Theresa May survives no-confidence vote
Axios ^ | 1/16/19 | Dave Lawler

Posted on 01/16/2019 12:06:32 PM PST by DoodleDawg

A day after her Brexit plan suffered the worst parliamentary defeat in modern British political history, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a motion of no-confidence brought by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn by a vote of 325-306.

Why it matters: May's job has been under threat for months, and yet she keeps on surviving. Having already seen off one challenge from rebels in her own party, she's now defeated a motion from the opposition. Still, May is no closer to delivering on Brexit with 10 weeks left until the U.K. is scheduled to leave the European Union.

This can mean ONLY ONE THING:

The parliament wants to stay in the EU, they don’t care about what the people want and voted for twice.................


Almost, it means two things...the second being the picture which I hope someone can post, which has her, Merkel and the other Norweigian or other useless Scandinavian leader in it, proves they went to school together, have the same handler(s) and are globalists/borderless “leaders”. Cabal queens.

Referendums in the UK are binding by Constitutional tradition.

Leaving the EU is not optional at this point, the only question is how.

The Tory voting base would blow a gasket at an attempt to cancel leaving the EU. That betrayal would guarantee a Labour government under Jeremy Corbyn.

>>Methinks at this point the “common man” is so fed up with the l33ts, he will welcome a no-deal since it’s a hard brexit.

Yes, that’s what they want. The global tools have already state they will never “allow” a no-deal Brexit. Interesting times ahead!

I was hoping for Boris Johnson or Daniel Hannan, perhaps in coalition with Nigel Farage and UKIP.

How would that work? UKIP controls precisely zero seats in Parliament. Neither Hannan nor Farage are MPs - that might prove an obstacle to getting elected. Technically I don't think you have to be a Member of Parliament to be elected PM, but it's inconceivable that anyone would get elected without being one.

If she had any character at all, she’d step down as PM and turn it over to someone else in the party.

My point is, they will never allow a “Brexit”, never in a million years. It’s like a Roach motel.

For the sake of the survival of England, we both best pray they do BREXIT - because, if not, Britain will suffer its second civil war.

The deal with the DUP is still in force there was no chance any Tories were gonna vote for Corbyns no-confidence motion, that simply isn’t done.

She survived a party leadership confidence vote a few weeks ago.

The brexit ref was non-binding, which is why they have been pulling this sh1t since the day after the vote.

So sad that Great Britain is now officially lost. Lost to reality. May created a traitorous deal for them and intends to find a way to sell them all for 30 pieces of silver.

It was lost when the Tories rejected Enoch Powell.

May didn’t ‘create’ the deal. It was forced on her after a negotiation in which the other party held all the cards.
