No you are the one that offers up your demands, usually after a democratic vote, I havent been on the losing side yet I am 2 from 2, you my friend are 0/2 and your beauty of a moment of your FTSE forecast, but I am not saying I am right I am saying you guys seem unable to grasp the concept of coming second.

She's in office, but not in power.
No I haven't, far from it. Just like those that voted leave will have mixed and varied reasons, the same is also true for those who voted remain. They decided that on balance, remaining would be best. I said "Presumably nearly all those who voted remain would prefer a soft Brexit to a hard one", so no, I didn't say that everyone wanted everything the EU offers.
I agree. I did a poll at the time about remain/leave and hard/soft Brexit, which IMO shows that most would choose a soft Brexit over hard. I'll look it up at some point.
It's not just an opinion, you can ask people why they voted the way they did, and then you'll have a good idea. Just like I did.

Couldn't make much of that ramble, sorry.
Apparently I make demands or something? And I am 0/2 on something?
FWIW: most economists called the effect of the referendum wrong.
Lastly: listen sunshine - thinking the Tory party are a steaming turd on the wasteland of British politics is very different to being an avid Corbyn or Labour fan. Of which I am neither. But you are completely unable to grasp that concept, aren't you?
Only someone so intent to be controversial & superior could support this well-derided set of appointments.

Think we will leave the single market, the key for business is to remain in the customs union with no tariffs, if we don't do this we're screwed
George in the meantime is a large thorn in the government's side at the Standard, he will keep poking the hornets nest
Still can't believe the Tories 23 years to win a majority and f**ked it up...

Do you not think that if that was the case she would resign as PM and leave the party to heal their wounds and move on in preperation for beating Corbyn again in the next election later in the year.

Brilliantly incisive riposte.
My degree in mathematics not up to your high standards, seemingly.
Your not very good with spelling are you.

There's no obvious immediate successor to her and there isn't the time for a leadership contest. She's got to limp on for however long she can, with her power, influence and standing deeply diminished. The last thing The Tories want is another election anytime soon, in my opinion. Robert Peston among others foresaw this on Friday.

That doesnt stop him being PM I dont think as IIRC I am sure that Sir Alec Douglas Home was a Tory PM and was not an MP., but I could be wrong and named the wrong PM.

How can you do PMQ's if you're not an MP ?

It would be very unlikely in the modern age for the Queen to appoint someone who is not an MP. I agree that a MP could give up his seat and have a by election, for George to return. This is unlikely too as they would want to risk being a MP short for a short while. Also George himself has stated on Andrew Marr this morning, "that he feels well out of it"

We basically only have 2 parties to choose from, so we didn't get the chance to say how we felt about free trade and the movement of people. Also, the main parties couldn't give away that bargaining position before the negotiations have even started.
Here's the poll showing that most people would accept the free movement of people, if that was necessary for free trade:
http://www.northstandchat.com/showt...u-want-free-movement-of-people&highlight=poll
97% of remainers would
42% of leavers would
So that's 97% of 48% + 43% of 52% = 69% of voters would accept the free movement of people, if that was necessary for free trade.
Of course that poll is just on NSC, but the result was obvious before I did the poll (which is why I did the poll), and I can guarantee the result would be over 50% if you had a referendum on it.

How did Sir Alec cope as I am sure it was him. As far as PMQ time is concerned any idiot could make Corbyn look stupid. with his give give give policies with not thinking about how it is going to be paid for. PMQ is not what beat TM.

It just crossed my mind, have any world leaders phoned up Mrs May to congratulate her on her" victory " ? Just wondering if Donald was on the phone or are they all busy ? always remember, success has many fathers but failure is an orphan, and probably an only child.
