I am not selling her short. I am just saying that she as a person does not have a fan base like Corbyn. Her supporters are general conservative party supporters.
Where Corbyn is a character and a figurehead for his type of 'labour', Theresa May is just the top cog in the conservative machine.
My point is that if conservative leadership were to change, they would not lose support as a result of Theresa May fans finding a new representative to put their support behind.
I am not saying May is less successful as a leader, just that she does not garner the sort of support Corbyn does. It is easy to find Corbyn supporters that are not necessarily labour supporters but is it easy to find Theresa May supporters that are not necessarily Conservative party supporters?
Personally i am no fan of either.
