Who Were They Then? Theresa May

Theresa May is a dogged centrist politician with no great gifts or vision.  She continues in office mostly because she has a talent for self-preservation and because her more flamboyant rivals are less trusted by the majority of the Conservative Party.  She is, in a sense, the lowest common denominator.

There are a fair number of British Prime Ministers throughout history who fit this description, but the one who comes to mind first is Stanley Baldwin.
