It's even better if you watch the movie with the idea that those newscasts in the beginning are lies and propaganda, and Britain is as bad off as the rest of the world or worse

I always assumed Britain was actually one of the worst off, because the people doing research were on a boat. If Britain was actually stable, why wouldn't they be hiding there?

Don't forget to show my shitposts to the people. They're well worth seeing.

Maybe her plan is to be an idiot until she gets thrown out but a vote of no confidence, so that the EU is more sympathetic to her successor. The old good PM bad PM routine.

Isn't "The Independent Group" not actually a political party, because they don't want to reveal their money suppliers? Or am I working with old information?

They're not, they are called 'The Independent Group' because parliamentary tradition mandates that for any non-party group of aligned MPs. They did register the name as a business though in a transparent effort to conceal donations. As a bigger bloc than e.g. DUP it's predictable that they would be invited to negotiations.

that is correct. Inviting them is literally insane

A) Not a political party
B) No future- don't have to live with the consequences
C) Will do anything to avoid a GE, so they can't be trusted to stick with anything that hurts the tories

You’re right, but they are also the fourth biggest grouping of MPs, and the meeting is about a vote that will pass by single figure votes if it passes. Doing it without him would be counterproductive, however objectionable May and Corbyn find TIG

If you think TIG will join a largescale humiliation of the tories that might result in a general election, you're out of your mind. You'd have better luck with safe-seat tory remainers.

No the TIGs are the purest distillation of Westminster bullshit that has ever existed

They are of course a private company not a political party. They of course will not even pretend that having a democratic mandate matters.

If you look at things with a moral lens then just consider the scummiest possible option and congrats you already know what the TIGs will do.

Get hosed. The TIGs have no moral or democratic legitimacy and should be excluded from any business of government until they have a legitimate democratic mandate.

TIGgers are still respective members of their original parties. There's no reason to invite any of them because they're not a real opposition group.
