[STEMO]

STMO has stated that he and his whippet are leaving the EU on March 29th regardless of what the rest of the country does.

Yep, I'm out!

[Rods2]

It's an Act of Parliament, not an international treaty and I believe that changing the necessary provision of European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 by Statutory Instrument is sufficient to delay our exit from the EU. 

The European Council, by unanimously agreeing an extension, have fulfilled their obligations to EU law as laid out by Article 50 to facilitate that extension.  Bastards! 

May has signed a letter confirming the extension and the extension has been published in the official EU journal. Correct there is a provision in the act that an SI can change the leaving date. This will have to be done next week once we know what it is as a result of a vote or not on May's WA sellout.

Lots of Tweets this evening about a cabinet coup to force May to resign. There is so mush Tory disinformation at the moment I will only believe it when I see it.

Possible new PM rumoured to either be Lidington or Gove.

Remoaniac replaced by an even bigger remoaniac who would have guessed it. Tory party are determined to destroy themselves like many political institutions have before them.

[Varche]

I wonder how new political parties and the break up of the Tories would change anything?

Surely Britain would just end up with no party with a majority .

that's normal in most democracies. It's our unusual first past the post system that has led to two dominant parties and a continual swing from left to right and back again.


Reform of our parliamentary system is long overdue, and the lack of it is one of the causes of the Brexit debacle. Who else gets their head of government appointed by accident?

[Varche]

 

well we have had the same thing here in Spain with Pedro Sanchez. That will change come end of April

Please remember that calling everyone who disagrees with you a remoaniac, as lifted from the pages of the old style Daily Fail, is likely to offend the 48% (plus those suffering CBA to vote).  And as my primary school teacher said, name calling means you've immediately lost the argument.

As said several times recently, please keep the debates civil, and respect other peoples views, no matter how entrenched your own may be.

Our next democratically voted PM will be Corbyn.  For that reason, even I would vote ukip if it meant a non Corbyn PM.

[Doctor Gollum]

Corbyn is un electable. Surely 

[Nick W]

Corbyn is un electable. Surely 

compared to whom?


It's hard to see him as good Prime Minister material(although that hasn't stopped any for the last 3 decades) and although he had promise as an opposition leader, that wasn't fulfilled.

[Varche]

How about Sir Keir Starmer?

I always said the labour party ought to have had the other Milliband. " More electable".

[TheBoy]

Corbyn is un electable. Surely 

Tories can't win again next time - they are too divided, exactly the same is in the Major years. Added to that, they lack the kind of charismatic leader that the thick UK public (which, lets be honest, is a very significant part of the electorate) will vote for. Libdems are too weak still. And the tree huggers and other niche parties will never get anywhere, even in the UK.

So by default, Labour will win.  So, despite guaranteeing a step back to the 70s, he will be our next democratic leader.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well whoever is the next incumbent of Number 10 needs to be someone who actually believes in this country and is prepared to kick the butts of those in Westminster and Whitehall who have been trying to rob the 17.4 million of their vote for independence.
