"why did you not have a general election when Blair resigned???""

Well, for a start it was not up to me. Had it been, I would have called one and Brown made a big mistake not going to the country as a PM cannot rule without a mandate (which the EU ref was most certainly not); it didn't work last time, it won't this time.


May is hard to read. She seems progressive in some matters such as voting for gay marriage, but then seems to be a bit nasty when it comes to immigration etc. Surely she's the lesser of two evils though, Leadsom was a typical Little Englander tory and these are hopefully becoming gradually extinct... perhaps.
