that is the way things should go in the UK, no more brexit and go solve some of the UK's problems now, make life better again for the working class british people
I think above all, whoever is in power needs to push Brexit back and hold a People's Vote, with actual proper options and plans, unlike with the original vote. The People's Vote is the only way any party can escape the stalemate.

And maybe at the second vote, all the people who couldn't be arsed to visit the polling station but have been outraged at the result, will this time cast a vote. You never know.

Hopefully so, if we do get a People's Vote it could be the most important vote this generation, with the first vote people had the excuse of thinking it was a bit of a giggle, anyone who has lived through the past two years of absolute chaos will hopefully realise that voting this time is important.

This thread isn't actually about the Labour party or anti Semitism but some will use it to spout their hate against the left at any turn.

This thread is about a serving PM whose own MPs have forced her to face a no confidence vote.
Her own MPs, no one else.

I hope she loses and is gone.
For me anyone is better than her, she has further divided the Country, Parliament and even her own Party.

She answers next to nothing and it seems listens to hardly anyone.

She has handled the brexit process abominably.
From the start of her Premiership to now.
If she loses tonight, (sadly I don't think she will lose), I doubt anyone could do as frustratingly bad as she has.

Ive never been away. Not that its anything to do with you.

I made a point re the thread but mainly stuck to the main issue of it actually.
I never said any members names or asked for anyone to identify themselves.
That you've chosen to possibly put your hand up is your affair,

I don't see what the options could be for a second vote. It can't just be 'Leave' again because we're too far along in the process for that and there's different versions of Brexit. But you also can't have Remain vs Mays deal vs No deal vs Norway option etc. because none of those would get a majority and its not really fair to split the leave vote but not the remain vote. A second referendum would never settle the issue anyway, it would just lead to constant new calls for another vote

People say Vote Leave broke the law but remember that Remain had far more funding than Leave and had pretty much the whole weight of government behind it. Remain always had the much bigger advantage

I don't see what the first part of that sentence has to do with the rest of it. You can't say "Ahh well, we may have broken the law, but they had more cash, so we'll call it evens.."

It could also be argued that the main reasons for remaining are more geared up in policy and the long term effects on the economy, and by proxy, the people, whereas leave had the much easier and effective slogans or sound bites, such as £350m each week for the NHS, stop Brussels controlling our laws, and the additional xenophobic undertones to aspects of the campaign which automatically strike a chord with low-information voters and help to scare the old people that actually won the election.

I partly agree with the first paragraph in that it's difficult to actually run another remain/leave election. However, the fact that circumstances have changed, and many people realise now that they were hoodwinked by the leave campaign, suggests to me that in a healthy democracy, it's important to find a way to make these kind of things work.

It's easier to change course mid way, than it is to hit your destination and realise we don't want to be here.

Poor woman might have split the country and her party, but the reason for that is the fact she is doing exactly what the country voted for.

So the tories chose May in 2016 and now some have changed their mind and want to revote?

Seems like sound logic can it be implemented anywhere else?

Reports (SkyNewsHD & BBCnewsHD)
she will have the 158 votes she needs
tonight.
Which means she will have a year
without this back stabbing.

We should find out after 7PM tonight.

Cameron is definitely the most to blame for this mess. Why she ever stepped up at that time is beyond me, it was a mess that was never going to end well.

well, Idk about her looks, LT, but politically winning no-confidence vote strenghtens her position within the party

Oh yeah, i forgot that Corbyn would make him wear a yellow magen David, and march him off to a death camp quicker than you could say "you're fired".

I read Paul Daniels saying he'd leave in the 90s if Labour got in.
However he didn't.

As for Alan Sugar, another one like our PM deluded with power.
He's so deluded he thinks he can fire someone before he even hires them.

It's a pity the sick and disabled don't have the means to leave this Country to avoid this government's sledgehammer taken to them.

I hope this PM loses tonight, I doubt she will but one thing she'll be certain of, there will be a growing number of her own MPs, plotting against her for another year.
Whether she comes through big or small.
If she then miraculously got this deal through Parliament too.
Then the DUP are likely to pull their support for her government as their issue is more with her than the Conservative party.

She will then hopefully be stuck between a rock and a hard place, deservedly so in my view.

It's actually really easy to leave, it's difficult to have your cake, eat it, then leave.

had uk never joined and always been out we'd have had to contribute to get access to eu markets and other juicy bits anyway
so now those expecting a clean break from the biggest trading bloc in the world on our doorstep are being disingenious, not to mention economic idiots letting some anti-eu sentiments cloud their judgement
