I WONDER how many people have noticed that when the Prime Minister Theresa May makes a prepared speech (never in debate, I wonder why?) there is usually a placard in the background with small signs saying Conservative Party and a large sign saying Theresa May’s Team.

And the speech never seems to mention the Conservative Party but is liberally sprinkled with what Theresa May will do if she wins the election.

It does seem to me that there is an intention to turn the election into a presidential type of election instead of our usual democratic choice between different political parties.

This is (in my opinion) to be deplored and I believe sets a dangerous precedent.
