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....

From the Betfair Exchange:

Next Conservative Leader after Theresa May

Javid...............5.7 (Remainer)
Rees-Mogg.......6.2 (Leaver)
Gove...............7.2 (Leaver)

Next PM after Theresa May:

Javid...............5.4
Rees-Mogg.......6.0
Corbyn............6.2
Gove...............7.0

Exit Dates Theresa May

July 18 - Sep 18.....2.4
Oct 18 - Dec 18......5.8
Jan 19 - Mar 19......7.2

Have you got odds for the date of the second EU referendum too, Doc?

If there is to be one, Hils, then it will be HERE

9185 - quite so, and it's easy to see why ......

i also would dsagree that the tories would get hammered in a new GE (if there even is one), as a large slice of the population would be happy to see a soft(er) brexit ....... why would they all suddenly switch to labour which would happily work towards a more federal europe?

But you can see what happens if you put a woman in charge.


8-)

Lol Hils , keep praying cos it ain't gonna happen any time soon.

A general election would be first and then another referendum will do.

Coming soon to your part of the country!

64% of people do not now believe that Theresa May is able to negotiate a good Brexit Deal for the country.

Also, just in...

"Tory MPs are submitting letters to the 1922 committee to trigger a vote of confidence in the Prime Minister’s leadership, and Mrs May’s official spokesman has been forced to say that she would fight off a leadership challenge.

As this bulletin goes to press, the BBC is reporting that 48 letters - the exact number required to force a vote - have been submitted."

So here we go.

I have just sent a donation to "Ready for Rees-Mogg" to add to his war chest and support any leadership bid he may be inclined to make.

Exec,

What is the address?

I have something in my compost heap I would like to donate to the war chest.

vote labour
you get to stay in europe with more power devolved to the unions and a trend towards a more fiscal eu


vote lib/dem
assuredly you'ld be voting to stay europe and also you'ld split the vote in an unknown proportion
would lib/dems hold the balance power?
very doubtful, and if not what value your vote?


vote tory
you'll probably end up with something similar to what we already have, but with at least some freedom to follow or own course (i hope)


vote ukip
fall on the floor laughing and frothing at the mouth if you aren't already

What a mess.

Vote UKIP and fuck up lots of remainer MP's chances of holding onto their jobs.


The Soubry burd for example (tory) only has a very slender majority, and they voted out, only to be betrayed.

CD - surely you never deluded yourself it was ever going to be easy? ....... only the fruitcakes subscribed to the idea of just pulling up the drawbridge and sailing happily into the sunset

I never thought the vote would be given. However when you are given the option in or out then you have to honour the outcome. I keep hearing from gutless wonders that nobody voted to be poorer. Utter bollox.

If the result went to stay in then I would have accepted it. Moaning like drains about a loss is something we have to accept everyday when trading. Cant ask for another go if it goes wrong.

May be I am thick skinned. Luvvies don't tend to be IMHO

cynic is a closet remainer, what do you expect?

Have any more of your glorious leaders resigned overnight?

:o)

h/t to bob across the road.
