To think Teresa May has just won the election?

[desertmum]

Listening to TM outside Downing Street vs JC - I think she may have just won the election - saying what people wnat to hear and hopefully some of what she says needs to be done will be followed through with.

Yeah i see what you are saying bill

I think i am more saying that its a bit like me saying to ds

'You never tidy your room, it really annoys me when you dont tidy your room, you obviously dont want to be involved with the household'

And then he goes upstairs and says 'right fuck it i will tidy my room' and throws everything he possesses in the cupboard or wash basket

And then i say

'Wait, thats not what i meant, you have done it wrong, thats not how you should tidy a room'

make

Dh says that the more he thinks about it the angrier he gets

He has voted tory all his life apart from this election

I'm glad younger people got out in numbers. Voting is a habit.

I find it quite amusing that even a political pundit mistakenly called it a Tory defeat (correcting himself quickly, but that idea shouldn't even be in his head), today.

Some of the youngsters I know didn't vote in the Brexit ref, and are regretting it now. They are enthusiasts for Corbyn.

I think Theresa teased them with her stupid foxhunting proposal and her meaningless slogans.

Good work if it means more young people think that politics matters.

I think Theresa teased them with her stupid foxhunting proposal and her meaningless slogans

I dont know about the foxhunting but i found the meaningless slogans fucking insulting

It wouldn't surprise me if the younger voters found it insulting and were fed up of being treated like idiots

So true. Haven't heard a single Tory demand young people have their vote withdrawn.

That is true although it could be down to the fact that they are too busy complaining that the youth only vote out of ignorant self interest and comparing JC to Donald Trump.

As they say on yon Twitter, this thread has aged well!

Well, the DUP are arguing already. HAS TM won? I think there's still time for her government to collapse. I don't want it to. A Labour government would be disastrous for me, but I do believe that it's only a matter of time.

The DUP have released a couple of statements saying that negotiations are ongoing and no formal deal has been made.

TM is ignoring that and carrying on as if nothing has happened.

She's behaving like someone who has lost touch with reality.

Theresa May's Belbin Profile. (I am preparing for an Away Day)

Most prefered behaviours
Shaper
Implementer
Specialist
Completer Finisher

Least Prefered Behaviours
Team worker
Co-ordinator
Plan

This means she likes being in control, likes taken action and procedure and process driven. Given her an existing task and she's happy. LIkes a structured environment that isn't subject to freqent change.

She doesn't like reflection, consultation, coming up with new ideas on how to do things, (action is more important than relationships), doesn't like helping others achieve their work goals, doesn't invest time in thinking up strategic solutions......

Hmmm......

Plant not Plan!!!!

Hmm, so not a good fit for the job, then.

As we'd noticed....

Nope- proably couldn't be much worse.
