Enlighten A Young Fool

117 of theresa mays Tory MP’s tabled a motion of No Confidence in her Leadership just 2/3 weeks ago. So that 117 see her as unfit to lead them.

Last night did the same 117 voted to express their confidence in her government?

If so surely that implies they think she’s unfit to lead the Tory Party but ok to lead the country through brexit?

Moot....moot....it's all completely moot.....

Turkeys voting for Christmas

[Canary42]

Self-interest, like almost all MPs. Party before country.

[spathiphyllum]

I just don't get how the voting works

[CrapAtCryptics]

Wanting to keep their jobs perhaps.

Spath, the second vote was one of no confidence in the government.Tory MP's were obviously not going to vote against themselves.Hope you are now enlightened.

[spathiphyllum]

If they have confidence IN their party, why are they asking the opinions of other parties?

[dannyk13]

Spath, the other parties voted against May's deal.What May is asking for is a way to overcome their objections.

[spathiphyllum]

Why should their objections mean anything to May and the Conservatives? They're not the political party in power.

She's considered not best choice of leader, but better than any other party could provide. I'd have thought that obvious from the contest types, personally.

[dannyk13]

Spath, because she will need their approval of any new plan that is put forward.

[spathiphyllum]

Interesting.

An unsolvable conundrum. Who leads is largely irrelevant. 1 billion internet ads were targeted on British voters to foment unrest against a Europe within which we flourished, made decisions WITH, moved freely amongst. We were always about AVERAGE for immigration within Europe.Some actually conflated Turkey joining AND its 70 million population! Talk about 'Project Fear'. Now true Brexit is exposed as a No Deal exit which is, by experts' ( remember them) consensus, going to equal a recession of 30's proportions.

[dannyk13]

Dreamer, irrelevant to the OP.

[spathiphyllum]

eh we're in chatter bank, it's relevant to brexit ;)

[Old_Geezer]

[dannyk13]

Spath, tour OP is about Tory MP's voting, not about Brexit per se.

[spathiphyllum]

I get ya, but the whole political movement in the UK at the moment is based around brexit

[Old_Geezer]

Not so. But some wish it were,
