So tell me again. Which party is more or less sane and which party is more or less the Brit equivalent of Chuckie and Nan?

Corbin is the worst Labour leader since Labour came into being. Head for the Channel, Britons. Swim for it. France is bad, but this is unendurable.

Brrrrrr. I believe it will happen. What’s next? The Queen will recite the Towheed and put on a chadour? Minarets in Westminster? Tommy Robinson stoned to death as an infidel?

A vote of no confidence would trigger a general election. What happens then is unpredictable.

She blows but I’m not sure how much blame she deserves for what’s going on.

The EU was never gonna give good terms and she’s being backstabbed by hardcore remainers in her own party and stymied by the DUP over this Irish border nonsense.

At this point I don’t know if Brexit is gonna happen or not. But the most important thing is keeping Corbin out of power.

Might a snap election with a new Tory leader be a good bet?

One thing is predictable, imho. If Theresa May insists on heading the Tories in the election, Corbin the kitty-cat Jooo! hater will be the next PM. If she realizes she’s hopelessly bungled Brexit and graciously steps aside for someone else, the Government might stay Tory.

The left is on a mission to destroy what little of democracy there is in the UK.

At this point there is no difference between Labour and the Conservatives. Under May, Robinson was persecuted, Muslim on white rapes continued, ect....

Yes Heath was what we would call the establishment GOP today. Heath basically created Thatcher. She was the response to Heath.

She already survived a virtual no confidence vote... too many MP’s are directly part of her government, and get extra pay for being so... hard to believe the same result won’t happen as last time... with her surviving...

Hard Brexit is coming...

It was the beginning of the end for Britain when Heath beat out Enoch Powell for leadership of the Tories.

Yes, and the most I know about Heath comes from the history of Margaret Thatcher. She had a real uphill battle and Heath was no friend of hers.

Back when the Brexit vote was held, it seemed pretty clear that a lot of people did not vote expecting that nothing would change. It appears the younger voters (who historically don’t vote as much) were beaten out by the older and rural voters who were more bothered by change. I suspect a revote will be held and Brexit canceled as there are fewer old voters now and the young are more international in their viewpoints.

The British are fighting to topple a government that wants to have governance and control remain with the British people so that the British will join a new governing scheme they will NEVER be able to topple. Makes sense.... NOT.

To table a motion: place it on the table for consideration in the future after the passage of a motion to remove it from the table.

To table is to effectively kill a motion
