Celebgran you seem to be a perfect example that brainwashing of the cult type works. You say At least Theresa may gives one confidence in her ability. It seems to say to me that she is out of her depth and trying to deal with things beyond her capabilities - and I base this on evidence not what the Tories and/or the Mayteam tell me to think.
As Home Secretary she let in more EU immigrants in six years than the previous Labour Government did in 13. That would be great if it was what she intended to do but it really, really wasn't. In fact the same promise was made again and again ... and, another fact, again this time. So yes, she provided stability but it was the stability of not fulfilling what she had promised. I wonder how she will now, stably, not fulfil it if she is running the country? In this instance she blamed the EU even though we could actually have done more within the rules. She is now showing the stability of her nature by finding someone else to blame - usually Jeremy Corbyn.
Again, in the only office we have really known her in we have seen the closure of hundreds of police stations when she strongly showed how little she understands about community. In the last six years she showed her strength by sacking more than 16,000 police officers; during that time we have seen crime and anti-social behaviour rise rapidly - but in a stable manner of course.
As PM she flexed her political muscles to show her strength by taking on the High Court and the Supreme Court in a bid to put through the Brexit deal without a vote in parliament. In the stable manner we have grown to know she was beaten on just about every matter of law in the land.
She held back her strength for reasons best know to herself and said next to nothing about the growing threat of a North Korean nuclear arsenal and hasn’t made a single statement on the escalating conflict in Syria.
The stability she wants is that of the 1970s with a school system reform that we know doesn’t work (but it does keep people in their place). Education systems throughout the world have proved that grammar schools are relics that do not improve attainment or social mobility. Will her strength make her MPs vote for it in parliament - absolutely not.
In a rather underhand way - but strongly aiming to impose her will - she decided to introduce a schools funding formula that takes roughly £400 per student away from every single school but again, her own MPs are unlikely to support her on it - but this may become the new stability as she proposes things that will either never see the light of day of, if they do, she will lose.
... and the social care crisis, felt by many and crippling Local Authorities was so unimportant - well the people suffering are obviously not strong are they - that it wasn't even mentioned in her Government’s first Autumn Statement.
Then there is the devolved Government of Northern Ireland which has all but collapsed but she hasn’t found time in her diary to get over to Belfast to sort it out and help keep the stability it so needs.
On the day she triggered article 50 she suggested that if the EU deal was a bad one that she would accept no deal - is that really what people call strong? It sounds like a child who refuses to eat anything because they don't like what they have been offered knowing that eventually someone will help them out. No one will come to May's aid from the EU. She then went on to admit (in one of her many strongly made changes of mind) that a no deal would leave the UK unsafe and without proper intelligence sharing arrangements meaning a terrorist attack could be on the cards. This means however strong she wants us to believe she is she is not strong enough to say this is negotiation not a Neanderthal beating of the chest.
She strongly ruled out calling a General Election ELEVEN times because she said it wasn’t right to take the country’s focus away from the most important post-war negotiation. Then she wavered and changed her mind (again).
Now during the General Election she strongly insists that no journalist, member of the public or any opposition MP inconvenience her by asking her questions or calling on her to go on television and talk to the 65 million people she hopes to govern. She has stably continued to treat the voters in this way.
The Tories have persuade some that an economy that sends people into working poverty, without care, and limiting the pay of the ordinary person while enhancing the incomes of the rich is a strong economy - I would call that a broken economy but then I don't believe the propaganda.
Now May has tried to persuade the same people that she is both strong and stable. Look at the evidence; she is showing herself to be a person who is only happy in the Westminster bubble where people do as they are told and she can blame someone else if she gets it wrong. Strong and stable? Giving us confidence in her ability? Pull the other one!
and may the best man win on the day!
