Ministers Tour Uk To Sell Mrs May’S Deal

[naomi24]

Why? The people they are attempting to sell to have no say so what does she imagine this will achieve?

[youngmafbog]

She thinks we, the general pleb, will force our respective MP's to vote for it.

Shows just how out of touch Treason is.

[dannyk13]

She gets more desperate by the minute.

[jim360]

There are only three reasonable explanations:

1. An indirect way of pressuring MPs by encouraging constituents to support the deal;
2. Early campaigning for a general election;
3. Early campaigning for a second referendum.

If it's the third one, then much as I might like to see that referendum, it would utterly destroy whatever shreds of credibility May has left.

[naomi24]

I agree, danny. It does smack of desperation.

YMB, If she thinks the electorate trust her she's living in Cloud Cuckoo Land. This is just bizarre.

[naomi24]

Jim, does she, in your opinion, have a shred of credibility left? Not in mine.

[youngmafbog]

The woman has lost the plot. If she ever had it that is.

Useless Home Secretary and the worst PM the UK has ever had now IMHO.

I will not be voting Tory while her, Hammond or the other cohorts are at the helm.

[naomi24]

YMB, but what's the alternative? Make a stand by refusing to vote - and let Jeremy and his motley crew in?

For all her faults (I am no fan), Theresa May did not create this mess. The first referendum was a dog's breakfast, cobbled together to buy votes from some who would otherwise vote UKIP. We have a representative democracy for a reason. The majority in Parliament would prefer to remain, but the dissenters will never rest until they have destroyed this country. Who still believes we, the majority, will be better off, and why?

[dannyk13]

What does she hope to attain by sending ministers into schools?

[jim360]

We have different reasons for finding no credibility in Theresa May, I think. Right now, I have a small amount of sympathy for her because I think all the Brexiteers who are either backing her or resigning are just waiting to pin this whole mess on her so that they can seize power by claiming innocence, whereas really it's the fault of the entire cabinet, Brexiteers and Remainers alike.

Desperate times bring desperate measures. A Doomed to fail out of tune overture being played for a deaf, unwilling, audience. My question to Treason May would be......You say that we will not implement the "backstop", and that the EUSSR has also said that they will not either. So why is it there?

[naomi24]

JF85 // the dissenters will never rest until they have destroyed this country.//

I agree. The disdain for the result of the referendum and for the majority of the people who voted illustrates that.

[youngmafbog]

No jim, May does not listen to any of her cabinet. It is her way (and not just Brexit) or your out.

That is not a good leader.

And I do blame the rest of them, see a post I made earlier in another similar thread.

[Kromovaracun]

I expect May is fully aware of her deal's grim prospects in parliament. This looks like early campaigning to me.

[youngmafbog]

"YMB, but what's the alternative? Make a stand by refusing to vote - and let Jeremy and his motley crew in?"

At present I dont see them as any worse. May is currently trying to sell the country out to un-elected socialists, at lead Jezza can be voted out at some point.

Besides, with her stitch up he wont have much wriggle room to do anything anyway.

May will not go unless forced. She thinks that people are scared of Labour so she will just carry on wrecking the country.

Well she is wrong, I know I am not the only life long Tory who is starting to thing Jezza may not be so bad compared to a dictator.

[youngmafbog]

"This looks like early campaigning to me."

Quite possibly, but that too is a waste of time whilst May and her cohorts are at the helm.

[Khandro]

These whips are a group of clowns scrabbling around and issuing statements that "there's no plan B" as a threat, where in fact it's an admission of complete incompetence. To have wasted two years on only one plan is inexcusable.

[Jackdaw33]

O for a Brutus or a Cassius.

[jim360]

She *is* a bad leader, that much is clear. I guess I just think that at least she has tried, rather than run away from the problem in the hopes of escaping blame.

I think it's especially shameful and disgraceful, on the parts of Davis, Boris, and Raab, to have backed May in cabinet *before* resigning, rather than resigning without supporting her.

[Old_Geezer]

Too late (and won't change my opinion anyway), already urged my MP to stop ah, messing about, and get the no-deal option done. Not that I've had any reply yet.

GE is unlikely, disrespecting the already made decision had better be near impossible. Parliament seems to be playing fast & loose with public respect. Perhaps they all feel that the system has none left to lose.
