Teresa May doesn't like the public

It is painfully obvious Teresa May does not like to canvas and certainly doesn't like to engage in the throws of a debate which could lead anywhere. For her politics has to be controlled, it has to be engineered and a script written. She must be prepared before she gives a speech or an interview, and in doing so knows exactly what she will talk about and will not talk about. This has been evident in her interview with Andrew Marr when told nurses were using food banks her response was to say the reasons were complicated. So the thought of having a TV debate is terrifying, she really doesn't like the stress of the camera or a debate which could meander off to anywhere. She is afraid and so she should be. For in reality even Cameron's debate with Corbyn was somewhat lacklustre so the same would be more so with May. When going off script she is like a cat thrown in the sea.

Whether the electorate or media like it or not, opinion polls are always used as guidance to tell us where we are now. Yet the last election showed they were woefully wrong. Their predictions completely missed the target and why might this be such a salient point? For simply the nasty Tory party have been shown to hold a twenty point lead, so what if they are so wrong now and what if this lead is no a lead at all. There is a gamble when any election takes place, but there is more of one when it was not needed. May just did not have to go to election, she has forced it because she saw an opportunity and she still believes the opportunity exists, that she will not only win but in doing so will completely wipe out Labour, perhaps for a generation. All because Labour have lost momentum even thought they have Momentum, they are not showing votes in the polls. Like any good Tory, May has ensured the relevant boundary changes have happened to help strengthen her position, to put her party back in power. She also sees the force of the media as backing her and has a hubris of invincibility about her. Corbyn appears as always to be his own worse enemy, but perhaps so is May for now we are getting to see her spots, getting to see exactly how wide that yellow streak is down her back. Like a chinese general Loa Tzu, she believes she is in a fight she can not lose. However she may well lose because of her own actions. By alienating the media, by engaging in BREXIT talks with the same stupidity you'd only normally see from Trump. She has made it seem BREXIT equates to a vote for the Tories, but this is losing the plot entirely, BREXIT and voting Tory are two very different things. Perhaps she hopes by clouding the waters no one will see her slight of hand as she pulls out of the hat a red white and blue bunny rabbit.

Mark my words, if May doesn't do a TV show and doesn't debate on live TV she will come off the worse for wear, just as she is now looking rather craggy and old. She needs to take a seat, sit on the sidelines and keep her trap shut. But of course she can't, this will be her downfall.
