I think she's every inch a Tory. The best possible choice for them. She's not afraid of being unpopular and here are the Conservatives choosing another woman and another minority to lead them. Meanwhile Labour's stuck with another middle-class white man with a title.

Personally I think the female PM thing has been badly reduced for impact now after the last 2 female PMs
It's not really a novelty anymore.

What will be interesting to see is how things go for her, not in the next year or so but where things are in say 3 years.
In the Conservative Party.

Because she is leader while not getting ANYWHERE near even half of the 121 Conservative MPs votes.
Over a quarter of Conservative members didn't even vote in this leadership election.
Yet she couldn't get just half of the Con members eligible to vote.

So hardly a ringing endorsement for her.
However I think she was certainly the best of the last 2 and indeed the whole original 6 candidates.
It's now what direction her Party now want to go in.
That's her real challenge.

Labour look heading to the ropes at present with some really bad decisions already made.
In round one of 5 yearly rounds to do.
However, IF things start to look like improving,( not even significantly), in 2 to 3 years, then her added challenge will get even harder.

Plus what now will Farage with UKIP mk3 now do to ensure she cannot entice those voters who went to Reform back.

Labour and the Conservatives are so similar these days she will have to something radical
