Here is a very quick analysis of the voting record for Theresa May (as recorded in Hansard). (clue: her votes are in RED - minority means NO, or in other words, against the bill)

NOT impressive is it?

Even more, if you start looking at where she has voted against the Tory whip, it is even more scary. For instance, she was a rebel against the Tory vote of Aye for reformation of the Upper House.

A more detailed analysis of her voting record will come in a day or so, along with a comparison against the new cabinet, so we can see where they all stand on issues which to LibDems and others, are important!

I am intrigued with how Cameron is going to address in intrinsic homophobia which exists within the Tory party, now he is in coalition with the LibDems who are the most welcoming party to LGBT people. Chris Grayling and Philippa Stroud come to mind, as well as IDS’s ties to Stroud (which in itself is worrying) and as for Theresa May’s voting record on LGBT issues, well that is another (planned) post, in which I will investigate how she has voted in regards LGBT legislation, including the repeal of s28, equalisation of the age of consent, the equalities act etc…

From what I recall, her voting record does not exactly inspire confidence and in her new role as Home Secretary, this is worrying. However, if the past Labour Home Secretary’s are anything to go by, the role itself is akin to a poisoned chalice and perhaps will be her un-doing!
