But while Mrs. May is the establishment’s – and the Remainers’ – candidate of choice, Mrs. Leadsom appears to have the backing of the grassroots, going 11 points ahead of her rival in the latest poll.
*snip*
A new poll by the Brexit organisation Leave.EU, which is now backing Mrs. Leadsom thanks to her prominent role in the Leave campaign, gave Mrs. Leadsom a strong lead among Conservative party members last night of 56 per cent to Mrs. May’s 44 per cent. The organisation is confident in its prediction as it closely forecast the outcome of the EU referendum.
A spokesman for Leave.EU said: “Our referendum poll accurately predicted the outcome of the EU referendum on June 23rd, within 0.1% of the result. We have deployed cutting edge U.S. methods which profile ‘personality traits’ via social media analytics, to better understand how to poll in a more effective way.
“Leave.EU has over a million supporters reaches around 15 million people a week online – a bigger audience than any political party or movement. This supporter base is cross-party by nature, but connects us to around 20 per cent of Conservative Party members.”
The poll also predicted that Mrs. Leadsom’s leadership could boost the Conservative Party’s fortunes, as when supporters of other parties were asked if they would join or re-join the Conservative Party under her leadership, 41 per cent said they “almost certainly” would, while over half (53 per cent) said they would “consider” it. UK Independence Party (UKIP) voters in particular were open to persuasion.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Leadsome will lead Britain out from the EU.
Trump will trump the globalists and elites.
They will be the Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan of a new generation.
Big Scandale over at the BBC! Leadsome took a shot at Theresa May’s motherlessness and implied that she didn’t have that much stake in the future. Liberal heads exploding and Facebook in meltdown.
Phew. If this is their idea of a scandal, they need to visit America.
And so folds the UKIP. I bet BNP has a great exit as well and the shriveled husk of party infrastructure will be taken over by old old guard racists or new-wave loons. LibDems might even lose a few opportunistic party members in the shuffle to Conservstive power structures.
Unless she blows as PM. There’s always that chance.
We could use that. I miss both of them.
May God will...
......I keep praying!
Impressed with Mrs. Leadsom
I saw somewhere that the May camp is trying to stir up SJW crap, latching onto the other woman’s comment of her kids being a reason she has a stake in the UK’s future. Never a good sign.
This is very good news. Theresa May is a squishy Mitt Romney type, always deferring to Muslim demands. I think she would be a terrible choice for Prime Minister.
I find the parallels between American and British politics fascinating. In both nations a very large portion, maybe the majority of the electorate are longing for “another Reagan” or “another Thatcher”.
I think this is because the Reagan/Thatcher era was the last time the citizens of both nations believed they still had a national leader that was in any way responsive to the everyday run of the mill taxpayer. The hoi polloi.
My mind says neither Donald Trump and Andrea Leadsom are another Reagan nor Thatcher, because their uniqueness can never be repeated.
My heart says, maybe both Trump and Leadson can be elected and possibly restore at least some sanity to our nations.
At a minimum, the British have made a start with Brexit. I pray that is an omen.
Bang on. She would be a disaster.
We are at a crossroads here - and things are looking promising, but the onslaught against Leadsom will match and that of Farage. Pray for her.
Theresa May banned Pam Gellar from visiting the UK..
Yes. And Robert Spencer. Telling the truth about Islam simply cannot be tolerated by the dhimmi Theresa May.
The Brexit leaders are a very smart bunch.
By stepping out of the limelight, they avoid a major pitfall of organizations, of being equated with just one individual in a personality cult. This makes it much harder for their enemies to attack their ideas by undermining the person.
Both Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson are now well situation behind the scenes to do the “heavy lifting” in negotiating the Brexit.
If you haven’t seen the European Parliament speeches of Nigel Farage on YouTube, I can assure you they are a hoot, as he is a very talented speaker and debater, and he rhetorically slices and dices other EP members who come across as corrupt dullards.
To say that the EU will approach these negotiations with both their customary arrogance, yet trepidation while facing Farage and maybe Johnson, should be hilarious.
Finally someone other than that despicable bitch Theresa May
I’m hoping Leadsom gets in,
I would recommend anyone that hasn’t seen “Brexit the Movie” to watch it free on YouTube. A few things surprised me that I didn’t know,
Not sure I trust the British polls at this point.
