No as loads of MP's could be out of a job.
That's the Private worry.

The Conservatives now have only 312 MPs.
When they lose the Brecon by election they'll be down to 311.

I cannot see the DUP risking a political backlash in N Ireland to inflict no deal, on the province.

There may be few Conservative MPs who will vote for a no confidence motion.
However, a fair number could abstain.

After the Brecon by election, even with the DUP the then PM would only have 321.
The opposition benches 319

It would need every single Conservative MP to support no deal, with not a single abstention or votes against no deal.

A normal vote of confidence would be likely lost.
A vote of no confidence to stop a no deal, is a much greater conscience matter for all MPs.

I think enough Conservative MPs would support the no confidence vote then.
I think the DUP would either in part support it or abstain.

A small number of Conservative MPs are determined, maybe not publicly.
To stop no deal at any cost.

Enough much more than likely to ensure defeat in my view.

Quite a number I think, even the chancellor would vote to veto No deal.

I agree reece.
The new PM has big problems on such an extreme and dangerously unknown action of no deal, in this hung Parliament.

i don't know about anyone else, but i am completely sick of Hunt telling us he is an entrepreneur every second sentence, He is not unique, he is not particularly successful and it doesn't give him an advantage over anyone else in politics

He is making a meal of it.
I guess they have to play to what they see as their strengths.

He can't really call on his time as health secretary, I will never forget this arrogant and ignorant attitude to the junior Doctors.

This Boris Johnson as to presentation is better in my view to the usual one we've known for years.
However I know it's a false presentation.

He is saying differing outcomes and plans to the opposite hopes of the 2 camps of Conservative MPs backing him.
So chaos is likely looming.
I still expect Rory Stewart for one, to become a really difficult thorn in Johnson's side.


However Hunt needs to start saying other things than him being an entrepreneur.
He is near already, with over 3 weeks to go,sounding stale in his plans too.

It's a truly awful choice in my view.

I also doubt either will be any better than Mrs May as PM too.
I have never liked her from coming across her, politically.
However it is good seeing how now relaxed she is, with more genuine relaxed humour.
So good luck to her in her personal life.

These 2 though.
Just an awful choice, yet one of them will be added to the poor choice on offer in other Parties to vote for too.
The UK needs a strong unifier as PM at this time.
There's not one in any current position of any Party leader.
Neither of these 2 will be either.
