The lesser of two evils

I don’t know what to think this morning. On the one hand, I’m glad we have a new prime minister; I’m glad CaMoron is gone, and I’m glad it’s may and not that crazy bitch Leadsom. At least we didn’t get the drawn-out leadership contest we were all expecting. On the other hand, May is still a tory, and we are still leaving the EU. She might not quite be the draconian nutcase Leadsom is, but she is still quite right wing and utterly unelected. I would be calling for a general election if the Labour party wasn’t in such a mess. It’s all screwed up: what May will do in power worries me. She will probably swing to the right, to try to appease her party. Things will get even more repressive, the cuts even crueler. The best I can say is, it could be worse, even if it’s hard to see how.
