The New Prime Minister
46 Answers
Yet again the majority ( however slim) of the electorate have been totally disregarded. By selecting a Tory MP who is a stay ( in the EU) MP, to be Prime Minister, the establishment is cocking a snoot at the will of the people of the UK. The new Prime Minister by default should be a firm Brexiter.

//I can remember the time when the candidates party wasn't mentioned on the voting slip at all. I would strongly suspect that people going into the booth will just scan up and down and look for the Party of their choice, not a name.//
That is precisely how I behave at MEP election rounds, sad to admit. They never come to your door and I haven't a ruddy clue what they look like*, let alone what their personality/talent is like.
* slight hyperbole. The leaflet comes through the door, there's a photo of someone grinning but, at work, we used to get wall charts of similarly grinning faces on a semi-annual basis, entitled "here is your new senior management team". We were "outstationed", out of London, and we were lucky is we spotted the Grade 5 on his/her annual flying visit. One used to make us gather for a 1-hour speech but that was like having an extra hour added to your backlog.
Would you dish out a £60,000+ job (I'll google for MEP pay rates) to someone based solely on a grinning photo on a leaflet, shoved through your letterbox?
What ARE we doing, when it comes to politics?

Pro Brexit tendency and Prime Ministerial competency are not necessarily correlated.
Anti Brexit tendency plus competency has to work within the following boundary:
"We will honour the result of the referendum, whatever the outcome."
Pages 74-75

The pdf is clunky on my outdated iphone and will not let me cut/paste. The above is as much as I care to type.
So, is a manifesto legally binding? (I jest, of course).
