Mrs May was my tip for next leader of the Conservative Party over a year ago.
All in all not a bad choice for the Conservatives, but a very difficult position to fill under present circumstances.

A perfect time for a united Labour P
arty to gain lost ground, tho' it seems career prospects are more important to the Parliamentary Party members.   They should remember that without the backing of the membership they are going nowhere.

If Mrs May manages to handle the problems she inherits she could have an extremely long innings.

Well Bozo middle 'n' leg, I WANTED an election when Blair resigned so don't bloody blame me, pal. For all the crap we've heard about the EU "democratic deficit," this lot really takes the biscuit. This person has been crowned by fewer than 200 MPs in circumstances that couldn't have been more different from the ones prevailing at the last election if we'd tried. She's going to have to carry that baggage for the next three-plus years unless she calls an election, and, since she'd win anyway, I really don't know why she doesn't legitimise her position by doing so. Still, as Kevin says, let's hope that this bloody charlatan makes the same mistake and gets the same result. And we CAN have an election, despite that silly five-year bollix.

She does look so soothing when set alongside Gove and Leadsom though, doesn't she? Jesus Christ on a bloody bike.

And remember her bright idea of having vans drive round in London with giant billboards aimed at people without the proper papers "Go Home or Face Arrest".

Thatcher come again. I only hope there are enough people who clearly remember the original to build a tsunami of opposition.

Some of us will never forget May as the Home Secretary who refused to stop the deportation to Mauritius of a teenage girl who had been about to sit her A-levels, while her mother and brother were allowed to remain in Britain. The poor terrified girl was held in custody like a criminal until an airline could be found to take her, BA having quite rightly refused.

Not having an election when Blair resigned was a major error. So was it when the same mistake was made when Callaghan replaced Wilson.

I hope Theresa May makes the same mistake, and gets the same result - defeat at the next election.

It's a bit more complicated this time, since the law now insists there can't be a fresh election under five years, without two thirds of the commons voting for it. But of course the law requiring that can always be repealed on a bare majority. (We really do have remarkably bent constitutional arrangements - for example, there's nothing to stop a government with a reliable house of commons from extending the life of parliament as long as it wishes...)

You labour people are never happy, why did you not have a general election when Blair resigned??? There is a Conservative government until the next general election - I laugh!!!

Cor, aren't we all glad that she got the job and not that horrid Andrea. Why, next to her Theresa May positively looks like our knight in shining armour to the rescue. But she isn't. She presided over the failure of Cameron's vacuous promise to cut immigration to the tens of thousands, then lied about it. In 2007, when Gordon Brown was handed the prime minister's job in circumstances just like this, she sneeringly suggested that he was ‘running scared of the people’s verdict’ when he refused to call a general election. The woman is poison. Nothing will improve under her. There should be an election.
