Crikey that was much closer than predicted. Now she's inviting Corbyn to constructive meetings.

I posted in the other thread.
They wont win an election with him, he is a power crazed nut job.

The libs want the same preconditions as Corbyn. No deal Brexit ruled out a priori. I'd buy that....
A trade off would be no no deal and no second ref.

Was it? I would think that she is quite happy with the voting figures.
Isn't that the same as 'deal'
In other words the one thing parliament has already rejected?Scissors, paper, stone...

No it wasn’t. Went about exactly as predicted. Should have started discussion with other parties about 2 years ago.

True, I guess thats why we are in a complete mess.
You are right. Similar to her commons majority. I was mislead by flights of fancy.

Just seen your other post. Who on earth thought there would be 100 odd labour/snp voting with the government?!

How could anybody predict a winning margin of 150 when her majority is so slender and reliant on the DUP etc.
Some weirdo apparently.
My excuse was I considered that tories might vote her down in order to force a general election that she would win.
No, that's also ****ing madness, too
Yeah, yeah, I answered yoy already. Apologies but I don't do slow motion.

In fairness to you the point was made on Sky News by Adam Boulton, tongue in cheek, that had Labour actually voted for or abstained from the Withdrawal Agreement last night, they may have stood a better chance tonight.

Very easy to blame the Tories.
But the fact is David Cameron won an election promosing a free vote on whether to leave the EU. He won
The Tories AND Labour fought the next election, both promising to leave the EU.
498 -111 MP's voted to trigger Article 50 to leave the EU on 29th March.
A new law was passed to leave the EU on 29th March.
I think it's very easy to blame just the Tories, but they are not the only ones commited to leave. Yes, I agree she has handled it badly, and the Tories should never have voted a Remain favouring PM. She will likely go down as the worst PM this nation has seen, and following on so soon after Gordon Brown, that's some ****ing achievement!
29th March cannot come around fast enough, so we can just get on with it. We'll be fine!
Is it mere coincidence that BBC2 is running 'Revolution in ruins: the Hugo Chavez story' later tonight?

Er, the Tories have been tearing themselves apart over Europe ever since we joined the EEC. Brexit is directly linked to the Tory paranoia with UKIP and Farage.
