ichi; The bookies favour Jacob R.M.

They must love her at the moment, no authority whatsoever, able to be pushed around and bullied, frequently looks like she's been crying in public appearances, and the person everyman will blame for everything. They won't off her until it's in their interests to do so, she should pull the rug out from under them like Cameron did and quit, that'd *** them right up, cos none of them want the job at the moment. If Jacob Rees-Mogg gets it after her, we can look forward to a Labour Government as Mikey says, so bring it on.
Somewhat surprisingly, I have to agree with youngmafbog. (08.28).
May is in post (but not in charge) until Brexit is done and dusted. Then she’ll be dumped and either Boris or J R-M will be in charge, (or maybe the compromise candidate Hunt, in the same way that Hacker got in as Yes Prime Minister).
She has spectacularly bad judgment. These are just the ones I can recall from the top of my head:
1. Even standing for Party Leader as a remainer, when Cameron quit after losing the vote
2. Appointing advisors, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill who kept critics at bay and left her out of touch.
3. Giving Johnson the Foreign Sec post – he has damaged our interests abroad by his crass comments and off-the cuff remarks
4. Relying on Damian Green when the MI5 file on him would have shown his taste for porn and his lies seeking to cover it up
5. Calling the June election. And not even being prepared for it herself. Just unbelievable hubris.
6. Absolutely dreadful communication skills in front of the cameras and people during the campaign
7. Allowing Osbourne his position on the Evening Standard to have a single agenda item of May-destruction.
8. The disaster over the DUP’s intervention over the Irish border and how it (almost) led to the failure of the deal agreed with the Irish government
9. THAT speech (letters falling off; mis-handling the prankster with the P45; not being prepared for the coughing fits….)
10. Previewing the cabinet re-shuffle as something significant, then giving in to junior ministers’ demands and changing almost nothing.
11. Supporting Toby Young just a day before he quit in the face of his decades-long support for eugenics and other unacceptable views.
I could go on.
Essentially she has made too many errors of judgment. After each one, the Conservative bigwigs say that she has one more chance to redeem herself, but then do nothing when she adds yet more disasters to the picture of spectacular incompetence.
If there was anyone who wanted the job, she would have gone by now. There is so much dissatisfaction among the Conservative Party that any credible leader would have no trouble in kicking her out and taking over. To be honest, I suspect most Conservatives would (secretly or otherwise) welcome her departure
She’s safe until March 2019, no matter how much damage she does to the country. Unless things get so bad that the Labour Party can engineer a vote of No Confidence. But even then Labour would probably mess up the opportunity
This is not a party political. I’m not calling for a Labour government, except that it might be marginally less bad than the current bunch of lightweights.
But you have to give her one thing: Staying power. My goodness, that woman has metaphorical balls of steel. Imagine doing that job day after day and getting up each morning knowing you are going to face yet more disasters and that you have no power, that all your decisions are made by other people, but you have to carry the can for all the disasters they are creating.
