May shed a tear

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40592808

Don't cry for me Argentina.

Poor Theresa, an arrogant miscalculation followed by a hug and a tear for her position.

Interesting that superstition determines some actions. Maybe being brought up in a religious setting suppressed her critical thinking. Hopefully she doesn't let superstition affect her decision making.

"She said she did not regret calling the election because "I think it was the right thing to do at the time"."

Couldnt agree more

Who says she's indecisive?

She could resign...

Why should she do that - simply please the baying dogs of the left? Theresa May may be many things and some may not be agreeable but she's got a damned site more backbone and balls than the spineless Bullingdon Boy Cameron who, having suffered a defeat, promptly resigned. And that having pledged to stay-on.

Woof woof.

Welcome back Markham, it was like you'd never left.

She'd be pleasing the baying dogs on the right. The left hope she stays a bit longer, through at least 5 defections and by elections at least.

Could you please supply a list of those you think will be likely to defect?

I think we're talking about different things here. Five MPs from the Tories to the other parties (whether defections and /or by election defeats) removes their working majority.

You're talking about a single vote/issue, I'm looking forward to the Government falling. The current setup is a mess and is damaging business.

Watch this space. The rumours are not going away. Evidence on 1 of the Tory MPs is strong, the second less so.

In that case it's pure conjecture - no, wishful thinking on your part.

It is a fair argument.

Although, the fact that even talk of defection is causing concern in Tory (and the Veteran's Party, I forgot you switched party a few days before you left the forum, and a few days before you stopped posting on the politics forum) hearts is highlighting what another fine mess the Tories have gotten us into.

Bit of a U Turn then Mark?

Are you not a May supporter then?

I think she's great. Would make a great character in a sitcom.

Some Mothers Do 'ave 'em

Ooohhhh Phillip

If he is trying to follow his hero, Theresa May, then I look forward to the next installment where he asks us all to come together to support Brexit.

Those two statements are not mutually-exclusive. It is perfectly possible to admire aspects of a person whom you otherwise dislike. I admire Jeremy Corbyn for sticking to his principles even those those principles were badly dated when he adopted them. In fact Jeremy was a far more honourable and principled man before he became Labour's leader than he is now.

A glowing endorsement on the politics forum that you no longer post on.

Have to admire your flexible Principles (oxymoronic as that maybe) and glad Jeremy has

given you a way out once he becomes PM Last Paragraph.

.Ms May should be proud of your wavering support
