Nonsense, the EU referendum was to appease some within his own party.

lloy is ready for them...

The Martians are coming? ;)

No, of course it isn't Cameron's fault. The nation was already divided before he decided on the referendum. And, as Joe says, with even the slightest bit of reasonableness the EU itself could have defused the issue.

If you're looking for one, single individual to blame, try Mrs Merkel. She was the one who highlighted the extreme peril of allowing this country to be governed by an alien power.

General Election to me a certainty, Tories get slaughtered, Corbyn just about gets in without overall control, banks, utilities all come off bigtime.

[cheshire pete] 28/5/2019 15:29

Absolutely Joe, the iron fist of the EU crushes dissent because they know that if it is allowed to succeed the whole project could fall apart.

Not sure how hard Cameron negotiated though or whether he followed the trade union strategy of asking for twice what you want so you end up with what you need.

[joe say] 28/5/2019 15:17

Not really Cameron's fault - the EU could have partially met his 'demands' and then the whole referendum vote would have petered out to nothing

Their intransigence contributed to the end result

The Conservatives perceive Farage and his Brexit party to be their biggest threat, as such it's nailed on that a hard line, hard right, Brexiteer will be elected as their new leader.

That will of course have repercussions, however it's probably the lesser of two evils from their own perspective.

Ultimately the nation is completely divided and there doesn't really appear any way of bringing it back together.

Mr Cameron has a lot to answer for..............

[grahamite2] 28/5/2019 15:00

Max, there speaks your average, normal Conservative Party supporter.

"Pass the sick bucket" is very much the standard reaction to talk of Gove.

........"often it's unknown whether the decision made was for the best, but at least life goes on"...……...

This is the ST post where I take exception.

On a personal basis if I take a £1k position life will go on whether the decision works or not. If however I take a £1m position I can not be so flippant in my decision making process.

ST was alluding to Brexit; this is not a £1k decision.

Reading back over the news, I see that when Leadsom made the gaff, if you can call it that, by saying that being a Mum gave her a stake in the country's future, IDS and others reckoned she was subject to organised negative reporting to shoe in May.

[minerve 2] 28/5/2019 14:38

Nothing to do with me old boy. I'm just Minerve 2.

[jacko07] 28/5/2019 14:09

Welcome back exlogica, oh sorry to see that you are now LOD and not LAD.

Another alias conjured up by Minerve, 1 2 3 next, too much spare time in the silly little troll's sad life.

I DONT KNOW WHY WE ARE WASTING TIME TIME TALKING ABOUT TWO COMPLETELY DEAD PARROTS[PARTIES]

[grahamite2] 28/5/2019 13:56

I think you're right to be cautious, Max, but I also think it's gone beyond that. The remoaner hard left of the Conservative Party have overplayed their hand. As a result, "you've GOT to vote for us, otherwise you get Corbyn" simply doesn't wash any more. Normal conservatives have got to the point of saying, well, so what? How much worse than you lot can he be?

If both candidates presented to the general membership are remoaners, the Party is finished, that simple. Those who went Brexit Party won't go back.

[maxk] 28/5/2019 13:49

Yes, but she wasnt alone.

Now watch the hidden hand try to parachute another remainer into the top job.

[grahamite2] 28/5/2019 13:33

'I've done my best': to 'serve the country she loves'

It makes me sick to the stomach just reading this again. She's done her best to destroy the country she hates, and the Party she hates too.

[cheshire pete] 28/5/2019 13:25

Thanks maxk.

[minerve 2] 28/5/2019 13:22

Bye. Good luck, you'll need it! ;)

[martinfrench] 28/5/2019 13:17
