Theresa May's time is up

Who would want to take on the top gig with this shit storm raging ?

edit: its Dominic Raab and his not-injunction
 
Bit of "fuck you Boris". If he stays he be seen as a man of absolutely no principles. If he resigns would be seen as an opportunist in advance of a leadership bid.
 
I don't think they can just call an election - that was the point of the Fixed Term Parliaments Act. Either 2/3 of Parliament must vote for an early GE, or a vote of no confidence in the present Government (which I think also needs a 2/3 majority) has to be passed.
the clown Clegg's attempt to fetter the PMs discretion has been brushed aside, the FTPA is a dead duck as wiki makes clear
On 18 April 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May announced her intention to call a general election for 8 June 2017, bringing the United Kingdom's 56th Parliament to an end after two years and 32 days. She required two thirds of the Commons (at least 434 MPs) to support the motion to allow it to pass.[13] Jeremy Corbyn, the Leader of the Opposition and the Labour Party indicated he was in support of an election. The motion was passed the following day by 522 votes to 13 votes.[14]
 
The toires would have to lose control of parliament. That would only happen if a dozen tories defected (or the DUP pulled the plug - but they wont) - but we are some way from that. It could maybe happen if May ends up being replaced by Rees Mogg.
I don't see that happening. I hope to Beelzebub it doesn't

If their is a leadership contest it will be won by the most brexity of the two candidates who mps offer to the tory membership. If it is rees mogg the tory party would crash and burn into yet more factional conflict and infighting and - given moggs toxic nature - a likely collapse of support with the voters. bring it on.

I don't have any major problem with the rig, but it is quite remarkable how much more of a cunt it manages to make Rees-Mogg look. And that's starting from a pretty high base already... :D
 
Who thought they'd call in last year?

Why do you think they won't end up calling an electoin, they way things are going?
a) loads of people thought they'd call one last year. they were 20 points ahead. it made sense then.
b) because no matter how fractious and unstable the current government is, it's not a Corbyn government, which is a very likely result of a general election.

Please no
It will all end in tears AGAIN .
Would be the lowest turnout in history, whats the point nobody takes any notice of what the people want anyway.
The country is sick of it all

ha ha
Righto
 
My pure guess is that may will survive this and ultimately get a brexit deal done with the EU. After she pulled the 2017 election, that can't happen again - and I imagine most tory mps are very nervous about any kind of challenges to may which might ultimately lead to an election. Same time, she'll have to sell off body parts and what remains of her tiny shrivelled soul to get it through.
