UK Politics Thread

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility...

I cannot believe that the EU includes a scenario where after April 12th the UK will ask for a "long delay" and will participate in EU elections - which implies that the paralysing, endless, neverending story will continue to wreck EU internal policya-formign FOR YEARS TO COME.


Obviously the EU knows not what else to do than to debate Brexit details. Which tells us something on how calm, stable and reassuring world affairs must be. It seems they fear the ymust dioe of boredom if not having Brexit to talk of.



No, serious: it seems the EU aims at having the British public go to vote in the eU elections and that this will activate resostence to the Brexit ever being declared formally valid due to a sudden spike of even more EU love in the UK, due to the wonderful elections.



Stunk.

I hear from the news MayBot may not bring that garbage withdrawal bill back next week. Well we shall see, if that is the case we head in to a two week extension.

I'm beginning to think in terms of indicative voting by Parliament.

German media refer to the Sunday Times who gets quoted with that eleven ministers plan a revolt against May and that she will be no more there "in ten days". Its unclear who will become interim PM.

Brexit: Theresa May urged to quit to help deal passTheresa May could gain support for her Brexit deal if she promises to stand down as prime minister, senior Conservatives have told the BBC.

Oh come on they tried to remove her and failed big time, why do they think she will step down now?

The woman who started the record-breaking anti-Brexit petition says she is "shaking like a leaf" after receiving three death threats by phone.

This women and every one else has the right too put up a petition. People who act like that need locking up or if I got my way six months in the stocks.

I'm thinking it could be her de facto deputy David Lidington.

Heaven forbid it be Michael Gove but I reckon he'll be more interested in the job on a more permanent basis.

Another twist in reason. In what way does it help to get a better deal from the EU if May gets replaced? The EU's stance will stay unaltered by that. And in what way do some seem to think that they must reject her deal if she stays, but will apprive it if she leaves? If her deal is through, the name holding the office ir irrelevant than.

Nothing makes any sense anymore. Not even rejecting this senselessness makes sense anymore. It seems it does not even make sense anymore to state that there is a difference between things making sense and things making no sense.

BTW, how dumb must somebody be to take over as PM in THIS situation...??? Its like becoming captain on the Titanic while the band on deck already had stopped playing.


What have I just said? I feel so dizzy.

[STEED]

May has said she will step down before the general election and that is next year so why are these morons pushing now...Oh wait I forgot.

LUST FOR POWER!
