it’s now a lose, lose situation for her.
It always has been.
She has nothing personally to offer, she has a likeability rating of 0, a competency rating of 0, and no policies to ‘sell’ to the public – although to be fair, i’m not sure anyone would be able to make a good job of selling ‘our balance sheet is a mess, things are a bit crap, and their going to get crapper before they get better’
There’s simply no point going to a TV debate and trying to compete against 6 other parties screaming ‘spend, spend, spend’ as loud as they can. Spending is always appealing.
Her job was really always say nothing, do nothing and wait for JC to screw up. However that’s not really worked out on 2 fronts, as she decided to give pensioners a kicking, and JC has come up with a fairly radical/exciting manifesto to capture peoples imaginations.
