Dekers Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm not impressed, but then again I'm not impressed with any of the candidates, so as usual, its the least bad. Or is she the least bad, time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 How ironic that now we will have an unelected (by the public) leader, like those loathed EU leaders... Nobody ever votes for the leaders at a general election they vote for the party. She as an individual is elected within her constituency unlike the EU officials and she could lose her seat at the next election (as lots of big names did in the last election).

panoma1 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 How ironic that now we will have an unelected (by the public) leader, like those loathed EU leaders... MP's are voted in by the UK electorate, MP's and the Party vote in their leader (who is chosen from amongst elected MP's) who if the party wins a general election becomes PM........nothing like EU commissioners.........they are unelected leaders.....the UK can democratically get rid of any MP at the ballot box, but can't get rid of the unelected EU Commissioners!..............why?..........Because they were not democratically elected!

Ah, you haven't quite grasped the fundamentals of British parliamentary democracy have you? Nice effort though, at least you're trying!

Gordon R Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) I heard it on the radio and Googled it, as I found it hard to accept. Labour, who have had two of the previous three, have no regard for their own history and rather foolishly keep demanding a General Election. I would be astonished if they won more seats - oblivion seems a more likely outcome. Edited July 13, 2016 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrM Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) See May has made Boris Foreign Secretary. We now have a May and a Hammond in the Cabinet. Any MPs called Clarkson who could be appointed? Haha Edited July 13, 2016 by MrM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I find this concerning, i doint think we have anything usefull to learn from Sharia law. Earlier this year the Home Secretary sparked controversy when she told Britons they could benefit from the teachings of Sharia - despite the courts being renowned for forcing women to stay with abusive men.
