Following last week’s referendum result, we've witnessed
nothing but chaos, exposed liars (cough-vote leave's £350m NHS funding post
Brexit- cough), and a very messy Westminster. The only way we move forward from
here, is to reunite, rethink, and re-strategise.
Britain is strong. We are... (Well, were.) the 5th largest
economy in the world, with higher employment rates than ever before, and record
breaking numbers of people at work, we've managed to cut the deficit from 11%
of public spending to just 3%. These are achievements under a strong, and
steady, one nation Conservative government. But all of this is that risk,
Westminster is a shambles, and as much as I would have liked to see poor old
Corbyn remain as leader of the opposition and never get elected, it's not fair
on our country; it's unhealthy. We need a strong opposition that represents its
members. However, more importantly we need an ambitious and cunning Prime
Minister prepared for the hurdles ahead. Ready to answer to Brexiteers, ready
to fight for Britain in Brussels, and most of all ready to unify the Tories
once again- in other words anyone but Boris.
We need to Theresa May, the daughter of a local vicar, the granddaughter
of a regimental Sergeant major, in her very own words: 'public service has been
part of who I am for as long as I can remember'. A no nonsense politician-
experienced, strong, and blunt. I think Theresa May is ready to negotiate for
Britain, with a clear vision as to how she plans to do that. Her subtle
approach to campaigning for remaining in the European Union has proven
beneficial, she is backed by both Remainer's and Brexiteer's, including leader
of the House of Commons Chris Grayling, and other senior cabinet ministers.
However what we forget is that we're not just looking for a
negotiator, although this is a major role for the next Prime Minister, we are
looking for a Prime Minister who understands our people. May has shown concern;
she wants to fight against the injustice's that are prevalent in our society
today. The Home Secretary knows that our country needs 'serious social reform';
we need a country that 'truly works for everyone'. In her first speech as a
candidate she recognised that 'if you're born poor, you will die on average 9
years earlier than others' and that our criminal justice system is biased,
amongst other issues.
The Conservatives may have fixed our economy, and sorted out
our spending, but Theresa May knows that work is still to be done. Her track
record shows that she has delivered, she is delivering, and she shall continue
to deliver for the British people.
I think we've all seen what the Justice Secretary is capable
off. Despite his repeated confessions of his inability to be a successful prime
minister, he called in to confirm his candidacy just two hours before the
deadline to be the Conservative leader
and the next prime minister, or in other words stabbing a friend right through
the back, I know it's Boris, but still...
We don't want a traitor, suddenly hungry for power in No.
10, and we don't want a man afraid of defeat leading our country. We want a leader,
and that leader is Theresa May, the Home Secretary of Great Britain.
