Very depressing.
The manifesto was and is appalling. It basically stuck two fingers up to traditional tory voters and did nothing to win over any floating voters. It was hubristic in the extreme. For the first time in living memory, a sitting tory party has run an election without basing their campaign on being the best custodians of the economy. The suggestion this time is that May hasn't wanted to do that on the basis that saying the economy is doing well would be to give credit to Cameron and Osbourne.

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.
