117 against even with a promise to step down before the election.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
I despise the Tories and May, but I’d rather her in power than Boris.
Yeah that's a big blow
Well err that was productive. Toff twats.
Got to at least try.
"nothing has changed"
She got 199 when she won the leadership 2nd ballot in 2016 - she has one vote gained
I’ve been confident that no-deal can’t happen for quite a while, I’m less sure after this.
I’m glad she survived, only because she’s the best of the Tory worst. But this is hardly a ringing endorsement.
It's funny how missing a strike of the space bar can change your meaning so much.
Far from the best. Take away Brexit and she's one of the worst.
Hard to hate him any more than I currently do! In case that was in any way unclear...
I know what you meant, I just found it funnyI was thinking purely in the context of Brexit & the Brexiteer lot.
If this no-confidence vote would have been for the whole house, she would have lost. Why didn't they go for that? What is required to trigger that? Now she is safe for a year, which is probably for the best considering the alternatives being Gove or Johnson.
Corbyn now plans for a no confidence vote in the government - he expects that to be on 24th October 2047.
I genuinely wonder what Lukaku pictures he looks like when doing those “step overs”.
Wrong thread ffs.
Wrong thread ffs.
Just need the leader of the oppo to table a motion.
All those votes against wouldn’t happen in a commons wide vote.
Cos that risks a new election and most of the Tories who voted against her won't risk that in case they lose power and/or their seat at that election. Most of the 117 would vote in her defence in a Commons no confidence vote.
Yeah surely that's obvious? The context changes when it's a commons vote.
117 votes!!
Voting on the deal in the parliament is a waste of time. She's postponing the inevitable.

I think 2016-18 has probably put me off British politicians for a lifetime. My Dad’s so bitter that he dislikes everyone, I’m struggling to see how you can take an alternative view.
Ah that's a fair point.
I suspect she knows that... But stringing out enough to rule out any other options before putting it to the commons that they either vitevfir her deal or its no deal... she might even be prepared to allow a referendum with the options her deal or no deal
Then quit at the start of April and leave Boris etc to negotiate the deal...
FFS the state of UK politics
Live in Scotland.
They are playing up those 117 votes but it still feels like a massive win for her, all things considered.
fecking amazing how many politicians are still calling for more votes on everything except the one thing that matters.

Massive is a huge stretch. This can’t help her position in the UK or in Europe.
They voted her in in 2016 and now they decided they wanted another vote but the people aren't allowed another vote.
I'm sure that irony has been mentioned already

Tory fan tv is going to be lit tonight though
Rees- Moog: "Fam, Fam, Family listen, my emotions tonight are a smorgasbord of anger and disappointment fam-ily. She needs to resign blood. My wife thinks Theresa is the best person for the job! IS SHE MAD BLOOD? She needs to resign now fam-ily. Go to the queen and resign blood.
Peter Bone: "I'm tired Robbie, it's not acceptable anymore, it's time to go, it's time to fecking go"

Yeah, never mind democracy, I think Brexit has well and truly wrecked what little faith I had in politicians.
Labour / Richard Burgon still saying they're going to renegotiate with the EU and get a better deal ie the unicorn deal.
No deal is a certainty surely.
No deal is a certainty surely.
Win?
It is a further weakening of her already weakened position as over half of all Tory backbenchers voted against her. She is now totally at the mercy of the cabinet.
Normally she would be gone and a GE would soon follow. These are not normal times though.
No deal or a GE and a delay or revocation of A50 as an outside chance.

A GE might even give Tories a bigger majority and the leader may well be a Hard Brexiter.
Labour don't seem any more keen on a referendum than the Tories nor revoking A50.
You could have all that and be back in the same place as the UK is now in a few months time.

Could be. Who knows these days?
