UK General Discussion: 2019 and onwards, The End of May

[Sestak]

Lmao Tories.

They would likely form a coalition with Brexit

It wouldn't be much of a coalition if they only have 163 seats between them.

Coalition of chaos?

[Sestak]

Yeah please. If the governing party ends up in like third or fourth place in the Euro elections it's not something they can just choose to ignore.

May and the 1922 Committee met today. She won a stay of execution until the first week of June (at which point the EU withdrawal agreement bill is to be voted in May's final gamble), after which she is to meet with Graham Brady and "set the timetable for her departure".

I can't see how on earth the withdrawal bill will pass (Conservative resistance is hardening, Labour-Government talks seem to be going nowhere), so it seems she might finally (finally!) go after losing that vote.

If May goes, does that mean that a snap election will occur?

Nope. Tories will elect a new leader and the winner will become PM.

And May continues to hang on, at least for a few more days.

TIL that Ed Miliband is still in Parliament. I always assumed he left in the 2017 election

Yeah that came as a surprise to me too.
