I1L2T3 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think on Brexit any new PM would call a GE within a year. Surely they would have to. Brexit voters are from all over the political spectrum. It doesn't necessarily follow they are endorsing Gove and Johnson. Basically the parties would have to seek a mandate to push forward their own vision on how Brexit would be managed.

They don't have to but I hope they do for the reasons you stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a nagging doubt that is not what is planned at all. If we vote to Brexit then I want a say in how we Brexit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be added to the campaign that an OUT vote will mean definite GE. The remain camp won't want this advertised, because it would lose if this was the case.

Hmm, are you saying that possibly people seem this as a way of getting Johnson or Gove as PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yes, guaranteed to make sure the conservatives get booted out. I'm convinced she has none of her own original thoughts. Basically a halfwit. You obviously have a better knowledge than me of the lady's ability. She hasn't done bad for herself though, if she is basically a halfwit.

It's fair to say she's earned her nickname: Priti Vacant Listen to her interview on The Today program a few days ago. It's like a comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_ash_* Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hmm, are you saying that possibly people seem this as a way of getting Johnson or Gove as PM Well, I've heard/seen a lot of people saying that they won't vote out because it means they are agreeing/following Farage/IDS/Gove/Boris. This is short-sighted as I've said over and over, because if Boris was PM, he can be voted out next time, or if vote of no confidence. People's vote in this ref shouldn't be based on political affiliation because as you say, all parties are split to some extent. There is no need to strategically vote like in GE's. I think in general, people will vote for what they think is best for them and their families (which is what I think people should do, unlike GE with its obvious unfairness depending on which constituency you live in, meaning many people have to vote with strategy over wish). I expect lower wage areas (north in particular) will vote out, even in Labour strongholds. If on Monday, it was announced that there would be a GE in 3 months or so if we Brexit, can you imagine the changes in the polls? I would expect a lot of current remainers/anti-tories/ or these short-term thinkers, might alter their vote to Brexit to try and get DC/BG or whoever out.

El Cid Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Why do you think she is awful ? I distinctly remember her on TV and I did not like her personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 We need a GE, regardless of the result. Cameron and Osborn have behaved awfully and I don't want them to think a remain vote means they've done a great job or won an argument for me.
