You are misunderstanding.

In a vote of no-confidence, if Boris gets kicked out, then there is 14 days for another Government ( lead by this poll winner !! ) to win a subsequent confidence vote without an election.


Didnt I hear that if he loses he doesnt have to go and then The Queen would have to either sack him or re affirm him to ciontinue. In a vote of no confidence IMHO the MPs should vote according to the result in their constituencies not on a personall preference, the nations wishes shouyld take precedence.

Oooh, the wife and I are on our way to see Miss Langford in 9 to 5 the musical. I will wait at the stage door and see if she is willing to take on the challenge. :thumbsup:

If she declines then I will scweam and scweam and scweam until she accepts.

Well... there's good news and there's bad news I'm afraid.The good news is she's accepted the position. The bad news is she's chosen her Deputy PM

that would be party whip then. a non confidence vote is not a single issue matter.

You could have heard that, but you seem not to have heard that that only applies if an alternative Government with confidence doesn't form within the 1st 14 days.

This shouldnt even be considered the country voted to leave and leave they should but hang on lets have another vote and keep on until those that want to remain get a majority, and forget democracy and the wishes of the people.

Think Crodo posted this thread as bit of "Tongue in Cheek" humour BG (but you never know).

Without wishing to hijack this thread, you make some valid points about democracy.

I know that you are a pensioner. I, myself will be drawing my state pension in a (very) few years time.

If the economy suffers as many economists say, from a "No Deal" Brexit I am sure that you will agree, that we should all suffer the burden. If the worst comes to worst, shouldn't we forgo all pension rises until the economy is right, or even take some pension cuts?

I voted remain but am happy to take the hit. We don't just hit the workers and democracy is protected.

What say you BG? are you with me? :thumbsup:

Martine Mclutcheon as deputy PM.

Mario Ballotelli as Environment minister

Kevin Keegan Minister of Defence

Harry Redknapp as Chancellor

I'm all for this, just to see Redknapp on budget day with his briefcase on the passenger seat hanging out giving Laura Keussenberg all the updates on what he's got up his sleeve...

What are you talking about? If you are talking about the EU Referendum, that is entirely invalid, as an indicator of the public's wishes regards a no-deal Brexit. Nobody has ever had an opportunity to express their wishes for or against that - in fact Vote Leave campaigned very explicitly on the premise that a 'no-deal' was out of the question, and that we would 'only leave with a good deal in place'. So, I presume you would instruct those MP in constituencies that supported that campaign, to vote down the government?

Get Blair back please. Best PM we have had for 50 years. And he’s got the stones to call a halt to Brexit and tough enough to stand up to the whining Brexiteers and put them back in their place.
Yes, Blair.

Really, someone who remains unaccountable for numerous avoidable military deaths ?

If we are talking getting someone in with immediate effect to reverse Brexit and save the UK then Blair is one of the few I can think of that has the spine to stand up to the Brexiteer bullies and sort this mess out. Then get him out.

The ballot paper made no mention of any kind of deal, just Leave or Remain.
