Teresa May & The Convention Of Human Rights

[Khandro]

She now says, despite having said the opposite earlier, that she wants to remain with the people who have prevented her from deporting so many terrorists.
Wasn't removal from their jurisdiction, part of the reason for many voting for Brexit?

Mikey:
Gove - the Woody Allen of the Tories ( without the humour).

[Jackdaw33]

In fairness Major was Chancellor and was known.

[naomi24]

Jackdaw, you beat me to it. I was just about to say that.

[Old_Geezer]

For me he was only known really due to Maggie's approval for him as successor. But there again I don't have a great interest in politics, only in the mess the politicians make. (You'd hope you could leave them alone to get on with it and get it right, but they seem to have an aversion to that.)

It looks like an all female final. Money still on May.

[Gromit]

The Tories have a bad record at picking leaders.
Major, Hague, IDS and Howard. Cameron failed to win a majority in 2010.

Thatcher and Cameron were very inexperienced when they won so they could vote for the banker who no one has heard of. Rule out Gove and Fox. It's a two horse race.

The majority of Tory MPs are Remainers, so an establishment fix of putting two Remainers on the ballot paper for the full membership vote.

They need someone sensible to accept the New Deal from the EU.

[Old_Geezer]

You don't just accept "deals", that would be impositions; you negotiate them.

[Gromit]

OG,
The New Deal is being thrashed out at this very moment in Brussels. British and EU civil servants are putting together a package.
It will involved curtailing free movement, probably by a quota system based on population density. That will ensure the UK gets the maximum benefit. There will be other benefits.
The New Deal will be revealed after May is elected, and before the Party Conferences.
They won't risk another Referendum, or MPs voting on the New Deal. So a snap election will be called to act as a second vote on leaving.
The Conservatives will easily win that.

[ladybirder]

After reading up about her I'd like to see Leadsom get it. But we'll see ...

Gromit
Could you please tell me where I can buy a crystal ball like the one you apparentlyl have?

[Old_Geezer]

I was under the impression that mainly the EU were talking among themselves at present. Nice to hear that's not the case.

So, Gromit, you are saying you expect the result to be rejected due to still not having control regarding whether folk come here or not ?

[Gromit]

OG
The EU/British bureaucrats designing the New Deal Package have to find the sweet spot between not giving up too much, and presenting something the British public can say "that's enough, I can accept this".
Even so, they will not risk another yes/no vote. Instead the Conservatives put accepting New Deal in their manifesto, and the public by electing another Tory Government, have decided to Stay in a new EU after all.

[naomi24]

Gromit, are you privy to inside information - or are you guessing?

[dannyk13]

Gromit
You had better tell Theresa May because if elected she will appoint a MInister for Brexit.
Again I ask you where can I purchase a crystal ball like yours?

[Bigbad]

We need an ‘out’ supporter for PM to ensure that we get what was democratically voted for.
I think an ‘in’ supporter will sell us down the river - most likely The Rhine and The Danube.

[naomi24]

^Yes, we do.

[dannyk13]

We yet get one in the form ofAndrea Leadsom

[Bertrum]

We are going off track from the OPs question but it just gets better

[naomi24]

^Sounds good to me.

[Gromit]

// You had better tell Theresa May because if elected she will appoint a MInister for Brexit. //

Will it be anything like the Minister for Climate Change? A way to sideline and do nothing? Does May tell you who the Brexit Minister will be? If they are an In or outer? Just a clever way of getting Leave voters to vote for her before she ignores the Referendum.
