Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Of course they won't. There were 48% who voted IN, they won't vote UKIP. There was 2/3 of the Labour party who voted IN. The Libs voted IN almost entirely. It would be pointless to vote UKIP. What could they do with a few extra MPs. It would be a wasted vote. I voted OUT, but would not vote UKIP under any circumstances. I would vote Labour before UKIP and that is the view of millions. UKIP got about as many votes last time as they are ever going to get.

It is not so easy to call for a new election these days, since the introduction of the 5 year fixed term. If Labour are against, and why should they given the mess they are in, it will not happen.

There will be no election before triggering Article 50 and probably not before we are actually out of the EU. Brown didn't call an election when he took over from Blair and his position was worse as he just got the job without an internal election. Any new PM would be crazy to have a GE in a time of instability. I expect the GE to be in 2020.

It does not matter, those who voted to LEAVE would vote for UKIP if
they saw that they were being taken for fools by the main parties
colluding with each other....YOU WILL SEE!!

Labour can't afford a GE, their coffers are empty.

It wasn't BoJO that got the LEAVE vote, it was the population and who have
been betrayed by the establishment parties. ..
And UKIP to represent them.
If it had been left to the blue on blue it would have been a remain vote...

Labour does not represent the very people they were set up for, they're
finished..
Thats where UKIP will step in...

Jeremy Corbyn isn't going anywhere IMO. History tells us that when Marxist's get some power they do not go quickly.

The only hope to get rid of Corbyn is the possibility that he is not among the list to be voted on. His supporters say he gets on the ballot automatically, but the Secretary of the Labour Party say he won't put his name on the list unless he gets 51 MPs to support him. There could be High Court action.

i don't really care what the labour party does, but as i wrote earlier, the conservatives need to get to work and quickly to create some sort of internal harmony if they want to avoid handing labour the next GE on a plate
cameron, unlike corbyn, has done the correct thing and fallen on his sword
who should succeed him i don't really know

One thing that last nights QT did do was at least they all admitted that the vote should stand and that they should all knuckle down to making it work . Which was something .

Labour will be fecked at the next GE if there is a stitch up with the
Brexit, and the torys will lose a few seats...
So UKIP could hold the balance of power...

Fantasy time. To get more than one seat would need a huge increase in votes for UKIP. There is a wide distaste for UKIP and Farage the rabble rouser.

Haystack you did say Leave didn't stand a chance , and also Dave would still be PM and that there was pact between the Cons not to take on Dave in a leader contest , and Nige basically gave you the chance to get out of the EU , strewth .
