Nonetheless spectacular losses by Labour and UKIP and the alleged Liberal upsurge on the back of Remoaners all voting for them hasn't happened so far. Whether or not the same results will play out in the general election time will tell but if it does she'll be the new Maggie.
The EU bureaucrats make for decent villains. They can't help themselves. Juncker is somewhat Blofeld'esque at the very least.
It doesn't hurt that the opposition leader doesn't have what it takes.
May's playing her cards well, I have to give her credit.
Exactly.
Money before humanity. Profit before education and health. Despicable party voted for by the selfish, the greedy, the lucky, the intolerant and the fortunate.
Thete must be a lot of uncompassionate people around then, given the local election results.
I think you are thinking of Thatcherism more though than the more moderate brand of conservatism we have today.
School budgets have been slashed. An average student will now leave uni with around 50k of debt. There's nothing moderate about selling off parts of the NHS to Richard Branson
As tony benn said. You don't tax people just because they're educated. Your tax them because they are rich.
I might not agree with everything he says, I probably don't agree with everything anyone says... but I like this short clip as a summary, if you can ignore the 1 minute bit in the middle of it by Michael Moore.
Hardly an environment for policy. More one for anger and lashing out.
This is where Nationalism can take hold. Having said that, I'm not against the power of patriotism and national pride. It just has to be wielded carefully.
The traditional left/right debate bores me to no end. Ultimately the right are wrong to want to dismantle social programs and the left are wrong to want to keep them as they are. What's required is a way to keep them but make them far more efficient and subject to market pressures to ensure competitiveness. This is what's normally lost in the debates.
I think that's a cheap argument to be honest
Watch from 4.10
He was also against the EU which might surprise people.
The notion that if you vote Tory you are some sort of inhuman Nazi is pretty tiresome. Most people just want to see everyone paying their way rather than leeching off the state.
For the record I have a lot of time for Tony Benn. I don't agree with 99% of what he said but he was a man of principle who stood up for what he believed in. If there were more like him rather than pathetic self serving suits full of bugger all like Cameron, Osborne and the infinity of Eurocrats then we might not be in the state we are now.
I would agree with most of that too. I also think that if more people were given an exciting education that catered for and appealed to their individual skill sets, gifts and interests, more people would see the value in education and not be turned off by being made to feel like failures because of their lack of ability in two

You never know where you stand with wishy-washy liberals though.
Where you always know where you stand with the Tories and that for many is not a good place.
Yes many that vote Conservative aren't selfish and inconsiderate to other peoples problems but that doesn't stop that party having always been for one section of the public and always giving them an easy time while blaming the ills of the country on another section.
Not forgetting this is the party introduced the so called trickle down method.
Maybe they should get the top 1% to pay a fairer rate of tax and the likes of Google and Amazon contribute the billions they really should be paying but no we'll blame it on immigration and the unemployed.
At least Corby offers and opposition, Labour previously was just a diet Tory option, Margaret Thatcher said her greatest achievement was Tony Blair and New Labour.
You might not like him and what he stands for but at least it's an alternative, like my our friend above says one party politics is not healthy for the country.
Given that paucity of choice I think most sane people will go for Teresa.
Using brexit as a self serving opportunity to have a general election she has gone way down in my book, and she wasn't high to start
I guess we'll see and I'm all ready for a depressing Tory landslide but don't forget what has happened lately, surely you can see when the mainstream media thinks things are a foregone conclusion and how they played out.
Look at Brexit, look at Trump.
Also a politician with humanity now there is a novelty, Teresa is also making it all about Brexit entirely, barely any mention of anything else.
All likely she's played a genius move going for now, it's much smarter than 2020, because Brexit will be in effect and if the initial effects are not good and many people have suffered they'll be out for her blood, this way she gets 2 years on that and hopefully things will have started to turn round, well turn round for some that is.
Lets face it May is the best option in a bad bunch, don't think this is down her being outright best choice no questions, she has no opposition and that's while she'll more than likely get back in.
Thought I'd love it June 8th she becomes one of the shortest term Prime Ministers in recent history, I suppose I can live in my alternative reality as I'm not fooling myself that it is likely to happen.
Though the Independent has talked about people tactical voting just ensure there isn't a Tory landslide, I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch but then again your preferred option is more likely than mine but who knows another coalition could be on the cards.
May faces a tough audience in some parts of the country but that's democracy. It would become stifling and unhealthy if everyone had the same type of politics within a country!
