speaking to someone who did prison work for the civil service he apparently started meddling with anti-radicalisation methods that were in fact very effective and hosed it all up because he has his ideas of how things are which are usually wrong

So who's willing to bet Leadsom for Chancellor? Or Home Office?

Graham Brady has announced that 1922 committee will not re-open nominations. May has officially won.

At a certain point not replying to him is futile because nobody in this thread has the self-restraint to just ignore him and the tedious mini-Pissflaps who creep along from time to time before getting bored and slinking away again.

Is this not somewhat dodgy? she runs against May all through the first rounds, potentially splits the votes that other candidates could get, and then just fucks off before a public vote.

I suppose it's reasonable for you to dedicate post after post to talking about me during politically quiet days like this. Not like there's anything else going on. kustomkarkommando posted:May winning no contest makes me think the odds of trying for a snap election in October might increase now I agree with this, but im going to say the odds will decrease. Because that's what I think you meant.

kustomkarkommando posted:May winning no contest makes me think the odds of trying for a snap election in October might increase now It was a near certainty anyway, but now its a given - especially given how complete a mess the Labour party are. Expect the Tories to win with a massive majority and Labour to be ~150 seats - unless of course somehow Burnham gets Labour Leadership within a month then he would win it. vodkat posted:Whats the procedure for repealing the fixed term parliament act to enable this to happen? Requires 2/3rd commons vote - and Corbyn is stupid enough to believe he could win a GE.

No it seems perfectly in keeping with what really has been an omnishambles of a campaign, and from what I've heard some pretty awful junior-ministering.

Parliament needs a two thirds majority for "let's hold an election" or a simple majority for "no confidence in Her Majesty's Government". Fixed Term Paliament Act just makes it so the PM can't go to the country on a whim, it's still fairly easy to arrange.

So...I guess Theresa May is a sort of palette-shifted Thatcher? - like in 8-bit games where they re-use the same enemy sprites with the same AI and everything, but use a different colour ramp...?

I would assume just a straight vote in Parliament...I don't think we have a constitutional mechanism to require anything else. Edit: specifically to repeal the act I mean. Not hold an election while the act is still in place. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Jul 11, 2016 |

Hoops posted:BBC are just killing Eagle with the photos they choose to use of her in their stories. There must be a handful of ones that don't make her look meek and terrified, even if she actually is all the time. I realise there are very real issues involved with criticizing a woman in a position of power for her appearance and attitude. At some point I fully expect someone, somewhere in Momentum or the Corbyn camp (whether genuine idiot or agent provocateur) to go and say something awful about her, and that to dominate a media cycle or two with artificial hand-wringing designed to take the shine off Corbyn in the eyes of the socially liberal. Having said all that. Every time I hear Eagle talk in front of a camera, I get the impression she doesn’t want to be there, and is somehow being blackmailed into this by some cabal in the PLP. Not that I’m saying a visual display of intense personal ambition is what I desire to see in a leader. But with Cobyn you can at least see how his convictions lead him to where he is, whereas I find it hard to see what is driving her other than 'forlorn hope' (in both meanings of the phrase). TLDR: Give us a smile, love  (Yay ironic sexism!)

As anything else to do with Parliament, a majority of MPs can repel the FTPA (or call no confidence) and allow a GE to be called. I don't think there's room on the parliamentary schedule for this to happen before the summer recess, so October GE at earliest.

NRVNQSR posted:Parliament needs a two thirds majority for "let's hold an election" or a simple majority for "no confidence in Her Majesty's Government". Hmm are either of these feasible? I can't see Labour MPs wanting to vote themselves out a job for the former option, and how could the Tories vote for no confidence in their new leader's government? Mr. Gibbycrumbles posted:So...I guess Theresa May is a sort of palette-shifted Thatcher? - like in 8-bit games where they re-use the same enemy sprites with the same AI and everything, but use a different colour ramp...? Is this your assessment based on carefully analysing her gender?

Don't be daft - this is a moment of excitement. When the traders realise in 2-3 days that the UK is still leaving and hosed, it'll start slipping again.
