He may/may not have wanked over her but what they also never report is that he asked her to intervene to allow the Stonehenge Free Festival to continue without interference from the cops. He ended up in a mental hospital for the next 6 months which wasn't an unprecedented way to shut up the inconvenient. E: 44BC Julius Caesar assassinated. Good.

Lmao came here to post that. Especially funny considering Cameron called the referendum to quell the dissent amongst the party and has instead massively amplified it

Yeah exactly, the reason the EU had the 12th deadline in the first place is because we need to participate in EU elections if we want a longer extension, we can't be in the position where she runs it to the 22nd because there's clearly no guarantee she would pass anything by then which fucks the EU up.

I still don't quite get why participating in the EU elections is a problem? It's not like it binds us to remain in the parliament afterwards. Just... do the vote. I know it's expensive but in the grand scheme of brexit it's a drop in the loving bucket. But then, I'm thinking rationally about this, not Torily.

Also yeah it's still entirely possible that we willl still be in the EU for some time and the tories would likely get annihilated if she has to call them.

If we stay it's an issue, for sure, but it's not like our MEPs aren't rammed with fash already (like one of mine is literally Farage), and if we go, they all stop being in post. It's purely for the optics, isn't it. gently caress's sake, every time I think they just might actually be trying to do something for the benefit of the country for decades to come I have to stop and remind myself that no, they're just straight up doing the opposite of that because it's marginally better for themselves over the next couple of months.

Everything for May is framed in "what is best for the Conservative Party", Right now, no option is good for them so she will try to do nothing/spread the blame. They are petrified of any sort of public vote at the moment because the current situation is so toxic to a lot of their base.

I think you'll find that, as highlighted by a prominent campaign at one time, the money spent on elections of any kind come directly out of the Body Armour For Soldiers And Medical Supplies For Babies Fund. It's why we have to be very careful about what votes we have.

Constantly doing really badly in elections against Labour undermines the idea that Labour is unelectable. I've done a bit of canvassing lately for Labour in a Tory area. The people who want to talk the most on the doorstep are self-identifying Tories who are so angry with May they proclaim they can't see themselves voting Tory for the foreseeable future. Anecdotal I know, but I think their turnout will be depressed in the Council elections in May.

Yeah. It's loving hideous and totally inhuman what's going on with that poo poo. Don't Care In The Community is only one of the reasons I laughed when Thatcher died but it's a bloody big one.

I'd be pretty surprised if any of these people claiming they will NEVER VOTE TORY AGAIN are actually telling the truth tbh. Once May has gone they'll quietly tape thei cards back together (or for that matter, quietly ignore the fact that they cut up last year's card, or that the card is pretty irrelevant as a means of identifying party memberships) and go right back to voting arsehole again.

Absolutely, I'm sure most would return to the fold in a GE, but on May 2nd if 10% wander off to the far right and 10% stay at home then the Council elections could be good for Labour bearing in mind the usual low turnouts. EDIT : Hope is a lie - UKIP to win councils across the board
