Depends on the definition of "worst". Most incompetent? Sure, why not, bring on PM Dorries, although we do all have to live in this country for the next 18 months. Most actively evil? Probably not, not least because stoking the culture war and fighting on the basis that "Labour are trying to make it so you can't even say woman anymore" may actually win the next election.Stom wrote:Surely it’s our aim to get the worst possible candidate in the door?

This photo is from her campaign launch - she TERFs so hard that she has got her people to put paper signs over the doors of the (single occupancy) toilets so that they can be segregated into "Men" and "Ladies". Her economic plan involves reducing international aid and cutting the Civil Service budget by getting rid of diversity and equality officers. She views Critical Race Theory as "dangerous" and something she is "unequivocally against." And she managed to combine a Bible quote with a TERF dogwhistle by saying that she would be a Prime Minister who wouldn't "cave in to every campaign with a moving message", but would speak the truth, "because the truth will set you free." I suspect that truth is based on a GCSE Combined Sciences level knowledge of biology.
She is currently near the top of the polls on the Conservative Home website, just behind Penny Mordaunt. Worst of all possible worlds when you're reduced to supporting Sunak or Hunt.
