I imagine most of them had dreams of some sort of desperate last stand for their careers that worked, and are now making their peace with the fact that it didn't. I think they probably regret making fools of themselves but not the actual choice to leave politics. None of them ever had any chance of being Prime Minister any more and the possible futures of brexit Britain, comrade Corbyn, neoliberalism still not magically working etc wouldn't have incentivised them to stay.

Did the CUKs lose their seats or something? I thought you all aren't going to have another election for 4 years or something.

The EU election is in a few days, CUKs raison d'être was single issue Remainers but those voters broke to the Lib Dems. Because literally no CUK dared to even try to get elected on their own merits/party affiliation the CUK MPs do get to just steal seats in Parliament on a technicality until 2022. But after May steps down following her next failed withdrawal deal Johnson will win the tory leadership and enough tories hate him to not support him forming a government, so we're heading to a GE and every cuk will lose their seat there. I was wrong to describe them as leaving politics entirely but that is what they've done, in a year they'll all be earning multiple times the median UK salary to help privatise the NHS or some other evil poo poo.

It's worth pointing out that May isn't stepping down after her vote fails for a 4th (5th) time like everyone has decided. She will then begin the process of agreeing when to step down lol How long could negotiations with May possibly take?

I have to admit I’m getting pretty sick of Corbyn not ejecting these idiots from Labour. you will lose many seats keeping these people on. the press will look for them to say more like this to publish and trumpet loudly.

Nonsense posted:I have to admit I’m getting pretty sick of Corbyn not ejecting these idiots from Labour. you will lose many seats keeping these people on. the press will look for them to say more like this to publish and trumpet loudly. He's trying to maintain the delicate truce in the PLP - getting rid of Hodge (technically it's not up to him anyway, but, you know) would be a huge red flag to much of the party when things are already strained over Brexit. Fortunately most of the useless fuckers seem intent on jumping ship and committing political suicide without the leadership needing to actually do anything, I wouldn't be surprised if Margaret Hodge was the next to go. She was probably thinking of defecting to the CUKs until she saw how badly they shat the bed.

And for all the good it would do for as long as May stays in office his position could also be to eat all the Brexits himself.

Vitamin P posted:It's also the right thing to do tho. The super principled guy didn't suddenly stop being super principled. I will strongly disagree. Looking at how people have no idea what Brexit actually loving is and what it was supposed to do for the UK over the past three years, as well as clear outright criminal lies and (in my opinion) conspiracy to create a crisis in order to privatize the NHS and other public services, I think that for all parties involved that Brexit needs to be cancelled. This was an act of political malpractice by numerous elected officials and should be punished to the fullest extent in the court of law - admittedly, political malpractice isn't a crime. However, I think the drama around Brexit is reason enough to make it one.
