Gamston Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Why didn't Cameron just stay? He said he was leaving because of Brexit and he campaigned for remain - but all the the Brexit divs have gone now and now we've got a PM that campaigned for remain also. Cameron lost the referendum and knew he was finished, which is why he didn't stay. Boris knew he was finished when Gove stabbed him in the back. Gove was finished when everyone knew he had stabbed Boris in the back. Mrs Leadsom was finished when she shot herself in the foot. Mrs May did more sitting on the fence than campaigning, which is why she is the new Prime Minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) I thought for the first instance it had to be a vote of no confidence in the government, not the leader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-term_Parliaments_Act_2011 It would be rather bizarre for May to propose a motion of no confidence in her own government - although the way things are going at the moment.......................... I didn't think Cameron was going to vacate no.10 that quick and hadn't yet seen his address, when I posted at 16:04. ---------- Post added 11-07-2016 at 21:34 ---------- I am not familiar with the EEA I am not going to pretend I know about the EEA I am not going to Google about the EAA and then pretend I am an expert about it. I voted to leave the EU and the UK is leaving the EU. I am happy. That's worthy of a double face palm, bordering on a triple :hihi: Edited July 11, 2016 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*_ash_* Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 That's worthy of a double face palm, bordering on a triple :hihi: If everyone who was asked this in their way into the polling station, I doubt the percentage of people would be very high, amongst remainers or brexiters.

It doesn't mean I have to respect them and that I have to refrain from calling them out about their voting choice. For that is also democracy. Tough gig this democracy business, innit?

taxman Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Really pleased Theresa May is the new PM, she'll bring pragmatism, leadership and a balance to the country. She's been a senior cabinet member for years, why hasn't brought those qualities already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
