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..............

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.

'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

because you know me so well, make lots of assumptions dont we and of course evidence isnt really your thing is it ?

even though a lloyds shareholder will go back to my other threads and leave embarrassing you to others on here, which they do very well.

[maxk] 28/5/2019 13:15

Here you go pete.

How does a Conservative Party leadership contest work?
DANIEL HEWITT POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT



Tory leadership contenders


A Conservative Party leadership contest is set to begin on June 10. Credit: PA


'I've done my best': May to resign as Tory leader on June 7
May abandons her attempt to 'serve the country she loves'
Theresa May’s legacy will be defined by Brexit chaos


The race to find Theresa May’s successor as leader of the Conservative Party has begun. While she holds the fort at 10 Downing Street, continuing in her role as Prime Minister, her party will begin a two-stage process that could take as little as six weeks, starting on June 10.

Firstly, there’s the parliamentary stage.

Those Conservative MPs who want the top job will put their names forward to the chair of the 1922 committee Sir Graham Brady, who oversees the contest. In 2016, each leadership candidate needed two MPs to nominate them (a proposer and seconder) in order to get on the ballot paper.

MPs then vote in order to whittle the names down to two candidates.

Each MP is issued a ballot paper and votes in secret. The first round usually takes place on the first Tuesday after the close of nominations.

In each round, the candidate with the fewest votes is knocked out. Votes have historically taken place on alternate Tuesdays and Thursday until only two MPs remain. It’s a pretty quick and brutal process, and should be completed within two weeks.

That’s stage one. In stage two, the power then transfers to the Tory membership.

Each paid-up member of the Conservative Party receives a postal ballot, and they will vote for one of the two MPs put forward by the parliamentary party.

The length of both stages is dictated by the 1922 Executive Committee (18 backbench Tory MPs) and the Conservative Party Board.

In 2016, the second stage was scheduled to last two months, but Andrea Leadsom stood down from the contest before it could get that far. This could be shortened to a month this time around in order to get the new leader in place before the summer recess on July 24th.

During the second stage, the two candidates will take part in a series of hustings around the country. Again, exactly how many of these events take place will be decided by the aforementioned party bodies.

Once the members vote and the winner is declared, Theresa May will go to Buckingham Palace to tender her resignation to her Majesty the Queen, and the new Tory leader will be invited to take up the role as Prime Minister with immediate effect.

I know it is difficult for you to comprehend, but some of us actually achieve great things. We don't sit in armchairs looking for excuses for our failures in life. Of course the current scapegoat is the EU, what will it be next?

Your type are always on a good excuse and you dismiss or deny the success of others because it softens your own miserable predicament. ;)

[cheshire pete] 28/5/2019 13:07

Agree Max, even remain Tory MPs likely to vote Boris if they have small majorities because they know that he is the only candidate who could get the party and themselves re-elected. Are the ballots secret though, if not they might have some explaining to do if they back Boris for leader then vote against no deal once he's in.

[martinfrench] 28/5/2019 13:00

so your comparing yourself to bill gates and jeff bezos now? interesting, have you ever sought help of any kind for your delusion ?

what a loser

[maxk] 28/5/2019 12:59

Hunt never had a chance anyway, at least not with the membership.

[cheshire pete] 28/5/2019 12:57

Hunt inconsistent, now talking against no deal. What does he not understand about the Brexit vote and the turquoise map of England and Wales. Any contender still ambivalent about leaving no deal has no chance of being leader.

[cheshire pete] 28/5/2019 12:52

Poikka:
"Poikka: 563:
Heathrow is owned and operated by BAA Limited, which also owns/operates six other UK airports and is itself owned by an international group led by the Spanish Ferrovial Group."

I know, Pete, but that was a fair deal, wasn't it? Can't blame EU for that - I think.

Maybe it was a fair deal and in this case without a subsidy from the EU, but would it have happened if we hadn't been in the EU? We'll probably never know, but I doubt it somehow.

[grahamite2] 28/5/2019 12:49

Tories don't understand, still, that they lost votes to both leave and remain, simply because they are trying to please everybody and actually please no one.

It doesn't help, but that is absolutely not the reason. They were crushed because they are proven liars whose word cannot be trusted, and because they have turned our democracy into a farce through doing the exact opposite of what they said they'd do in their manifesto.

[minerve 2] 28/5/2019 12:49

Maybe it was Logica! ROFLMAO!

[holts] 28/5/2019 12:48

Xxxxxy ,

What good is that ? No one needs us any more and no one is going to do us any favours , chances are they can get what they want elsewhere , Europe between them can afford each to lose some business with us , we can not afford en masse to lose business with them all at the same time .

Yes Europe needs reform , there is nothing we can do from the outside , the only gain to us would be if the whole project blew up , then we would be ahead of the game .
