Should May Go Yes/No

IronGiant

Having two PM's bottling it over Brexit isn't going to get us a good deal in the EU, or a good relationship with them.  At the very least she needs to stay around long enough to get the negotiations started.

Agreed. Junker says he is ready to receive the UK deligation. His door opens 9.30 in the morning!

If it wasn't for Brexit she should resign. The start of negotiations can be delayed but the end cannot. The clock started ticking from submitting Article  50.

The only people really celebrating the result of the GE are over in Brussels.

The last thing we would want is for May to go now IMHO.

The immature adversarial politics really has to stop - we're in danger of having the nasty US bullsh*t here, aided by an array of toxic individuals only out for themselves. This election result is a wake-up call for unity and bipartisanship. A ridiculous majority (likely based on a not too dissimilar percentage of the popular vote) could have been very bad for the country with growing disquiet. A talented cross-party negotiation team with parliamentary oversight would be best for this nation imho, putting the U back into UK.

Immature and adversarial politics, why am I thinking DUP?

Politics is adversarial - it's the nature of the beast to be in disagreement and confrontational, it keeps the adult key players sharp. Consensual politics must of course be a large part of the mix otherwise constant bickering and squabbling could lead to disunity and chaos. Balance is the key.

Immaturity is another matter, this is the main cause of the erosion of achievement, it eats into the foundations and undermines the integrity of the political structure.

Oops, better stop there, noticed I've gone into lecture mode and waxing lyrical.

Yes its time for Bozo

Because the left has an issue with democracy when it doesn't get the result it likes?

Oh look.

MAY OUT - NO COALITION WITH THE D.U.P!

I keep reading about DUP's conservative policies. But surely in N. Ireland all parties hold similar views? Don't tell me the Catholics embrace the LGBT Community?

It used to be civilised and constructive. But look at how their less sophisticated manipulative populist (left or right wing) rhetoric now bitterly polarises and divides nations, especially in this social networking fake news echo chamber era.

Just look at another thread where it's my terrorist supporting guy is better than your terrorist supporting guy, or look across the pond where its 'deplorables' vs 'cucks'/'snowflakes'.

Things have got far worse since Jo Cox's murder. It's a powder keg waiting for a spark from an extremist of any side.
