Would Kemi Badenoch make a good PM?

I was just wondering if Kemi Badenoch would be a good Prime Minister if she wins the next general election?

Nah, as @Captain Haddock basically says above, she's just a bit too openly nasty, not really capable of showing any humility over her actions or the wider parties.

Talking politically and practically, the obvious difficulty that she would have going into the next election, let alone as Prime Minister, is that she is a loose cannon. She does not think before she talks and is absolutely happy to offend anyone and everyone. When she does, she retorts with the whole "I'm just telling the truth" line, which of course is not only wrong but misses the point. Politics is about messages and how you deliver them, and the delivery is often just as, if not more important than the message. Farage is a prime example of someone whose messages are usually pretty awful when you scratch the surface of them, but he repeatedly finds very effective ways of delivering them. Johnson, too, had nothing more than a paper thin plan on Brexit, but his delivery of that message was excellent going into the 2019 election.
Badenoch has no real message at the moment, but then she's been in post for all of five minutes, so she has time to develop one. The problem is that even if she does develop one, there is nothing that she's shown which suggests that she'll be effective at delivering it. Basically, she's really not shown that she's got any sort of ability as a politician specifically. So yes, as PM she would really struggle, and would likely be pretty disastrous even with a decent majority. The big concern for the Tories, though, should be how someone like Badenoch is going to both make inroads into Labour and fight off Reform at the next election. They're in a really precarious position, as are Labour given the their seat majority is not nearly as stable as it looks. The political landscape in this country could change significantly at the next general election, and at this point I'm almost expecting it to.

Always difficult to make predictions about where things will go... but at the moment it looks like she plans to continue down the Reform/Reform-lite path which is politically dangerous for the Conservatives. Competing with the far/hard right rarely ends well because no matter how to the right you become to "out-right" them, they will always be willing to jump further into the sewer and go beyond the pale than you will, and in the meanwhile you hemorrhage your central ground support.
That aside her general campaigning and media positioning seems to have a lot of misses like the aforementioned maternity pay comments. The bizarreness yesterday criticizing lunchtime sandwiches (which a quick google shows around 2/3rd of brits eat for lunch!), in favor of having steak delivered to your desk by an aide is a strange message to be putting out to modern day Britain and squeezed/struggling households.

Guess her problem with positioning the torys as reform-lite is that shell probably come off second place compared to farage. This is without even thinking about the role/money of nick candy, the trump/musk wannabe reform connections and farages gb news gig. The "let her eat steak" doesnt come across that well.

Shades of William Hague and his 14 pints a day. I suspect her leadership may take a similar trajectory in that the Conservatives are struggling to recover their identity after a crushing defeat.
