May has finally loving admitted that she needs to speak with other parties to come to some sort of agreement. Only two years too late. Not sure it'll do much good at this point tho. https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1085266816753172482 Norton the First posted:The British are so advanced in their manners that they've evolved a kind of decorum which still allows for insulting people to their faces on the floor of the house.

So she’ll be safe from another confidence motion for a year? Sounds like the perfect time to cancel brexit. How shrewd of her! I bet by the next GE they’ll be blaming it on Labour.

Grondoth posted:CALL ANOTHER REFERENDUM YOU DUDES This is probably a situation that can’t be resolved “democratically” or by plebiscite imo since a third wants to stay, a third wants to leave, and a third wants to renegotiate. All sides are intractable, mutually exclusive, and none command a majority.

I bet by the next GE they’ll be blaming it on Labour. She isn't the subject of the confidence motion, her government is, and there's no limit to how many motions it can face. You're probably thinking of when she was previously subject to a confidence motion within the Tory party and won, which means that, according to party rules, she can't face another one for a year. That was just for party leadership.
