"We are in the farcical situation where the politician who keeps telling us she is strong keeps hiding from the one she keeps saying is weak"
Quite. She's going to win but I shudder to think what the Brexit outcome will be with this mediocrity in charge. She won't be able to stand up to the Tory nutter ideologues who want to convert the country into their little fiefdom of low wages, no employment rights and shit privatision of everything whether it works or not.

Boris looks increasingly like being a favourite to succeed May should she "fail".

I agree with your comment on Blair gov. It accelerated a trend towards spin and style over substance and content.. and worryingly this has led us to a situation where the gullible are happy to believe in and parrot the soundbites of the leaders without actually questioning the reality - Strong and Stable anyone?
But yes 'Strong and Stable' is just a sound bite which initially sounded good to some people.
the main issue is the voters simply do not dig deep enough into what each party really offers and make a decision based on a rounded view of all policies - they just pick the headline few which they like and vote based on that.
And then the elected party decide whether or not they are going to follow through with their manifesto anyway so maybe there is no point in doing anything but voting for your favourite person and ignoring the policies.
Which is a pretty sad state of affairs and reflects on all parties.

Her Q&A session today basically shows it:
Journalists covering Theresa May’s campaign are getting frustrated at her refusal to answer questions and the highlight of the Q&A came when Channel 4 News’ Michael Crick delivered a mini-diatribe on their behalf. Addressing May, he asked her:Isn’t the reason that you are doing so badly that whenever people ask you about policy, all get are cliches and platitudes, and we’ve seen the same today. People think there is nothing there. Now, let’s get something straight, shall we? You mentioned £8bn for the health service. You mentioned managing money. Where is the £8bn coming from?Sometimes aggressive questions work, by provoking politicians into sending more than they intended, but not this time. May gave her standard response about how a growing economy would generate more money for the NHS. But what if the economy goes downhill, Crick asked in a follow-up. People should vote Conservative to ensure it does not go downhill, she replied.
