How was I wrong or insulting. If you considered that an insult after what you post of me attempting to take the p..s I will apologise but I think you are pushing it a bit.

So you're not going to apologise despite being wrong by your own metric then calling me completely stupid?

That's the maths. Will 158 vote against her knowing that there aren't many candidates to replace her. It's taken an age to get the letters in and whilst there will be a number of MPs who will ride on the back of those that did submit them will it be enough to achieve their goal! May couldn't get a majority in the house to support her plan but that doesn't mean she won't get the support of sitting Tory MPs to stay in power! Isn't Margaret Thatcher the only sitting Tory PM to have lost a challenge?

Almost. She actually won the first round 204-152 over Heseltine, but party rules dictated that the margin of victory wasn't enough and it would go to a second round of voting. She resigned before that vote was held, and John Major entered and won the second round.

IDS is the only Tory leader to have a lost a challenge that I'm aware of

Just watched PMQ, we get what we vote for - utter shambles.

Having another vote about who should be leader of the country ?

They had one just after the referendum.

What are they, some sort of undemocratic loons ? © [MENTION=33253]JC Footy Genius[/MENTION]

You mean the one where the necessary democratic criteria in the leadership contest were met and the result enacted ... :facepalm:

Were you meant to be posting as Plooks? :p

Hardly. Have you seen who's in charge of the US? And plenty of European countries can't agree on who should run their country, so us being unclear about the leave options is no great shakes.

It doesn't really matter who it is, the whole charade will play out again like it has done countless times.

Parliament delegated the decision to the people ... the democratically elected Government committed to hold a referendum and enact the result. Is the real correct answer, Binding if Remain had won ... advisory if Leave won? ???

Thought we were talking about the leadership election?

I thought I knew, but if it needs another vote within 2 years, I'm starting to wonder...

So the Tories are allowed a second vote but we're not...:hilton:

We have a longstanding tradition in this country of enacting democratic results, one major reason why democracy has prevailed. This may be of little importance or hard to understand for some undemocratic loons but tough doo doos. Once the democratic will of the people is enacted we can exercise our democratic voice to change direction if needed ... it's how democracy works in this country.
