bickster Posted November 16, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2018 Would she actually be mad enough to risk a "this house has full confidence in the Government" motion? Brain instantly kicks in, yes she is that mad, she called a General Election to strengthen her hand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be clear here. I presume you are talking about an internal Conservative Party No Confidence motion as opposed to a Confidence Motion in the Government which is what is rumoured to be happening this afternoon?

peterms Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Classic bit of comment from Adrian Chiles on R5, on the lines "Some very big brains have been working on this, like David Davis, Dominic Raab, Boris Johnson..." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 So, after a vote of no confidence, the Conservatives will choose an unelected leader to renegotiate Brexit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Why would everyone be called back to parliament for a no confidence vote in the tory leader ? - as I understand it there is no vote as such - if they receive more than 40 odd no confidence letters - a Tory leadership ballot is triggered - they wouldn't be that far down the line this afternoon - we don't even know who stand in such a ballot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in order to bully, I'm sorry I meant persuade, some of the waverers not to send in their letters in order for the 48 not to be arrived at.
