I still think we'll be fine, but you cannot start criticising world leaders. Especially a hot head like Trump who is clearly a special case and while in the middle of negotiations with the EU. May has made a big blunder here in a desperate attempt to curry favour with the British public who dislike her either way. She's the classic career politician who cares about herself and not the interests of the country. Idiot!

I still think we'll be fine, but she should not really criticise our allies! Especially a hot head like Trump who is clearly a special case and while in the middle of negotiations with the EU. May has made a big blunder here in a desperate attempt to curry favour with the British public who dislike her either way and pander to the liberal media. She's the classic career politician who cares about herself and not the interests of the country. Idiot!

Minorities are on their way to becoming the majority. The UK isn't like Texas - which is a majority-minority State because less than 50% of the population is white - but the percentage of the UK population identified as white dropped from 92% in 2001 to 87% in 2011 and, presumably, it will shrink further still in the next census.

13% is not a significant component of the overall population, but it's enough to swing an election...

Exactly. Now that the thumb on the scale doesn't carry the weight it used to, those who benefitted previously are now bleating about pandering. This, of course, conveniently ignores the fact that the white majority has been pandered to forever and it's the shoe being on the other foot that's making them unhappy.

It used to be true that all politics is local. That's becoming less so as people now tend to vote for the representative of their preferred team, rather than the individual who is promising to fix pot holes and clean up the lido. With that paradigm shift, proportional representation makes more sense now than ever before.

Correct assessment Penge...everything she does is disastrously wrong. Has she got hold of another bunch of useless advisers like the last ones who managed to turn victory into catastrophe - with her assistance of course?

The problem for Conservative voters, more than half the UK electorate and reasonable people in the UK who think that way, are not selfish, fascist, anti-social justice monsters is: Not voting Conservative could obviously open the way for the Marxist cabal and the road to ruin. That would be far worse than having a total disaster of a Prime Minister like May.
