Tory Government

So I believe we have the worst ever uk government so out of all of the ministers who would you sack, not let them resgine like TM does. Full on sackings so they take the blame for their failings.

What bugs me about this post is that, here's an opportunity to talk about UK politics, instead of the usual trump tripe (hey, I like that phrase - trump tripe - it has a ring to it) that usually swamps this site, and I've got very little to add.

As others have said, Corbyn is too left-wing. As is the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, John McDonnell. And, don't even get me started on the walking, talking disaster zone that is Diane Abbott.

Then there's the Tories that have already been listed and mentioned. Again, nothing much that I can add.

Apart from one little thing. I do feel for Theresa May at times. Like Corbyn, she has no clue on how to deal with the media in a positive way. But, unlike Corbyn, she inherited an impossible situation after David Cameron resigned.

Cameron gave the British public the opportunity to decide whether we wanted to stay in the EU or not. When that choice was made, he bottled it. I believe that, had he stayed on, much of the crap that is plaguing British politics today, just wouldn't exist.

@room101 Cameron's position was untenable after the referendum vote. I know you and I respectfully disagree on some things and agree on other things though so there you go.

@room101 I am no fan of the tories but felt much safer with David Cameron at the helm than Teresa May. Teresa is in a difficult position with brexit but her hard approach and pandering to the more extreme right of the party is largely to blame for that.

@Burnley123 Cameron's position was difficult to be sure, but not untenable......in my view. He had gone to the EU and asked for reforms. His requests were refused. He then put it to the British public. They opted for Brexit. He then could have gone back to Brussels and said,

"This is what your refusals have caused. Now let's work together to sort this mess out. For the benefit of both the UK and the EU alike."

His resignation shut down any opportunity for mutually beneficial dialogue.

@room101 Well lets not feel sorry for May she put herself forward for the job, she wanted to be PM, she wanted to be better than Thatcher, she is probbaly even worse than Brown as PM.

I agree with all you said and also the part about DC he should have stayed on to sort the tory party and the tory party policies as he would have been stronger

@fazer1k Well put for me the tories have always looked after the elite ans sold off everything to thier friends but with TM she trying to be everyone's friend in her party rather than saying as she wants to be a bloody difficult woman. She needs to stop putting her job ,party first and start looking at putting the country first because sooner or later there will be a GE and things need to start being sorted and all of this from leavers threatening to resign, she should just say ok i accept your resignation and put someone else in place.
