Theresa May becomes next British Prime Minister

[Buy my mixtape fam]

So, Theresa May is now set to become the next British Prime Minister. I don't personally follow British politics, so I have no idea who she is or what her policies are. From looking around on Reddit, the opinions seem very mixed. What are your thoughts on her? also hide your porn if you live in england boys

So far (according to the BBC):

 

Former Chancellor turned egomaniac George Osborne - sacked

Former Justice Secretary Michael Gove - sacked

Former Education Secretary Nicky Morgan - sacked

Former Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb - resigned

Former Culture Secretary John Whittingdale - sacked

Ex-Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers - says she declined an offer of another role

Former chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Letwin - sacked

Mark Harper has left the position of Chief Whip - resigned

 

Chancellor of the Exchequer - Philip Hammond

Foreign Secretary - Boris Johnson

Home Secretary - Amber Rudd

Defence Secretary - Michael Fallon

Health Secretary - Jeremy Hunt

Secretary of State for Exiting the EU - David Davis

Justice Secretary - Liz Truss

Education Secretary - Justine Greening

Secretary of State for International Trade - Liam Fox

Transport Secretary - Chris Grayling

Chief Whip - Gavin Williamson

Conservative Party chairman - Patrick McLoughlin

Leader of the House of Lords - Baroness Evans

 

Pretty meh overall, but David Davis should do a great job as Brexit minister and Boris Johnson's political career remains intact. Meanwhile the Shadow Cabinet is still nonexistant.

 

edit:

 

lmao Schulz is pissed. People seem to forget that Boris has experience in regards to international relations, and that his Nazi comparison isn't a fantasy. Especially with the current treatment of southern Europe and Merkel's extensive powers.

 

whose Teresa may?

 

le evil Tory scum!!! PM who took over from David Cameron (who spent £9m of taxpayers money on failed propaganda + let his chancellor promise a phony punishment budget) after he resigned.

 

Basically you've got:

 

Conservatives - centrist/centre-right. Gets hate from the left for things like "you've increased the amount of people relying on food banks etc" - likely due to Labour not even bothering to refer people to food banks. Also cut taxes for the poor.

 

Labour - used to be centre-left/centrist, now embroiled in a civil war between the militant hard-left (the cult of Corbyn) and the centre-left. A Stalinist purge SDP v2 a real possibility. Economically incompetent. Like to chuck money at things (such as the NHS) and just hope that the problem goes away, which would've resulted in us becoming the new Greece. Encouraged excessive mass immigration from the EU under Blair in return for easy Labour votes, which led to harsher restrictions on non-EU migrants.

 

Lib Dems - centrist, pro-EU, will possibly draft their version of this

 

UKIP - centre-right/right-wing, possibly similar to the Republicans before Trump and his stupid wall - although you could argue that the European right-wing is the same as the American left-wing. Spent ~20 years campaigning for us to leave the EU. Will likely elect the first mixed-race leader.

 

Greens - hippies

 

BNP - far-right racists

 

SNP - Scottish Nationalists who simply blame everything on Westminster whilst simultaneously making Scotland a worse place to live in. Unlike the EU, the UK is a union that actually works.

 

UUP/DUP/Sinn Fein - Northern Irish parties

 

Plaid Cymru - a non-entity

 

edit:

 

lmao Labour have made Emily bloody Thornberry shadow Brexit Secretary - as if they could be any more of a laughing stock. Should've given the role to Gisela Stuart, heck if they had more MP's like her people might actually vote for Labour.

She was against Brexit. She appointed Boris Johnson as foreign minister. Not so good so far.
