Basically, Theresa has not impressed at this election. She's been shown to be more interested in her status than that of the party. That won't be forgotten or forgiven.
This should have been the opportunity to destroy the socialists, to make them electorally irrelevant.

May is simply not up to it.

Oh for a Wee Lord Willie to take over!
