majority is the worst I could have hoped for.

You never know, this might lead to a bit more compromise instead of the current system that seems to just please one section of society but utterly appaul another. I know the money markets don't like that sort of thing. But it may lead to a slightly now pleasant society.

Oh Lordy - who the hell was advising her? This is a monumental error

Pound falling
No stability
Brexit negotiations to stall

OMG as my son would say

I think they all look out for themselves first and foremost tbh. I would love to see a parliament when democracy and compromise worked, but i fear it will just be lots of contested issues with little getting sorted. Much like Obama suffered during his term.

Rumours on Twitter that she's about to resign.

She's deffo finished, it's just a matter of when she goes.

Saw on Twitter that the Tories lost every marginal seat she visited on the election campaign. But that may well be social media exaggeration.

Bojo? God help us in the Brexit negotiations with him at the helm.

I'll say one thing, I don't think you would of ever seen Maggie wearing red on an election night.
It's irrelevant, unimportant trivia, but looking at TM stood there waiting for results in her constituencey you could easily think she was the Labour candidate.

One thing that I do think is a bit silly is having all these joke candidates standing who are mostly deeply unpopular, there's no real need for them to have done this and they and are really just there for the sake of their ego.




Also not sure what the guy with the bucket on his head is doing either...

OMG

Trump in USA and Bojo in UK

Hollywood would have turned the script down!!

Am reminded of back to the future ... 'Reagan is an actor not a President'

Bojo? God help us in the Brexit negotiations with him at the helm.

I think the electorate has answered the op. May's campaign style, and an unpopular manifesto has seen an electorate thumb their nose at May's weak and wobbly.

Resignation?...Theresa just teeing it up for one final u-turn.

I think she'll try and hang on too but the party wont have it, hopeless campaign, her days are numbered. Only needs DUP on side to get her past 326 though. Think she'll try and grab that.

EU already ok with delaying Brexit talks so that 'urgency' is not nescessarily there for her to stay short term.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Well I never...

When you build a house it is best that you build it on rock and not on sand. Is Theresa May a rock on which a government can be built and Brexit negotiations fronted - or is she now sand?

Mmm, but doesn't he end up putting it in the water over and over again? (He does get Renee Russo though :thup

which is why I was hopeful for May when she became PM. But since then, with her stance on Brexit, she has seemed hell bent on driving a wedge between those who voted to Remain and those who voted to Leave - mouthing 'coming together' platitudes but almost guaranteed to create a riven, unstable and quite unpleasant society.

And sure enough that split becomes manifest in the support for the parties 43/41 - but with no landslide we can but hope that we have the basis of some compromise, not something that was on the minds of the 'you lost get over it' crowd.

The Tories under Cameron created this utter mess - and have now just exacerbated it under May.
