Rory Stewart has just announced that he's not defending his seat at the next election.

 

He hasn't...in fact, he's done the opposite

:banghead: Leave won.

 

Leave won on the mandate of being able to secure great trade deals.

 

I’m fine with us leaving, just not with No Deal. It’s absolutely stupid. There is no way Johnson is ever getting a new deal with the EU when he can’t ecen pass legislation through his own country.

They do that they kill the Conservative Party.

 

Imagine being the Prime Minister to boot out Churchill's grandson out of the Tory Party. Gonna turn out a bit like turkeys voting for Christmas.

 

Turkeys voting for Christmas is people voting for the landed gentey Tory party in the first place :rofl:

:banghead: Leave won.

 

It didn't.

It didn't.

 

 

:rolleyes: Oh stop being so pedantic. :angry: You know leave won. Haven't you heard that May's been negotiating our exit with the EU since 2017? Why would she do that if remain had won? Maybe you think if you say it enough times it'll come true. I do think if there's a second referendum Remain will win though.

This pretty much sums it up for you doesn't it? "won" "lose". It's just a game.

 

Oh still waiting on your reply to what others have said about Boris blocking Mays "reasonable"(as you put it) deal 3 times and thus very much contributing to the mess we are in now.

 

I suspect you'll just slither away from replying to that one though because you know it's a valid point huh?

Long term decision.

 

You need major votes for major change. The end.

Minority government. Losing his first vote. Pushing on with unworkable and self-destructive policies. Deselecting any MP who stands against him. It's a train-wreck. Very well done to all of the Conservatives who stood up against Johnson for the good of the country.

It’s seemingly a way to get rid of the rebels from his party and replace them with Brexiteers at the upcoming election. Whether it’ll be as smooth sailing as that, I’m not sure.

Well then let's put it to the vote! Btw, we are FAAAR FAAAR closer to Europe geographically, militarily and are historically and economically INTERTWINED with Europe. Sorry. You are after pink unicorns :(

 

We're a lot closer, geographically, to Washington than Hawaii is.

And its people have American nationality, not Hawaiian. I thought you wanted to be British, just like you are at the moment.

Given the choice, I'd prefer being part of the USA than the EU.

I do, but as you can see from what I've quoted above, I said I'd *prefer* the USA, to the EU - but that's a purely hypothetical situation anyway.

Why would you prefer that?

Are you kidding me - after all my posts here you can't figure it out? :P

I’m not kidding — enlighten me.

Well, being one of the few Brexit supporters here, I'm obviously not too keen on Britain being politically linked to Europe :P - IMO the best way to put our economic interests first, is to only have *trading* links to Europe (as in the original Common Market), not social & political links.

Yeah so it’s basically going to kill the Conservative Party. Sure they might be able to push through Brexit, but they have basically become the Brexit Party. In the same way nobody really wants a true left wing government (sorry Michael) nobody really wants a full on right-wing government. Expelling the party of moderates (and the few moderates that are career driven so scared to vote against their own personal views) is a ridiculous move.

 

Boris could be over as prime minister before he’s even started.

Days before first defeats in office:

 

Attlee: 1707

Churchill: 747

Wilson: 385

Heath: 675

Callaghan: 84

Thatcher: 1321

Major: 831

Blair: 2929

Brown: 672

Cameron: 574

May: 462

Johnson: 42

Correlates best to the size of their majority, rather than their party affiliation or personality.

Lololol pink unicorns. The UK is intrinsically linked culturally and socially to Europe and always has been. Sorry. Next!
