Then there were two.

Gove gone.

Tory PM is now between Theresa May and Andrea Leadsome with May still well in the lead and Gove coming in at a poor third place.

Great....wonderful.
What a choice.

Re: Then there were two.

I am interested to hear you folks views. I was never a Tory. Glad to see its two women though. History in the making.

Re: Then there were two.

Andrea Leadsome would be my choice she gives off good vibes and seems fired up to make things happen, with an optimistic outlook that could rub off on others. I like the way she pointed out that foreign nationals who were working here had nothing to fear from the brexit vote. Something that Theresa May would not commit to.
She certainly appears to have the drive......But it won't be our decision will it....

Re: Then there were two.

None of the above, still trying to recover from the wicked witch of the west.

Re: Then there were two.

I knew there was something I didn't like about that woman.
She's too sweet to be wholesome .
I wish people/ politicians / wouldn't keep going on about reassuring foreign nationals here .
I want to hear reassurances about British nationals .

Re: Then there were two.

I'm no Tories fan either..
But for me I think you'd have to go with Theresa May

She actually knows about politics which is unusual
And she has held the office of Home Secretary for 3 years
Something all of her predecessors have only managed to do for a year

Re: Then there were two.

Leadsom is either a liar or a fantasist re.her CV and has extremist Christian attitudes that would not sit well with a PM. She also has very worrying ideas about workers' rights or, to be more precise, abolishing them. She is very close to UKIP and has links to wealthy off shore Tory donors.
May's main claim to fame seems to be her love of expensive shoes. She wants to withdraw from the ECHR although she realise that might not be easy to get through parliament.
Our next PM is to be elected by a select bunch of 150000 Tories and will not face the electorate until 2020 by which time the system will be so tweaked as to ensure their victory. Viva democracy!

Re: Then there were two.

Another black mark against Andrea Leadsom - she wants to abolish the law restricting hunting and allow the countryside alliance unrestricted access to hunting - a despicable hobby, since it cannot concievably be described as a 'sport'.
