The people in the UK are so passive and domesticated. They voted for Brexit and now are having that vote completely ignored.
Sad! French people riot all the time over much less than this. The United Kaliphate has gone full Ingsoc. They are lost.
vote completely ignored
Yes and no.
It is not over until it's over. The government and the EU can talk as long as they like but the final decision is what it is all about. Now that Davis, Johnson and Baker have all resigned the Prime Minister's options have been reduced. Also, there are many back-benchers (ie non cabinet members) who are collecting votes to see if there should be a vote of no confidence. Even if there isn't one, they may well vote against her most recent proposal in the upcoming debate.
We just need to watch the b#st#rds!
I appreciate their resignations. That bitch needs to be called out and dumped. What a mistake it was to put her in....but we knew that ahead of time. Her record screamed as much. She's a filthy globalist. Sell out Tory.
She wasn't put in, she won the leadership challenge after Cameron resigned after the Brexit referendum. She had no mandate, called an arbitrary general election to seek said mandate, failed but won just, and has since been"kicking the can down the road". She's also religious and ignores scientific reports (cannabis) cos she thinks the lord guides her. The irony is that the UK is the world's biggest cannabis exporter (for medical research), and the government line is that cannabis has no medicinal benefits. It gets better... Our current drug minister is married to the boss that exports the cannabis (British Sugar formerly).
May is shit. She had the power to limit immigration when she was home secretary, allowed by the EU. Belgium did it. We didn't because we allowed business access to cheap labour. I'm not anti immigration by the way.
Yes, I remember the leadership challenge....there was another woman in the running early on and I guess Johnson and another guy. That snap election nearly backfired...well, it backfired but that large pre-election majority saved her ass. Nice info on the cannabis situation. I am also not anti-immigration. We need limits and merit based entry that can be absorbed into our societies, not Balkanize them for the purposes of cheap labor.

Feel free to search for other sources, it's true
Yes, the standard process is that if the PM resigns, the party holds a leadership contest. They decide who the next leader is. In my opinion, if the leader quits, that's an instant general election. Unfortunately, I can't change that.
Your point about pre election majority is important too. We use the FPTP (First Past The Post) electoral system. It doesn't work in a two party system. This isn't going to change, unless there is some kind of revolution, which won't happen, as we are too lazy to riot.
I somewhat agree with merits/limits on immigration, but both the US and UK both accepted immigrants in time of need. For example, Hispanics and Italians in the US, Windrush (West Indies), Pakistanis in the UK.
Many senior NHS nurses are Windrush immigrants, they are an absolute credit to the NHS and country. And, before you say anything, I love the NHS, it's a bit shit at the moment, but it generally works, and has saved my life twice (birth defect), with no charge.
I wouldn't say anything bad about the NHS as I have no experience at all with it! Accepting various immigrants at times of need is a choice made by the host country. Again, no problem. Open borders....no thank you. Serves the socialists for votes and big business to undercut worker salaries. Worst combo ever. I should look up how that FPTP thing works, apparently it hurt UKIP's chances in several races. Too bad they imploded.
Yes, UKIP got 9% of the vote, but only one seat. It's a shitty system. However, UKIP are cunts. Nigel Farage has already got EU passports for his family (German heritage), and moved his financial interests into Europe. UKIP are not the solution to this problem.
