Yeah, like THAT will ever happen!

If you believe current stories coming out, he is considering it. Maybe he (or his backers) are finally coming to the conclusion that if they want to get in power he has to move aside. They should be well ahead in the polls by now, the fact they are not must suddenly sink in ..... but then, interesting times, so who knows

That's with Corbyn at the Labour helm .... if he steps aside

I'm pretty sure current polling suggests another very hung parliament and no UKIP seats.

Problem with the UK is our parliament is not mature enough for sharing power and having to work collaboratively. For too long they've been used to one party having total power. I quite like the idea of a hung parliament, but we need to drain Westminster of the current lot and get in new blood before it can be a success.

As for UKIP, I can see their vote % increasing (stealing Tory votes) and maybe taking a seat or 2. Nothing significant but enough to ensure that the Tories do not have overall power.

Tories could (should) get an absolute kicking in the next GE. They will shed a lot of votes to UKIP which may return some UKIP seats at Westminster. If Labour can get rid of Corbyn and have someone like Watson in charge, they will get a landslide; Corbyn staying at the helm is the only thing that can save the Tories from an absolute mashing!

JRM is at risk of losing his seat as he's voting against the wishes of his constituents

Yeah interestingly it was Conservative until 2017 and then labour got in marginally..

may swing back to Tory's in the next one - who knows!

You don’t have to have voted for him. As you rightly point out, he represents your constituency, regardless of who you voted for.

Good for you for emailing him, though. Many wouldn’t, and would just moan about them.

And if he doesn’t represent you well enough, you can always vote against him again at the next election. Unfortunately, if other people do like what he’s doing (or his party) then you’ll still be outvoted. That’s (our) democracy for you.

Strangely enough my e-mails to him have gone unanswered - but why would I expect anything else

Did not vote for him - although he represents the constituency I live.

Strangely enough my e-mails to him have gone unanswered - but why would I expect anything else - the politicians over the past few years have shown their contempt for people whose votes do not agree with them.

One of them is your MP. What have you done to contact him/her to let them know?

So cannot vote again on May's deal without substantial changes.
Therefore two options left, revoke A50 and cancel Brexit or long extension to the process, which has to be agreed (unanimously) by EU.

If you were the EU, what would you do to scupper Brexit? That's right, no A50 deadline extension.

As "no deal" is off the table, there is only one outcome, Brexit is cancelled.

EU wins, remoaner May wins (and can resign and go on a permanent holiday), project fear merchants win.

win, win, win. So many cheering winners it will be deafening.

Well, if you will fail to listen to the warnings pre ref, instead of listening to the leave liars, maybe you wouldn't be so upset now. The Brexit offered was never going to be an option, we knew this from the start, but you lot fell for the lies. Only yourselves to blame.

[Whorty]

Well can you do the decent thing and tell those fooking fawning, ass kissing, lick spittle politicians in Westminster that as they seem to be in some confusion...

Talking of which, how are you today oPM? taken your meds yet?

[scooterscot]

win, win, win. So many cheering winners it will be deafening.

There's plenty jobs at the travel lodge for leave voters. Ohh oh sweet Karma. Or is that purgatory?

[Whorty]

Are they going in the right direction?

They can't agree with themselves which way to go I heard some just wanted to walk off the cliff edge .will of the people
