    We had an election last year and the tories won, so no election now till 2020...

    Didn't Theresa May demand Gordon Brown go to the country when Tony Blair stood down? I don't think she will be going to the country now she has become PM.

    Preston,
    The law has changed since then.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Does the law state that she isn't allowed to?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Pretty much. She has to lose 2 'No Confidence' votes I believe.

    It sounds a bit like Hotel California... ;lol

    Ironically Jeremy 'the unelectable' got his job by members of the public voting for him as leader, DarthMay got hers because her mates at work voted her in.

    Seems legit.

    Democracy innit ;ok

    Only labour members voted and had there been more than one candidate only conservative members would have voted.

    At least she'll be tough on crime!

    Having been Home Sec she'll know all about it.

    Our resident PC who currently has 14 open cases to investigate can testify to how her cuts in the Met have really helped.

    Good news all round.

    Then there's less people in the passport office following her cuts. Changing our EU passport for a good old Brishish one should be a peice of cake.

    and there's G4S.

    Suz,

    I get the feeling you are really happy with her being our new PM.

    Mooj

    When I say over the moon what I mean is beside myself with rage.

    I'm a public sector worker, she'll have me on a zero hours contract before you can say 'has anyone got Guy Fawkes's phone number'!

    Thing is Labour members who joined before mid January of this year don't get a vote in the new leadership campaign even though the application said new members would qualify to vote for leadership and NEC elections.

    The new left wing version of democracy? ;hmm

    Herb, from what I've read that was introduced by those trying to get Corbyn out because they believe most who signed up since would vote for him.

    I don't know how any of them are more electable. Angela Eagle gave some rubbish interviews and the media didn't even stay for her launch.

    so we've got May and Hammond - where's Clarkson ?? ;wink

    The idea that Corbyn won because of members of the public siging up as £3 "registered supporters" is false, he got 162968 votes from party members and affiliates (trade unions, etc) while the other three candiates only got 159246 between them.

    Still if May delivers on her speech this evening we won't need a Labour party.

    She can basically say what she likes at the moment - nobody is going to remember it, or hold her to account.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    ASLEF I'm surprised the other candidates didn't get up a petition claiming it was too close to be valid. ;lol

    I will.


    Don't suppose she's too worried about that, though.

    Pards, I really, really hope that your above posts are meant to be ironic ;hmm

    They didn't need to. A Corbyn supporter had done one before the election when they thought he would lose. ;wink
