Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

And are they sure they can ride out a new leader without an election and this wafer thing majority for the next 4 years?

Well, Boris Johnson is a polarising figure, but the favourite to win votes for the Conservatives.

Being a polarising figure didn't stop Donald Trump.

If they pick a good successor to May who has the courage of their convictions and makes the right decisions on Brexit, an early election would be nothing to fear from the perspective of the Conservatives. They cannot govern effectively without a good majority in Parliament.

Or they screw it up and Corbyn is in charge of Brexit.

Incidentally Corbyn clearly loves Brexit since the EU would stop him from implementing the 1970s, everything is nationalised, country he wants.

Yes. That's the only downside of Brexit I have been able to find! Corbyn running riot.

If you lived through the 70's and did it right you won't have any memory of it

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Nobody who was there can remember the 70s because it was too cold, too dark and there was no TV (seeing as at any one time at least one of the industries required to keep those things ticking over was out on a picket line somewhere).

Corbyn can nationalise many things, the EU is not the issue there but its promotion of free trade is an issue for the likes of those grounded in the 70s. Whether Corbyn knows this and chooses to ignore it or genuinely doesn't understand it, I can't say for sure.

At least everything in those days was in black and white.

Desperate stuff; May should assert her authority.

Calls for Tory chairman and Government Chief Whip to quit in voting row
Chief Whip Julian Smith and Tory chairman Brandon Lewis are under intense pressure to quit in a row over claims they adopted murky tactics during a crucial Brexit vote.
A Tory former minister joined Labour in calling for the resignations after it emerged the failure to keep to a voting pact was actually planned rather than an "error" as claimed.
Theresa May is facing calls to apologise for misleading MPs about what happened and told she must sack the two men if they did not go voluntarily.
The decision to deploy dark arts tactics during the knife-edge vote on Tuesday drew criticism from across the political divide.

I can. It was the only time in my life I was involved in strike action.

So much for UK politicians who faithfully promised to clean up their act which of course is another insincere lip service promise which never ever materialises Andrew.

It's particularly bad because an MP should be able to enjoy her maternity leave without having to worry about being stabbed in the back on votes. This only discourages female MPs which is a step back in my book.

Brexit poll: voters turn to far right, Boris Johnson — and Remain
Theresa May is facing an unprecedented political crisis, according to a new poll that reveals voters are implacably opposed to her Brexit plan and are prepared to turn to Ukip or parties of the far right.
In a survey that will spark unease in Downing Street, the YouGov poll found that the public believes Boris Johnson, the former foreign secretary, is better placed to negotiate with Brussels and lead the Conservatives into the next election.
