For those readers on Mars or outside the UK, the Conservative Party is the party in government, supported by a Northern Ireland party, to give a slim majority. It is led by Theresa May who is Prime Minister.
At the moment the Conservative Party Conference is drawing to a close and Theresa May is due to speak. By the time you read, or skip, this she may have spoken. Her speech last year was a PR disaster with a bad cough and signs falling off the wall behind her.
She could also face a leadership challenge. It is not an enviable position with many in her own party against her over BREXIT. The trouble is who would replace her? We have plenty of people keen, but no-one that stands out as a great leader. All the people "in the wings" come over as weasels - career politicians with them as their main focus, not the good of the UK.
If there was a General Election it is quite possible Labour, led by Jeremy Corbyn, would be elected on a very left wing ticket. Personally, I am more centralist and wish centralists on all sides would try to form a new party

UPDATE 1320z: It happened and passed off without a hitch. Bet she was pleased!

Trump-May meeting in Davos - NOT amateur radio
So the UK wants a trade deal with the USA after it leaves the EU and Mrs May (UK PM) is to meet President Trump, aka the genius.
Now, neither is exactly my image of a good, charismatic leader. Sadly I cannot think of any, anywhere. Where are the men and women who are truly interested in the common good? Please may someone really good step forward as the world badly needs you.
My personal views, which others may totally disagree with. In free countries you are entitled to hold vastly differing views. Basically, the lack of real leaders is troublesome. Trump, Putin, May? - let history judge.
Cynical me? Surely not.

Poor Mrs May - NOT amateur radio
For a start, I was one of the many millions in the UK who did not vote for Mrs May (UK Prime minister) and the Conservatives. It looks like the rich are richer and the poor poorer under her party. This is wrong. If we are to have austerity let us all share the pain. As for a working alliance with the Democratic Unionists (DUP) in Northern Ireland, I am sure this will go down in history as a mistake.
To be fair, many expected a landslide with the Conservatives winning a big, clear, majority. Instead, we ended up with a hung parliament and Mrs May hanging on by a whisker. Most people rejected her autocratic style.
In some way I feel sorry for her. A week ago she could do no wrong, whereas now she is vilified.
Who knows what the future holds? It will be several years before the dust settles, but beware any party that ignores the people it serves.
Oh, we still await a true charismatic leader in any UK party.
