    Best to let May see it through until Summer 2019. After the "no deal" comes to fruition.

      The only political party leader in the UK voted by a majority is the SNP leader.

      Now you're saying TM is a voted leader, when actually the DUP are pulling more strings behind the scenes not in line with the Tory manifesto. I don't recall anyone voting for the DUP. It is ridiculous to call TM a leader. A leader by definition is someone who has followers, she does not. Half her party are queuing up to stick the knife in whilst the country is on the cliff edge of the most important time in living memory.

        I would've thought that by leaving your country you'd also have left your sectarian bigotry behind.

        Oh well, you can take the Bhoy out of Scotland but he'll want to bring his chips with him!

          Now to the desperate whataboutery trying to deflect the EU's failings.
          She was not elected to be Prime Minister by members of the public, was she?
          She got 165 votes in the first round of voting, then they held a second vote (The TRAITORS!) where she got 199 votes.

          Junker got 221 votes in the first round of voting for the presidency of the European Commission, which increased to 422 in the second round.

          Sorry to go for whataboutery, since you brought it up, in terms of her parliamentary election she got 0.08% of the electorate to vote for her. If she is kicked out of office, surely you must protest because that goes against The Wishes Of The People. We are a democracy and TWOTP must be obeyed and never questioned.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            So in the first round she got 50.2% and in the second round 60.5%. Conservative Party (UK) leadership election, 2016 - Wikipedia

            Juncker got 30.3% then 57.9% Jean-Claude Juncker - Wikipedia.

            So May is far more elected than Juncker.

            Is you had any brain cells, you would realize that you actually had less statistical ability than assguru. A truly astonishing feat.

            However you are so thick so are only suitable to be a CUK mod. Good luck with your application.

              The figures you quote for TM the PM are based on votes by the Conservative Party MPs only. It wasn't across the whole of parliament, nor was it all the Conservative party members.
              Juncker was voted for by all members of the European Parliament - across all parties.

              She got 25.3% of the parliament votes in the first round and 30.6% in the second.

                  Thought he was one of the Cheshire Glitterati?

                      so using your somewhat desperate statistics what percentage of the Electorate actually voted for Drunker?

                      Lets see:

                      422/500,000,000 (total EU voters)

                      so he got

                      0.000000844 of the electorate or 7.12336e-15 %.


                      You know its truly representative when its written in scientific notation!
