Theresa May
With the gender equality issue aside, she's potentially very bad news for anyone who is unable to work for health reasons, are of a low income or unemployed, need aid or assistance due to no fault of their own.
Hopefully no one on this forum is claiming benefits / sickness benefits...
She's a supporter of Reforming the NHS, which would again affect anyone who can't afford the spiralling cost of privatisation. That would be a big shocker for most people considering we get free healthcare currently
Here are some of the past things she has been in favour of:
Generally voted for reducing housing benefit for social tenants deemed to have excess bedrooms
Consistently voted against raising welfare benefits at least in line with prices
Generally voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability
Generally voted for making local councils responsible for helping those in financial need afford their council tax and reducing the amount spent on such support
Generally voted for a reduction in spending on welfare benefits
Generally voted against spending public money to create guaranteed jobs for young people who have spent a long time unemployed
Consistently voted for selling Englands state owned forests
Generally voted against greater regulation of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to extract shale gas
Generally voted for restricting the scope of legal aid
Generally voted for a stricter asylum system
Consistently voted for stronger enforcement of immigration rules
Generally voted against transferring more powers to the Scottish Parliament
In fact today she's pretty much said she won't allow Scotland to have an independence referendum. Good luck with that :roll:

But evil isn't gender specific
What if its a male that identifies as a female, would he-she be suitable for leading a country?
e.g. Theresa may.... regret taking this job!
Theresa may... have made a very odd cabinet appointment
Theresa may... get a nickname that plays off 'Iron Lady' but comparing her to tin or lead or some lesser metal...
Ah well...
I vote aluminum just for the pronunciation.
lol
(... waits patiently for someone to start a new thread titled "Theresa May Not" ... )
