Off Topic The Politics Thread

Bloomberg commentators say May will resign if forecasts ar correct.

I think whatever the outcome she will resign, you don't go to the country and ask for a clear mandate to negotiate Brexit and end up with little or no majority. She's been cruelly exposed as inadequate and we are likely to be in a virtually ungovernable position...

That's twice in a year that Tory leaders have miscalculated totally. The arrogance and idiocy of May in seeking a mandate and then leaving herself in a much weaker position, or possibly out entirely 11 days before we start Brexit negotiations is criminal, and very reminiscent of Cameron's idiotic hubris a year ago.

If the Tories form a government and she resigns, do. we ask for a delay to Brexit negotiations to allow the new person to be elected and then for him/her to make up their mind about what kind of Brexit they want? Jesus, we're a laughing stock.

I think it could well be vote for Jezza and end up with Boris as PM, talk about cruel...

Have you cashed in/out?

Have you cashed in/out?

Nah. Didn't have serious money on it and I've got Tory majority of 1-24 seats too.

 

[Stroller]

I'm not sure what I'm enjoying most - the glum Tories, or the Blairite Labour MPs smiling through gritted teeth as they have to acknowledge that they owe their jobs to Corbyn.

****ing sweaties are going to save the Tories.

Clegg out and Farron asks for recount, Lib Dems crash and burn...

But Cable ...the old fashioned Lib Dem....gets back in.
It's an odd one

Twickenham and Richmond are both strong areas for the Lib Dems and he's benefited from the anti-Tory vote rather than Labour...

Can someone explain what is happening in Scotland.
Scotland who voted leave.
Scotland who want to be independence.

They vote Tory and save Mays bacon

May said in her acceptance speech that we need a period of stability...
That means we will have another election next week!!!

We could well have another this year.

I'd guess another bloody election in Sept/Oct. Can't see any meaningful Brexit negotiations until there is a majority government which may not come. May has totally f*cked-up with no good reason...
