A referendum in which the LEAVE side peddled lies that were decisive then - to a man - fled the scene leaving no trace of accountability and a mug Remainer to do their dirty work.

She had already said exactly the same thing during the leadership campaign.

You're not keen on democracy then? At least, not when you are in a minority.........

All these Brexiters talking about how Democracy has spoken...
How do you like your ****ing democracy now... We now have an unelected PM

I'm not convinced that May is convinced at anything she said in that speech

Think she has quite a lot in common with Brexits.

It counts more when you repeat it on the day you're left the last candidate standing.
Sadly, this appears to be all about the Tory Party and not about the UK.
It is Parliament that is sovereign in the UK, a referendum is non-binding and advisory, but Parliament would nevertheless be expected to vote on the outcome if simply to endorse it. May should see the Parliamentary process through and shut the f*ck up about the outcome until Parliament approves it.

"Brexit means Brexit."
We all agree, and it will happen.
But other than 'Brexit means Brexit' what does Brexit mean other than leaving the EU
It means anything you like within that broad parameter.

would that be the same John Major who won his first election with largest ever number of votes, unmatched since? (even Blair in '97 polled half a million fewer)
I wasn't implying I had a problem with it.

The same Major who wrecked the UK economy on Black Wednesday a few months after that who led the Tories to EXTINCTION

Been plenty of occasions where a prime minister has changed during a parliamentary term and led the country for a prolonged period without having won a general election as leader of the party.
Its been so common that there is really no need to get your constitutional panties all in a twist

Awkward.................I hate to be the one to point this out but no one votes to elect a Prime Minister, thats not how it works at a General Election, the PM just happens to be whoever is the leader of the winning party.
If the leader steps down for any reason during the term then the new leader becomes PM.
Hope that clears it up for you.

Still unelected PM ... Anyway you should be reading my reply showing you the accuracy of my EU migration figures.

When there is a general election you are voting for the party as well as the person leading it...
We are in a funny period in politics where the word democracy is being thrown about a lot...i am merely highlighting that she is unelected and is not having a new general election
