One month later, and “Undecided” is pipping both leaders of the two main parties.

Though I suspect that “Undecided” really means “Neither of these two, FFS”

A more interesting question is 'Who would make an adequate prime minister?'

“Adequate”? Setting the bar deliberately low? :-)

Neither side covers themselves in glory. I was talking to an Irish relative this week about it, we need a combination of intelligence, charisma, and integrity, someone who can unite the country.

France were heading down a Far Right path with Le Pen before Macron came from nowhere. Varadkar and Coveney are representing Ireland well. We need a U.K. version, though some might argue that the U.K. got to populist politics first with Blair and Brown and look how that ended up.....

“Undecided” leaps to a three-point lead, while Corbyn slips low enough to be beaten in a leadership race by a cauliflower on a stick.

I have some sympathy for Theresa May.
It's an impossible job she has, dealing with the JRM/Fox/Bojo faction in the Tories who want to use Brexit to bring US style capitalism to the Uk and who are manipulating the cretinous part of the population to fool them that this in their interest.
She has to walk the tightrope between these ideologues and delivering a Brexit that causes as least harm as possible (hence the Chequers compromise attempt).
It's probably the most difficult job since the war (made more difficult by the fact that the country's level of IQ has declined precipitously over time).

I do not think that is true - it is simply that the stupid have more platforms to be heard on now.

It is in fact true, you're an example:

The general consensus is the UK IQ doubled when AssGuru emigrated.
