HaydnH Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Hopefully this won't go the same way as the Brexit thread... Yay or Nay?

HaydnH Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 In the absence of anyone closely credible..? I guess judging her against previous PMs might be an idea considering the complete lack of direct competition at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 She's by far the best of the shower they put forward. The number two choice couldn't even get through a week without upsetting gay people and the childless. She didn't seem too keen on publishing her tax affairs either, but to be honest I don't actually agree with that anyway. If HMRC are content with her return and it's legally compliant it's not up to the public to review whether or not it's "ethical". Whatever the hell that means! Gove will be fuming right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 She's Pro-EU. So no. And aside from that, when the going gets tough, she tend to hide. Literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Not sure but did seem the best of the bunch, anyone who has held down the Home Office for 6 years must be hopefully doing something right. For me there are 2 good things, Gove got what he deserved and much more importantly she can get on with the job of sorting out the current mess. 9 weeks saved, not much but the idea that we couldn't do anything until the Tory party election was over was a bit irksome. Just heard she should be PM by Wednesday. Good luck, we'll all need it I think. Interesting times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Her comments earlier about putting Conservatives 'at service' of working people and wanting to put employees on companies boards of major firms is interesting... I'd expect those kind of noises to come more from the Labour camp than the tories... "New Tory" maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm not a Tory but I'd say a safe pair of hands, it will be interesting to see her cabinet. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Better than any of the alternatives, that's for sure. I think she'll do a fine job. Will be interesting to see who she puts in her cabinet though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Anyone scared that, when women are given a big chunk of power, they might weild it with a heavy hand in order to prove something? Make their stamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Indeed. She'll probably attend all meetings in a suit of armour with 8ft broadsword. I bet things will get tougher for men with children who are no longer with their mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my opinion and i was just curious about people's thoughts on it if I raised it. I'm not concerned.

grumpyoldjanner Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 As someone that works in one of the public sector areas she has ran into the ground as Home Secretary I can't say I am too excited about the prospect, although as mentioned, she is sadly the most credible candidate. Hopefully take at least a couple of years for her to sort out selling my job to G4S with the Brexit mess she has to sort out first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
