Pretty standard practice under the 'supporting another candidate' rule. However that formalism stands against the fact they never actually got round to sacking Danczuk, or a certain ex-prime minister who killed hundreds of thousands.

Looking at those majorities the only way the NHA would actually get in is if Jeremy Hunt stood down and then shot the entire Conservative party anyway.

Even then they'd elect the nearest corpse wearing a blue rosette anyway.

So many particulars. So many questions.
they know she's complete shit on the fly. Thats why, awkward questions would just bring out the akward darth may we all so know and love from her years as home sec.

The may brand is well strong. I don't know why we're suggesting she isn't good on her feet. Where has she failed publicly?
Gotta start somewhere...

Just because the brand's strong doesn't mean she is. She's a cheap jewellery chain waiting for its ratner moment

It's not going to happen in the next month. May is a good thing for them - no matter how many failed memes saying strong and stable. Concentrate on her.

She's a superb candidate.

By focusing on strong leadership she is making a rod for her own back

Aha. But a superb victor? Am not so sure

Maybe, but it's one reason why the tories will walk this. She sells good.

I am.
I think these are the most depressing thing about the campaign so far.

christ I'm dense sometimes- the stable bit is blatantly pointing to labours divided house shambles. How has this just occurred?

I'm worried about you now.
She's spent the last few months dodging every question with "HAHAHA LOOK AT YOUR PARTY!" on PMQ's...

beat me to it but article here anyway.
Theresa May announces she plans to bring back fox hunting
I am presuming she feels she can pretty much say what she likes.

slight system overdrive
I find it interesting that May is so popular not in spite of appearing harsh and a bit aggressive in both policy and presentation but because of it. Corbyn's lack of aggression and lack of desire to kick his party in line seems to count against him. Much as I hate to say it, May seems to have got it right with posing as a strong leader. Apparently that's one of the main things people want in a PM.
I guess I find it disturbing on the psychological level, but also it seems to show people pay no attention to how government actually works. We don't have a presidential government that particularly requires 'strong leadership'. The PM of this country could go on holiday for a year and all you'd really need is someone to chair cabinet meetings and make the odd casting vote on policies the ministers/civil servants are coming up with. The country would just go on running as normal. To a lot of people this seems to be irrelevant compared to how PMs present themselves.

What would Badgers do?
Maybe it's to keep everyone distracted from the inevitable fuck up that Brexit is going to be?
