Will this be a no confidence within the Conservative party or a full have to have an election no confidence. Your system fascinates and confuses me.

@monte3 within the conservative party, so only their members would be able to vote in this.
But confusingly, if they think there’s a chance they can win it, Labour could put a no confidence vote in parliament against the government but they don’t seem to want to do that until January if they do do it. If they won that then we have a general election

@monte3 They can change their leader, and therefore PM, without a general election. They don't have a majority though so a general election looks possible early next year.

Who within the party can replace her? Please tell me it isn’t Boris Johnson.@AndrewtheAlu

@monte3 good question lol. He looks like he’ll be one of the candidates. Sajid Javid lots of people are saying is fairly likely. Esther mcvey said she’d try [i]if someone asked her[/i] so hopefully no one has

@monte3 It could be. He didn't run against May though because he didn't have enough support from MPs

Seriously is there a way out of the Brexit mess?@SW-User

@SW-User @monte3 lots seem to think that tory MPs (understandably) don’t like Boris very much so wouldn’t help nominate him for the members’ vote

@monte3 Difficult to see an easy way out at the moment.

She was a “presenter”? She was on a tv show first?@AndrewtheAlu
AndrewtheAlu · M
@monte3 I think she was a newsreader or something but I hadn’t heard of her then
monte3 · 70-79, M
Well that is more qualification than being a reality tv person. @AndrewtheAlu
AndrewtheAlu · M
@monte3 that depends who she was newsreading for lol
