jmothecat Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Are either even high enough profile? One of them taking over gives me flashbacks of Paul Hegarty taking over United just because he was there. Both are very high profile aren't they? Ahead of them you have Cameron, Osborne and Boris I would say they would comfortably be fourth and fifth place. IDS next, then Hunt, Fallon, Grayling, and Hammond making up the rest of the top ten. Arguably Patel and Greening there or there abouts. Gove and May are huge though.

welshbairn Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 May and Osbourne as Chancellor would really f**k off the Brexiteers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotbawmad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 People are way too quick to assume May will likely win this. We'll have to see what happens when she's grilled on her wider policies. However, I won't disagree with anyone who says it's likely to come down to Gove vs May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I won't disagree with anyone who says it's likely to come down to Gove vs May. It depends on whether Gove has been damaged by knifing Boris. May vs Leadsom is equally possible and that could be a very feisty contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thing, whether you like him or not. Most people who follow politics know what Gove's positions are across a wide range of issues. However, it's not very clear what May's wider views are.

However, it's not very clear what May's wider views are. Gow is an ex editorial writer for the Times. He can come up with convincing arguments for either side of an issue given 10 minutes warning. I wouldn't trust him an inch. He was also an actor. May has managed to keep the Home Office on track for longer than anyone else in history.

Yank Mike Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'd heard of Boris Johnson before, but none of these other folks. Figured I'd look them up on wiki. Michael Gove: Oops! The liberation of Iraq has actually been that rarest of things – a proper British foreign policy success. Next year, while the world goes into recession, Iraq is likely to enjoy 10% GDP growth. Alone in the Arab Middle East, it is now a fully functioning democracy with a free press, properly contested elections and an independent judiciary ... Sunni and Shia contend for power in parliament, not in street battles. The ingenuity, idealism and intelligence of the Iraqi people can now find an outlet in a free society rather than being deployed, as they were for decades, simply to ensure survival in a fascist republic that stank of fear. — Michael Gove, Michael Gove: Triumph of freedom over evil[122] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomhill Ultra Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'd have Hegarty as PM before Gove or May. I don't even think I'm joking. 'Tough on Dee's, Tough on the causes of dees' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Anyone who followed what Theresa May was up to at the Home Office would either conclude that she's evil or was willing to repress her principles and enact evil policies. I'd rather have Gove, but ideally they'd all lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDP Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Agree with that view about May. Gove is an idealist nutcase as well though, His legacy at education is the utter destruction of of teacher morale and shambolic reforms. He is also a prize c**t.

welshbairn Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Andrea Leadsome 3 years ago: "I'm going to nail my colours to the mast here: I don't think the UK should leave the EU. I think it would be a disaster for our economy and it would lead to a decade of economic and political uncertainty at a time when the tectonic plates of global success are moving. "Economic success is the vital underpinning of every happy nation. The well-being we all crave goes hand in hand with economic success." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Theresa May has ruled out a General Election until 2020 if she wins. Theresa May would basically be nearly 4 years as PM before the next election. She has also ruled out another Brexit referendum. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-rules-our-early-general-election-or-second-eu-referendum-if-she-becomes-conservative-a7110656.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always laugh when individual politicians make all of these promises, when they count for nothing without having the support of enough MPs.

Shades75 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 So a Scotland, still within the UK, outwith the EU and with Theresa May as PM? I simply don't understand anyone who would be happy with that state of affairs. I know they exist, but they shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
