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....

for better or worse, there is no question that without the threat of ukip, a referendum would not have been on any party's manifesto or even agenda

May more popular even among Leave voters.

Popular across all voters

Remarkably, Theresa May is more popular than Michael Gove among both Remain voters and Leave voters. 64% of Leave voters have a favourable opinion of Theresa May, compared to 51% who view Michael Gove favourably. Among Remain voters there is no contest: Only 5% of people who voted to Remain have a favourable view of Gove, while 49% of Remain voters like Theresa May.

Haystack's found a new love.....on yer bike Dave.

I still prefer Cameron. Theresa May will do and I think will become very good. She hasn't won the leadership yet. The favourite has lost in the last three Conservative leadership contests. David Davies was favourite last time in 2005. There is a lot of double dealing in the parliamentary phase of the election that reduces the number to two.

So that's another spell binding two months of this then , think I'll cut my didgeree do off .

Nominations (110 to get on to the ballot of last 2)-

May – 112
Leadsom – 38
Gove – 26
Crabb – 23
Fox – 9

Leadsom 'I will only have members of the govt in my negotiating team' - tries to squash Farage suggestions of him taking part

Haystack we know -
you hate Farage ,
you hate UKIP,
you hate Corbyn,
you hate Labour ,

you love Dave,
you love Cons ,
you will love new leader ,
you love endless opinion polls .

Yes haystack its evident you are on the same wavelength as 'Call me Dave',
you come across as a slimey snake oil salesman and a spineless guttersnipe.

That would be a description of Farage.

I wanted Ken Clarke instead of Cameron, but he was stitched up in the second ballot because he was too pro Europe.

you love Ken Clarke .

GB - why r u ever more vituperative? ....... surprised you're not a labour party man through and through, though perhaps you are

cynic
How are you posting from the Tour de France?

I thought you would be cycling in the Tour.

our reprise takes place at the end of august, and this year in southern brittany

Talking about Le Tour, Cavendish had another win today. Literally by inches. Now equals Bernard Hinault's tally of 28 career stage wins.
Next stop after the Tour, the velodrome at Rio.
