Is there any possibility of a second referendum being called for a leave/remain vote? Particularly if a re-election results in a Labour government or is it an absolute certainty from this point? With all the uproar at present and the very real chance for political change as well as the slim majority and length of time required could the first round of negations result in Britain backing down and admitting it was a mistake?

Public mood would have to change substantially

i understand not going out in front of the actual victims because she's scared of them (even if i don't condone it) but when was the last time she actually appeared on camera or talked to a journalist

it's like she's hoping everyone will forget she's supposed to be in charge

It's been her style from the start. It worked till now because May was somehow lucky enough to go a year without a major crisis

Naming a donor or a political supporter as ambassador to an established ally is one of the less crazy things Trump has done. Postings in Western Europe are typically used as gifts. That doesn't mean it's a good thing, but it's not new for this President.

If this were actually true then Hillary would have won. It's more likely they came out to vote for something, like a manifesto pledges, a leader that spoke to them or sovreignty.

This isn't really knowable; Trump's strategy was shaped around how the election actually worked. Assuming instead it was an election with no electoral college it stands to reason that his strategy would have drastically changed.

The House. The problem is the GOP got the House in 2010 and basically got to draw districts such that if there isn't a very powerful wave election against them they functionally cannot lose the lower house. We're talking an average national opinion swing of like 8-10% against them.

Our system is loving awful

Ironically the house race is the one they did get a majority of the vote in (Although it was close)
