Quoted from barralad


I think you'll find without too much research that Leadsom was one of the fronters for the Leave campaign..


That I already know
Although if I remember rightly she started out as a Bremainer

May, better name for headlines. Likewise Eagle for Labour. Lots you can do with those names.

It's like a choice between syphilis and gonorrhea, really.

Looks like it is going to be May, in any case. Probably the lesser of two evils as Leadsom really is pretty clueless in general - the woman suggested small businesses shouldn't have to offer maternity leave!

Quite amusing that May's claim to fame is deporting Abu Qatada to Jordan. This is a man who was imprisoned without charge for 9 of 13 years in the UK and was then found not guilty of all charges when finally deported!

Ah well. Whoever wins will probably be in power for at least 9 years now the Gang of 172 have decided to split the opposition, God help us. Will there be anything in the country left to sell off to the cheapest foreign bidder by then, I wonder?

That must have been the easiest leadership contest ever. May the best of a very sad bunch. At least it wasn't Boris the spider or that anus Gove.

I  don't pretend to know much about politics but how on earth can you have someone who wanted us to remain in the EU leading the country?

The power of democracy in action. The new PM being elected by 180 tory MP's.

It's because we don't have a grown up electoral system, unlike most of the civilised world. FPTP is a real joke which leads to 'personality' overtaking policy in importance.

The fact that UKIP and the Greens got over 15% of the vote yet only picked up 2 out of 650 seats shows that something is badly wrong with our 'democracy'.
