They're probably gonna go with a vote of no confidence, first. Don't you think?


Glad that things are getting into gear though.
Brexit's become my very dull game of thrones substitute. And i haven't seen a main character die in forever.

And the no's have it!

Back to the drawing board?

Nothing happens.  Vote or no vote ... because the Muslim ISIS stormtroopers, run by the Franco-German Wehrmacht, are coming, if every vote, every referendum, every politicians isn't exactly what Berlin-Paris Axis wants.  Can the Rome-Warsaw Axis stop this?  Stay tuned to this same bat shit time, same bat shit channel for more of the same bat shit politics.

If there is a vote of no confidence, PM May can simply rely on the support of President Maduro of Venezuela, who just got President Erdogan of Turkey, to make her big declaration ... "I am Baby Doc Duvalier trapped in the body of an English woman".  No need for further elections or votes.

Well, yeah.  But I expect May to survive that.

Not that certain of that myself. But could very Well be.

Wouldn't know who in their right mind would want to take over anyway.

Me too.  For the simple reason that I can't believe anyone else is dumb enough to want the job of cleaning up her mess.

Winston Churchill.  EU was his bad idea anyway, and he didn't intend the British Empire to be a part of it, but the EU was supposed to be a tool of post WW II Anglophone hegemony.

Just read a great article, with multipolarity, already last year, there was rhetoric in Turkey, France and England, to bring back their empires.  Someone has to save the Third World from Silk Road colonialism by China.  Greece is down on that too, Greece just got fined for using Piraeus for helping Chinese manufacturers avoid EU customs.

Will Belgian stormtroopers be heading back to the Congo soon?

If you were Brit not Belgian, then I can put you down as a definite Laborite?  Well, not surprising over much of W Europe.

From the American perspective, W European socialism, including in Britain, was always viewed with suspicion.  Perhaps your new Chinese masters (silk road to slavery) will be willing to subsidize your standard of living.  That is what colonialism was all about, and what socialism chucked out in the post WW II period.  Ah, but we don't need colonies, now that we have credit cards, right?

Yes, W European socialism, Cuba without the good Latin music.

Wasn't that the real choice in 1940 ... would W Europe become Vichy or Comintern?  It was the attempt by Gorbachev to de-colonialize E Europe that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union economically (as the same effort did for Britain).  Soviet inefficiency was being subsidized by factories seized in 1945.

Well, certainly not many on the Conservative side wants to open the door to elevating Boris Johnson or Michael Gove to the job... or Jeremy Corbyn.  So I don't expect many defections from the Tories, and their DUPes... er, the DUP has already said they'll back their coalition partners.

Yeah you're right, she'll probably stay pm.

I'd concider resigning, Tbh. Buy i don't think she will.

In Japan after a fiasco like that she'd have to kill herself.

With the prior changes in the unwritten UK constitution, PM May is insulated for another 12 months, given current triangulation.  The Teflon PM.

This is because she could resign, but she won't.  Labor or Tories could call for a vote of confidence, but they won't.  If there was a vote of confidence, the Tories would side with May anyway and that would protect her for the additional 12 months as described above.  The Queen could dissolve the government, but that hasn't happened since 1830.  So most likely the UK will beg for an extension so that a new referenda can occur, with or without vote rigging, to decide that the UK was just kidding all along about Brexit.

Basically Lilliput had a better government than the UK has right now.
