That's saying a lot when you had Neville Chamberlain as a PM.
But if Trump can surpass Andrew Johnson as the worse president, why not
Thatcher had her "The Iron Lady" nickname.
May has, well. Strong and stable.
Her election slogan of "vote for a strong and stable government and avoid a coalition of chaos" didnt exactly age well, did it?
I wonder if, in some alt timeline, she didnt throw away her majority government in a powerhungry gamble and thus was able to get this shit through.
There should be a referendum to see if there should be a referendum to overturn the last referendum.
Simply need a referendum to May should Leave or Stay in office.
so May is going to stay on now even after she promised she'd resign if they gave her this one vote?
Well the last time we had a King Charles it didn't go so well.
She does have a few examples to fall below first, like Chamberlain or Attlee
Attlee? He's usually ranked as one of the best Prime Ministers not worst
Suppose it depends on your political ideologies.
This is why I think May is going to go down as one of the worst: Thatcher and whoever this Attlee bloke is (never heard of him I do apologise) were liked by at least some people regardless of what side of the political spectrum you lean towards.
May has pissed off everyone on all sides.
May says we are now almost certainly going to take part in European elections. Speculation she might call a general election for the same day
Is she at risk of losing her position as Prime Minister if a general election is called? I'm very ignorant of how elections work in the UK and even more so about the significance of European elections.
I guess I'm not familiar but I was more thinking of his botched invasion of the suez that lead to the rapid death of british unilateralism and colonialism
Depends who you ask. YouGov indicates that voting intention has been reasonably consistent - Tories gather between 35%-40% whilst Labour sits at around 30%. I could see her scraping a victory again because Brexit would most likely be a primary issue again; Lots of Labour voters in the north, but a lot of northerners also voted Leave, which causes a major conflict that could cripple Corbyn's support. Doesn't help that Labour, as an opposition, have been dreadful these past few years and the party rife with controversy (exaggerated or not).
Labour is probably reliant on support of students & youths more than ever. Question is: will people have any desire to vote considering we went through this mess less than two years ago? Low turnout favours Tories cos oldies always vote, bear that in mind.
I can't see an election fixing much. A referendum is how you'd change the path we're currently on.
Ahh you're thinking of Anthony Eden, who is indeed considered one of the worst. Clement Attlee was the PM right after WW2, his government founded the NHS among a lot of other reforms and is seen as one of the most revolutionary progressive governments in our history
There are rumblings that May will bring her deal back for another vote on Monday and have it face off against whatever (if anything) is agreed upon in indicative voting on Monday.

Lol. DUP pls. Could they sink the Brexit ship? If there's one thing you have to credit Northern Irish parties for, it's being belligerent.
Keep voting until May gets what she wants?
If we get to the EU elections, I can't wait to vote to get Nigel Farage the fuck out of there.
Even if it ends up being just for a few weeks.
Thats been the old cunt's plan this entire time. I bet she'll be trying to ram it through long after this is over, like I can imagine her wittering on about it to nursing home staff in 20 years time
Can't have a second referendum though, because the people have decided and may not change their mind like she keeps hoping Parliament will.
Hold up, what did Attlee do.
Eden was probably worse than Chamberlain too.
They got the person wrong. Was talking about Eden.
Weirdly, I've heard a moderate amount of praise for Chamberlain radiating from Reddit. What for? Absolutely no clue.
He gets a lot of shit for his appeasement policies but they were arguably smart policies while Britain built its military up.
