Not a chance of that happening (in my opinion). May won’t fight another election, but whatever team the Tories muster will be a far better option than Corbyn, Watson, McDonnell and Abbott.

Thanks.
Also look at the demographic breakdown of speakers on QT. A fair representation of political views in this country? I think not. I meant to tag [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] in this.

That's because they're rotten to the core and didn't want to deal with it properly.

You've lost me again. You're backing up your point that the BBC is biased towards the Conservative Party by showing a graph that puts their QT representation level with Labour and behind UKIP? How does that demonstrate Tory bias?

I said Brexit bias not Conservative bias, although I did say there were Tories who were candidates, so it probably was confusing.

Len McLuskey a man who , if you investigate his actions in Grangemouth,Scotland in 2008 , led to the sacking of 3000 people to save 400 of his paymasters...a very very very evil and untrustworthy 'Red Ken' (remember him) type socialist.
I was there and saw his actions first hand. Luckily Jim Ratcliffe kicked McLuskey's fat @rse to hell and back. Which has led to 10 years of investment, only part curtailed by the Scottish National Socialist Party and their tie up with the Greens. That too will be gone soon...I hope!
Len 'F'ing' McLuskey....do me a favour!

Now name the employees with past links to the Labour party for balance.

At a time when we could do with politicians collaborating for the good of the nation (naive comment I know) it’s a shame that party politics, opportunism and party loyalties continue to take priority over such an important issue as Brexit. We have one party who will say and do anything to get in to power and another equally desperate to stay in power. ‘‘Twas ever thus, I suppose.......

Most politicians are in it for themselves. Any benefit to the country is purely coincidental.
Utter tripe! Most enter politics wanting to serve the community and improve the lives of the electorate, no matter whether they are left or right leaning. Time may actually dull their desire when constantly in friction with the bureaucracy that the role entails, and a very small minority may become entirely self serving when in the role for too long. As for your ridiculous claim about the BBC, the pie chart shows about one third supporting Brest, that means two thirds not supporting it, unless you have some other weird interpretation?

Do you really celebrate the success of a multibillionaire in exploiting Tory laws to cut the pay, conditions and pensions of his workforce...??
I suppose you also admire his shrewd tax avoidance?
Lovely side of the argument to be on.

Does anyone else find the obsession with Palestine a bit odd?

The result upset the clown who created it. Then he resigned to spend more time with his money.
I don't like Corbyn and you need to take you blue-tinted specs off
Yes. And a teensy bit politically suicidal. All the rage among student lefties when I was an undergrad. 'No compromise with the electorate'. That will get men with beards elected to parliament. For sure
Particularly given another delegate took to the stage to ask why he had been refused permission to display a European flag.
I usually agree with you but not on this occasion. Or you comment that the BBC is biased towards the conservatives. I think the BBC does a great job, showcasing different viewpoints evenhandedly, reporting criticism even of itself, its governance and its 'highy paid stars', and editorialising from an analytical perspective without making the error of giving uncritical air time to extremist mouthpices (like Farrage or Momentum, at the two ends of the spectrum, or that Hopkins idiot at the other end of the speculum). You won't find anything remotely similar to that in the US (or anywhere else I can think of - some smaller stations ovrseas try to play fair but they don't have the cash or reach to achive even-handedness).
I think if you're solely into self-serving then relative to being an MP there are numerous jobs that are considerably better paying, involve far less work and also don't carry the risk the occasional nut job trying to kill you.
I'm not sure "be an MP" would be anywhere near the top of my list.
