So 57% of the voting public didn’t want her at the last election, now 37% of her own MPs don’t want her! And this is the person we have entrusted to lead us through the most turbulent of times!
Laughable, almost as laughable as her entrance at the Tory party conference...

She did. She had to say she wouldn't stand for re-election in 2022 though. And a third of her MPs want her gone. It's a pyrrhic victory IMO.

What really is laughable is believing someone else might do better. I mean, there are just so many to choooooose from.
Glass half empty, 63% for. With Corbyn disliked by many Labour MP’s as we know. Politics has always been a vipers nest.

Down to the pub for a piss up....
People keep saying "well... 'x percent' of her party voted against her... " - but the fact is the majority want her to stay. That's a fact.
The other fact is, who on earth would want her job right now? I'd rather be a sewage maintenance worker with no wellies.
You don't really understand politics do you?
Red-tinted lenses give the hate.
The fact is the majority want her to carry the can. That's a fact.

That's our electoral system not her. The one that got us here in the first place.
The one that could deliver Corbyn on a minority, where the very same system would suddenly become popular with whiners.
Trying to put some spin on the figures to justify his existence.

I understand politics and politicians perfectly - they are all a bunch of self serving shits who would stab each other in the back without a second glance.

What is really laughable is that people think she has been backed. In reality no-one wants her job now. In a years time when she’s gone watch the squabble then! She played her trump card by saying she wouldn’t lead into next election.
You’re probably right.
When do you see sanity in Westminster, with a government of any colour not being destroyed by critics and the media?
I can’t see anything else for many years to come.

To be honest I think the best thing we could have for the next election or two is a coalition, so we can get the country on an even keel and ride out the waves of Brexit.
I could see a returned Tory government using Brexit as an excuse for even more Draconian austerity measures, and we all know who will suffer most from that, the poor, the elderly and the disabled.
A green Momentum SNP coalition? With a pinch of liberals and DUP?
I'd rather have one party, more coherent, more unity.
Oh.
Not having a majority in the commons, took away any chance of stability.
A Corbyn Labour-SNP coalition would lead to the media and opponents focus on the special deals (£££££) being given to the Scots, even more so than their already generous Barnett Formula deal. In the same way as the DUP deal, we’d need hear the last of it. Angering English MP’s and electorate. A moderate Labour leadership would’ve had a chance of a GE victory, which would be far more stable. Too late now.

Of course she’ll be gone after Brexit. Bloody hope so for her own health, she’s earnt it! I cannot think of a single credible politician who had the support of MPs and the electorate who would have done a better job - can you? Not allowed to use hindsight btw. Cameron’s just resigned, it’s the morning after the big vote, the country is still in shock, step forward...who?
