Prime Minister May’s misbegotten premiership

Mar 29, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Mrs. Theresa May, the incumbent United Kingdom and the second female United Kingdom Prime Minister will leave office in an orderly handover inevitably whenever an European Union withdrawal deal is done. No one is weeping! The oddity is that some may yet come to miss her, though she has been the worst United Kingdom Prime Minister of our political lifetimes – bar none. Yet there was one great good purpose in her premiership: by occupying the space; however vacuously, she kept out the barbarian hordes of Brexiteers barging one another out of the way to seize her throne.
When she goes, we face yet another disgraceful handover of near absolute power without consent of the electorate. As in the case of both Mrs. May herself and Mr. Gordon Brown, the opposition leader, that is a political error.
This time a field as big as the Grand National will compete, but not for approval of the public, only for the backing of a very small, very peculiar selectorate. Never again!
At least let every contender pledge to hold a general election to win public consent. It’s a grim thought that we may look back on Prime Minister May’s misbegotten premiership as better than what came after.

Yours truly,
Rooplall Dudhnath
