Here's a good question. Do any Tory voters genuinely have confidence in May?ShootersHillGuru said:
I think it's fairly obvious now that she's not a people person. She's stiff and uncomfortable when she's not scripted. Its why she sticks to where she feels safe and can stay exactly on message. Her public appearances have been very much staged by her team with little or often no real access to the general public.cabbles said:
She needs to realise that she is accountable to every single one of us. Even more so in the run up to an election when she wants our votes. I appreciate she cannot do every tv debate but with all due respect, this is what the job entails in the run up to the general electionChris_from_Sidcup said:Is May actually going to appear on question time tonight or will she pull out? Then again i'd assume if she has agreed to go on then the entire audience will be tories and she'll only agree to certain questions being asked.
I genuinely don't think I've ever come across a more aloof party leader/prime minister. Is it because she's shrouded in self doubt, or is it that she genuinely believes that the sound bite strong and stable is sufficient.
Say what you will about Corbyn, he's seems okay to face questions. Hell i'm no fan of Cameron, but he's being made to look worlds apart by May's disintegration over the past 10-14 days.
When she first got elected, as nailed on the wall socialist, I thought some of the sounds eminating from her were slightly encouraging. For example, she talked of redressing the balance of savers (I don't have money to save, but the talk of interest rate rises pleased me from a housing market point of view), and she seemed to show a compassionate side for people referring to her Christian upbringing.
Fast forward 12 months and she has the face of an exscasperated banshee and scorn of the devil reincarnate. It's gotten worse as she's been challenged
Unfortunately for her she's been rumbled by the electorate. Unless she makes a miraculous recovery and delivers what the Tory mandarins expected I can see her stepping down "due to health reasons" long before the Brexit negotiations are concluded.

Remind me which party introduced tuition fees.seth plum said:What shames me is that my generation had free University education, but we have pulled up the ladder for those following on.

WTF. Theresa May's first words were to thank the audience for turning up to a TV debate "which are a very important part of the election process".

These questions so far have been pretty weak.0

That's part of the reason she's alright with doing them.Exiled_Addick said:These questions so far have been pretty weak.
I'm sure everyone's question sounds hard-hitting in their head but the politicians are (generally) too good for them.
Best questioning so far was from the first girl.0 -
Sure I will get shot down for this, but May is doing a tonne better than I thought (not necessarily saying much as I thought she would struggle compared to Cameron).
Think she knows where she will struggle and where she is best focussing her answers. She had done just that so far.0 -
These questioners are morons ffs0
-
Awful format as well, easy for her to bat away questions from the public and no chance for Corbyn to challenge her till much later.4

I have heard the term 'Magic Money Tree' about 20 times now in the last 2 days. How many other trite sound bites have the Tories got up their sleeve for the last few days of the campaign?4

Most public sector pay rises compare very strongly with many in the private sector. Things can always be better, but we can't act like the public sector has struggled along whilst the private sector raked in 5pc pay rises every year.
I work with people who haven't had a pay rise for 5 years and don't have the option to go on strike to fight for it.
This isn't a point about nurses - it is more public v private sector1 -
