Ten reasons why I believe Theresa May should resign

Recommended Posts

The result of the Election has left us with a mess in the Governance of the country and a Party clinging onto power with the support of a Terrorist Sympathising ultra Right-Wing party in Ulster.

 

Whilst I recognise that the Conservatives were the biggest party (In terms of votes and seats) and fully support their right to attempt to form the next Government I don’t believe this should be with the current P.M in charge and here’s my 10 reasons for saying this (feel free to add others).

 

1. Calling of the Election- After repeatedly saying she wouldn’t call one she (co-incidentally when it matched an over 20 point lead in polls) following a walk in the Welsh hillside decided to call one when she had a perfectly workable majority.

2. An opponent who was loathed by huge numbers of people- She was taking on an opponent who had the lowest competency ratings amongst the Electorate that I can call

3. An opponent who was not supported by his own Party- His own MP’s had no confidence in him and who have been very lukewarm in the support of him during this campaign

4. Dianne Abbot- She was handed on a plate two huge gaffes from the Shadow Home Secretary from which I couldn’t see Labour coming back

5. Refusal to take part in a debate- A huge own goal by not taking part in this. I fail to see how performing and doing badly can be any worse than refusing to take part so just do it and fight your corner

6. Support from the media- Walking past newspaper stands on Election Day it was almost all persuading you to vote for her and Sky News coverage was a disgrace with more air time being given to her visiting empty farmhouses than Corbyns rallies in front of thousands

7. Huge funding from businesses- Rumour has it that she had 10 times as much to spend on her campaign than Labour

8. Losing a 20-25 point Opinion Poll lead- I can’t recall a Party ever leading by that much in polls, let alone nearly losing it all in 6-7 weeks

9. Her Campaign strategy- She just didn’t clink with the Electorate, she seemed uncomfortable in front of the cameras, big crowds and meeting people

10. Her policies- Her idea to re-introduce Fox Hunting appalled lots of people and the idea to introduce the “Dementia Tax” naffed off a lot of her own supporters

 

In my eyes all of the above were either errors of her own making, or the provision of opportunities given to her to assist in getting the huge majority she craved and she has just failed miserably.

 

The consequence of the above has now resulted in the current chaos and with a Prime Minister having to rely on the support of a Terrorist Sympathising, Ant-Gay, Anti-Gay and Creationist Party to continue governing and she should do the decent thing and resign.

Some will say legitimately what/who would replace her and that’s down to the Tory party. I see two options more preferable than this:

 

The first is someone else within the Party who has got the leadership qualities needed for Governing and Brexit.

 

The other is some form of Government of National Unity for 2 years to get Brexit sorted before going to the Polls again.

According to a paper this morning (may be the Mail) she has already offered to resign, but will not be allowed to

You do know she won don't you?. 56 more MPs than labour and approaching 80000 more votes than labour.

 

Half the stuff you mention is nothing to do with TM anyway. One will perhaps counter that if TM performed so badly and yet Corbyn still lost he should have his own 10 reasons of why you should resign. After all how could he possibly lose to that right?

 

 

Yes it was a close call and no doubt she didn't get the results she hoped for - but she's still won. Coalitions has happened before and will happen again. Perhaps if the other parties were not acting like spoilt children who have spat their dummy out they would have been first choice for a coalition partner over the dup. Alas they chose their position that they didnt want to play with Teresa in the playground so now they're out of the friend group and will have to sit in the back of the class with no attention and no power.

 

We are where we are and the prime minister has a job to do. Unless Corbyn is preparing for a ludicrous four way thing, a government needs to be formed.

 

I am certainly no fan of the dup nor the most controversial of their policies. But despite what they hysterical twitterati and media moguls are spewing all over the Internet they are a recognised political party in Northern Ireland and is part of this Union. If people actually bothered to look beyond the headlines they will see that some of their policies actually more in the Socialist category than those Theresa May would usually go for. They are even publicly vocal for a soft brexit just like the seemingly new JC was during his campaigning.

 

Compromise is always difficult but isn't that what government is supposed to be about.

 

Enough time has been spent with the hysterics. There is work to be getting on with.

 

More disruption with another leadership battle, new face to be paraded around and inevitable reshuffle is just going to cause more neglect and delay to the already very difficult brexit negotiations.

I have one reason why she should not resign.

 

1. She caused this insane mess and she should stick around long enough to clear up after herself.

 

That will put her a few points ahead of Cameron, Johnson and Gove in the race to avoid being the most hapless political leader of the last century.

This one is going to be a bit odd though. What are your thoughts on the Democratic Unionst Party?

I agree as it happens

 

Nobody won. It's a hung parliament

With asking the DUP, and allegedly seeking to formalise the coalition currently, she has breached the principle of neutrality (by Westminster, about NI politics, to avoid favouring either side over the other) underscoring the GFA. Don't kid yourself that SinnFein and its harder elements, will just let this slide, if that coalition looks to be lasting.

 

Yet another demonstration of how clueless and reckless she is (and/or her handlers are). This has to stop soon.

 

That said, she might just have been left on political life support to take the hit of the first few weeks' worth of Brexit negotiation, and be made to fall on the Brexit bill sword.

Even worse, if a power sharing deal isn't brokered, NI returns to direct rule from Westminster. A Westminster government that is controlled by the Tories and the DUP. That's an order of magnitude more trouble than a bit of undue influence.
