Zapp Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yes, lets have more political giants like Blair, Brown and others. Their being men meant they were fantastic for the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Thatcher wasn't a disaster, she was ahead of her time and she knew exactly what the score was where those conniving eurocrats were concerned. So, yes please... more Maggie Edited July 8, 2016 by Doc Holliday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Can't edit the last post for some reason but what I wanted to add was that before you accuse me being a Tory, I'm not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrM Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Can't do any worse than the last few PMs we've had! In what ways do you feel Maggie was a disaster? Edited July 8, 2016 by MrM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Maggie did what she said she would do, be it roght or wrong for the country. She didn't say one thing and do another. And as zapp rightly put, the last few men have been great havent they!!! What would be wrong with a female PM exactly??? The question /statement to start this this thread, is in my opinion a poor one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I thought Maggie Thatcher was as mad as a box of frogs, but she was the best Prime Minister we have had in almost half a century. I don't see how gender comes into the equation. Best person for the job is the criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 It looks as though this is a foregone conclusion. The only question I have is which is the best to have to lead our withdrawal from the EU - one that was Bremain or the other that was Brexit?

mick miller Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 May strikes me as a nutter, bit of a control freak, will likely want legislation to be able to look in everybody's pant draw at some point, not really for Brexit. Leadsom, who knows? Getting smeared a bit so likely not 'the establishments' favourite character. Seems to want more free market trade, but equally wants to repeal some of the employee rights for those that work for small firms (arguably, though this isn't great, a lot of small firms buckle under the weight of providing the same rights as employees of larger firms enjoy - I can see how this would encourage start ups). Not sure if best place to negotiate our Brexit. Flip a coin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I despise Thatcher....but then again I despise Bliar and Brown also!........I have no gender bias, if they are up to the job? Leadsom is aware the hunting act was a class issue that has done nothing for animal welfare, so has undertaken to repeal it! Honouring the Tory election Manifesto promise!

ditchman Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 i havnt a problem with either sex.............my only worry is that Teresa May is a hatchet woman/henchman..........all she has ever done is cuts..........someone has always been winding her up and pointing her in the direction they want her to go............so the worry is not as much her but the people yanking her strings...... i would like to see Gisela Stuart (labour MP) be part of the negociation team regards EU exit........

keg Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I thought Maggie Thatcher was as mad as a box of frogs, but she was the best Prime Minister we have had in almost half a century. I don't see how gender comes into the equation. Best person for the job is the criteria. Which is why i find it so funny that Harriet Harperson goes on about giving women a chance in politics and female only shortlists. Maggie didn't need that, just got on with it. You might not have liked her but you knew where you stood with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm more concerned that we are going to need to wait a further 2 months for the Tory faithful to choose between these two, who even look the same +/- a pie or two. One has allegedly worked in the real world but was a banker , the other has allegedly been in politics for a couple of decades . The queen should step in, flick a coin and select one of them at random and tell them in no uncertain terms to get on with Invading France Leaving the EU; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Amanda Leadsome has a twinkle in her eye, so gets my vote on that alone. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 It looks as though this is a foregone conclusion. The only question I have is which is the best to have to lead our withdrawal from the EU - one that was Bremain or the other that was Brexit? Not at all 60% of party members voted leave do you really think they would want that useless immigrant EU loving cow May to get in? The majority of our traitorous EU loving MP's voted for her because they don't want democracy they want her to keep us in the EU in all but name which she no doubt will if she gets in.

rodp Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I've lost track of all this now. Do the MP's narrow it down to a couple of contenders then the tory members vote one in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
