I'm no expert on Israeli politics, but is anyone getting a bit of a Nethanyahu vibe off Theresa May?
Although I'm a leftie I feel that in the name of checks and balances, society also needs a political right. Not in the form the red-faced war mongers you see on debate programs, but as a pro-business lobby who'll keep an eye on the red tape.
But May gives me no confidence that she understands economics to the degree that she and the Tories can serve this purpose for the next five years. So she's less the pro-business Thatcher she wants to be, and more a kind of Nethanyahu type strongman. She seems stuck in a narrative where the rest of the world is chaos, while she is the protector of a besieged and mistreated people. (The English?). To hell with the short term economic pain and international animosity, this is a greater historical moment to secure the future of her own kin and only the leader who can see this narrative is fit the lead.
