To think if you call an election you should take part in the democratic process?

[christinarossetti]

So, in addition to refusing to do the leadership debate TM is now also refusing to be interviewed by Woman's Hour.

If she can't handle the standard electoral proceedings, why on earth did she call an election and how on earth can she ask people to vote for her negotiating skills regarding Brexit?

Whereas life must be a bed of roses at Tory HQ!

Can you imagine the disarray that they're in?

So she's shite at interviews, won't debate in public and has no costed policies.

And she's the woman to negotiate with Europe?

I voted Tory last election and it so happens Teresa May is my MP.

I won't be voting for her this time and neither will my DH. That's a real shocker for me as he's always been a staunch Conservative.

Teresa May has shown herself to be a failure as a PM - her U turns are embarrassing. She's come across as very weak and certainly not someone I want as PM

So quite frankly, it was no surprise to me she didn't take place in the debates.

YANBU.

The thing is, the debate & interview no-shows are just more of the same...continuing on from visits to the public with the humans politically cleansed in advance etc.

So not sure why anyone is surprised by this.

She's been parroting "will of the people" based on an advisory referendum result where just 35%-ish of the voting population had the "will" to Leave the EU for a sufficiently long time now that nobody should be in doubt she does not actually give 2 shits about what the "will of the people" is.

Additionally, she was the only Home Secretary in the entire EU not to impose the most basic controls of the EU Freedom of Movement rules (i.e. find a job in 3 months or be fully self-sufficient) when the country was, clearly, increasingly uneasy with "uncontrolled immigration"
(illegal, highly public attempts to kick out immigrants here on a perfectly legal basis don't count). Then she became Prime Minister on a massive "anti-immigration from the EU" card

So I think we can infer a few things. She's possibly:

1. Not interested in the electorate's views
2. Not competent in the most basic area of her role
3. Not respectful of humans complying with the law, in the name of cheap vote-scoring
4. Believes she can get away with it because the average voter doesn't make the links or hold her accountable (or simply doesn't care).

So, she's just being true to her lack of principles, really.

She is hubris personified.

TM isn't appearing anywhere much!

The other leaders seem to be taking the job of running for election quite seriously though.
