ALEC and the Koch Brothers like her.
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/09/andrea-leadsom-tea-party A controversial rightwing American lobbying group that denies climate change science and promotes gun ownership paid for the Tory prime ministerial hopeful Andrea Leadsom to fly to the United States to attend its conferences. I'm sure you've got your own reasons over there to not want her to be PM, but ties to the Koch Brothers and ALEC should send up red flags and cause klaxons to sound.... Cheers, Scott. |

Leadsom withdrew. Big Sister May has it unless someone comes out of the woodwork.

May will...
be the next PM. Theresa May is set to become the UK's next prime minister after Andrea Leadsom pulled out of the contest to become Conservative Party leader.Peter was right to say it would happen. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |
