How Long Before May Goes?

[Gromit]

Looking at the headlines on todays newspapers, it would be easy to surmise that the Prime Minister doesn’t have much of a future

How did the Conservatives get this bad ?

[Ellipsis]

The Conservatives are like democracy - the worst form of government, except for all the others.

(with apologies to Winston Churchill)

Gromit; //In Germany the voters were so fragmented that a grand coalition wasn’t even easy (they are still struggling to form it). //

There's really no need for such a struggle, the reason it exists is because of the refusal to work with the AfD who have 92 seats, more than the CSU who are in power with only 46, more than the FDP with 80 and more than the Greens who have 67.

If there is another election I think you will see the AfD numbers soar - which is Merkel's greatest fear - and then it won't be a matter of choice, they will have to become part of the Government.

Khandro, I didn't say anything about the Standard being complimentary towards May. It isn't, it's just equally uncomplimentary about Labour. This equality is new.

jno; Well that's good news, thanks
