Theresa May as Prime Minister
Curious to know, what does everyone think of Theresa May as Prime Minister?
Her popularity ratings have nosedived since the General Election and her future is very uncertain at the moment, and I wondered what people thought of her policies and her as a person? And should she stay or go this year?
For me, I am a May convert. Never used to like her. But since she became PM, she has carried out in terms of Brexit and other things actual conservative policies which is so... nice after 13 years of New Labour terror followed by... continuity New Labour under Cameron. For the first time in my lifetime, there's a PM I actually like and approve of. It's weird.
I also like her personality, or lack of personality. A lot of people say she can't connect with people - and that's completely true. But I like the fact she's boring and hardly seen. I like the fact I don't have to see her hugging huskies in Antarctica, chopping up onions in the kitchen on YouTube and the fact we never see or hear from her husband Philip May. The sight of Cherie Blair and Samantha Cameron gegging in on everything used to do my head in. We're a constitutional monarchy, not a presidential republic. The fact we hear so much from cabinet (Johnson, Davis, Hammond, Rudd) shows that cabinet government is finally back. Hooray.
What about you?
