The next Prime Minister of Britain

We don't elect prime ministers.

We elect a party and the party is the one that elects its leader.
We don't elect a party, we elect MPs. And if MPs were the ones deciding the next PM, then I wouldn't have an issue. But instead, we've got a select group of unelected party members deciding it instead.
 
Leadsom vs May...?

Not much difference, so from thinking on it in a related way...




Leadsom. Better curves, bigger tits and slightly more shaggable in a GILF sort of way.






There, politics made simpler for everyone.

If proven the Murdoch rag The Times is misquoting Leadsom over her claim saying she's better qualified to be a PM as she's had children. She'll get more support from grass members believing she's being stitched up.

She's also got the nicest teeth you'll ever come across.
 
If cruella de may wins you get a mini thatcher who we give not a toss about the people of this country, if leadsom wins you get a far right crank, all those screaming for a return to centre politics will have no one to look to on either side.

No matter who wins from these 2 the country loses

They've released the audio which backs up how the interview has been reported. It seems that Leadsom is really complaining about the headline accompanying the interview rather than the interview itself.

Leadsom starts that part of the interview by saying that it would be really horrible to make an issue out of her having children but May not. But then she goes on to do exactly that!
 
Leadsom has done herself no favours with those comments about May not having a family. Apparently The Mays wanted children, but were unable to have them. It wasn't some kind of cold hearted career choice by them. The comments come across as mean, to me anyway.

Spot on. There was no misquoting. It was part of Leasdom's strategy. It might have worked for Tory Activists - time will tell.

In my head I have this vision of Ted Rogers with Dusty Bin in 3-2-1. Leasdon might be more Dusty Bin than "look at what you could have won."
 
Leadsom is a fucking shambles. What she said in the interview was poor, her reaction to try to sort out the mess was even worse. She's only truly been in the spotlight for a couple of weeks and she doesn't appear up to it at all. God knows how she would stand up to the proper test of running the country when she doesn't seem able to negotiate the first couple of weeks of the leadership election without things unravelling. She seems to lack the composure and gravitas required IMO.
 
Leadsom would make a great Spitting Image puppet.

Her 'don't take this the wrong way but...' opening to the quotes was the equivalent of 'I'm not a racist but...'

She's not up to the job. As PM every word is scrutinised.

A lot of the new found Tories on here might be a bit gutted that Bojo is not in the race and the feel obliged to support Leadsom.

Also, if we were applying for jobs and were found to be exaggerating our track records, our applications would be binned. Why are the standards of the Cons so much lower!
 
IIRC correctly every bloody answer she gave during the brexit debates began with "As a mother...."

Our female George W!

Just woke up. will listen to the tape.

As an aside Edwina Currie might have nailed it when interviewed on Nolan last night. The interview starts around 01:15:00 in.
