foley's thesis - when a pm acts more like a president
when a pm acts more like a president
public leadership
johnson
the personal factor
boris johnson - 'won the unwinnable seats' + destruction of red wall
tony blair's popularity + shown in the sun's headline 'the sun backs blair'
spatial leadership - distance themselves from the rest of the party
new labour - distanced from more, traditional labour represented by gordon brown. remove clause iv
sunak!!
weaknesses
loss of over 1000+ seats in local elections
weaker mandate as majority was not won by him/ unelected
he's not boris!!! (less charismatic + fresh start???)
many backbenchers have given up
too posh + wife's non-dom status
strikes + tory government not handling it well
strengths
starmer's weakness of opposition + diane abbott
still got large majority in commons so can get legislation through more easily
cost of living crisis - labour as an opposition promoted 'broken britain'
no natural successor + don't want more upheaval
got through windsor deal
