Rules: just pick one or the other. Don't say "neither"! And don't say it should be whom not who

Theresa or Boris?

David Cameron - worst PM ever.

Very fair point. I think I'm distinguishing personal competence from actual damage done. You'd have to go back a very long way to beat Cameron for harm to the nation.

Lot's of PMs have had poor policies, or not been good at something, few have been so roundly awful at so many aspects of the job as TM.

donquixotedelamancha · 03/10/2018 20:29

Also, TM hasn't finished yet. I don't think leaving the EU had to be the complete shitshow it's turned into.

EndeavourVoyage · 03/10/2018 20:30

neither

Daisymay2 · 03/10/2018 20:34

Terrible choice but Theresa if forced to make a decision.
( I prefer neither but there is no one from the current shower- of any party I would like to replace her
I would possibly choose Boris if the alternative was Jacob Rees-Mogg)

Daisymay2 · 03/10/2018 20:36

Yes agree DC is worse PM in my lifetime, if not ever. Lifetime for me includes Eden ( just)

Viebienremplie · 03/10/2018 20:39

I don't trust either - Boris is a self-serving snake who would do literally anything for power. Teresa has the power to stop this madness and say 'no, this is tearing our economy up, as a responsible PM serving the country I refuse to do it' and yet she ploughs on.

In the face of such a shitty situation I'm leaning towards Teresa as she does seem to have some sense of social responsibility (ie not blowing things up completely, striving for some semblance of damage limitation) but they are both utterly reprehensible along with the rest of the leaver loons.

I don't trust any of these people to run the country

if Boris told me the time I’d check my watch

I'm pinning my hopes on her revoking Article 50 on 28th March before running off into the sunset with Philip.

Teresa as she is trying to do what she thinks is best for the country.

Boris is trying to do what’s best for Boris. He’s a self serving Cunt.

Me too! And I expect it will be through a wheat field.

Ta1kinpeace · 03/10/2018 20:44

Theresa
because she is marginally less shit

Georgepigthedragon · 03/10/2018 20:47

Theresa. Not by a lot. Boris is just a trouble maker making the situation far worse for us all.

ArrivisteRevolt · 03/10/2018 20:48

Boris. He’s smarter.

Although I quite like Theresa May because she has taken so much crap. Got to respect that.

TheClitterati · 03/10/2018 20:48

Theresa by a million miles. Not that I'm a fan of hers though ....

HurricaneFloss · 03/10/2018 20:50

Boris. He’s smarter

Where's your evidence?

OP posts:
Scientistic · 03/10/2018 20:50

Christ, this is like asking what form of torture you like best.

But yeah, Teresa, as Boris is a c**t of the highest order and doesn't even try to hide his contempt for us poor folk.

kitkatsky · 03/10/2018 20:54

Hmmm Satan or Hitler.... gonna stick with neither!

LizzieSiddal · 03/10/2018 20:55

Boris. He’s smarter

Bloody hell, he certainly does not come across that way, not just the way he speaks but his actions. He should never be forgiven for the way he dealt with the case Nazaznin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

Yumyumbananas · 03/10/2018 20:55

Theresa. I am not a Tory but would trust Theresa over Boris (or Gove) any day of the week.

LaurieMarlow · 03/10/2018 20:56

Clearly Theresa. She has many faults, but being Boris Johnson is not one of them.

Boris is a lying snake. The only person I trust less than him is JRM (and that's only because JRM is smarter and more plausible).

Wauden · 03/10/2018 21:00

Theresa

BifsWif · 03/10/2018 21:02

Theresa. God, that stuck in my throat!

DroningOn · 03/10/2018 21:03

Putin. Oh, sorry, that wasn't one of the multiple choice answers

medusa83 · 03/10/2018 21:04

Theresa. My husband is team BoJo though.

Rebecca36 · 03/10/2018 21:08

Theresa.

Not because I approve of her as PM, she is quite out of her depth, but Boris is just an embarrassment.
