bigfoote Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Reports coming out of MAy's meeting with the 1922...she's going if they approve her deal, and won't be in charge for any other negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 She said she is going if her deal gets passed, so we're probably going to be stuck with her forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfoote Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have to give her credit. Vote for my deal, and I'll go, or carry on with me in charge. Either way she wins (in her own mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 27, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2019 What a load of horseshit. Once again they're bartering political power with not a single fuck given about the people or the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courageous Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 May offers to resign, but in true form DUP wants to keep her in purgatory.  Total shit show - nobody can win; this is going to come down to No Deal (and then....????) vs take part in EU elections (and then....????)  Motions that have managed to get over 200 votes: -7  268 vs 295 require a public vote to confirm any Brexit deal passed by parliament before its ratification. -8  264 vs 272 commitment to negotiate a “permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU” in any Brexit deal. -70 237 vs 307 proposing a close economic relationship with the EU. a comprehensive customs union with the UK having a say on future trade deals -149 242 vs 391 May's deal  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 So, if this thing goes through one way or another, who replaces her as the head of the party? Not the likes of Johnson or Mogg, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Is there a bigger charlatan in politics then Boris Johnson? The man is a liar, cheat and should be in no way near high office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, I think even Tory MPs see him as such which means he'll hopefully struggle to get enough votes to make the final two put to their membership, if he did get on the ballot though, I reckon he'd run away with it. I'd guess it'll be Raab and Hunt that get put to membership vote, Raab probably inching it due to Hunt making a complete arse of it when he was Health Secretary.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2019 Depressingly, I think they'll go for Rees-Mogg. He's still got the Johnson Effect working for him, in that there's still a sizable portion of the population still buying into his "gimmick" and not seeing him for the vile piece of shit that he is. Ledge, innit? There've been quite a few who have been in the public eye, so maybe Hammond and Gove will chance their arms too. And I don't think Andrea Loathsome learned her lesson from last time; being made "Leader Of The Commons" seems to have made her even more arrogant than before.

Paid Members gmoney Posted March 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2019 No chance Rees-Mogg ends up on the final ballot. They way Tory leadership elections work the rank and file MPs who aren't insane ERG types are able to effectively block nutters they don't want making it to the final round where it goes to the members. The trouble is however, they can block one or two unpalatable choices from getting there (Johnson, Rees-Mogg), but probably not three (Gove?). In any case, every choice is probably worse for the country than Theresa May is, and she is utterly terrible and destructive. A truly bleak time in British politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would never get the MPs vote to be on the ballot. Plus he doesn't want it. He's too self involved to want to be Tory leader. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
