May stays for now. | | | | | Thank heavens for that.
Now we can watch the disaster that is Brexit unfold without interference from an in-house tory war.. for a wee-bit longer at least.

63% is a lot better than 52 - and I didn't see any lies on a bus either  . But I get it now, you ARE JRM - that explains a lot then.

But it seems that Mrs May has been telling colleagues that she won't fight another General Election, so she may well step down before another leadership spill can be attempted.

I demand another vote. | | | | | Aside from the slightly bitter and butthurt tinge to your post  , it has to be said that if a house of MPs don't know what the hell they're voting for they should, therefore, not be left in charge of anything more complex than negotiating which brand of biscuits they serve in the coffee breaks, never mind Brexit.
And just to soothe your burn, you can rest assured that they WOULD get another vote if they want one.

it to those real politicians up in the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, to decide where we go from here
with Brexit.
Naturally there will be no hesitation from Nicola as to which way she would steer the UK over Brexit.

Of course the majority of Scottish voters - voted to remain in the EU in the 2016 EU Referendum,
no doubt benefiting from being in an ERG free zone.

Or was it just another "whataboutism"?

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | When there were three candidates  | | | | | 2 firm Brexit, one less so. So basically the same except the Brexit vote this time wasn't split between 2 candidates and there were then a few Tory MPs more to give a larger total as well.
So actually pretty comparable.
