      They have to argue amongst themselves and get, I think, 105 MP votes to be on the final ballot of 2 people. Can only see Bojo and Gove as contenders to accomplish that

          This is going to prove 'interesting'...I personally think it all hangs on the results from the Eu elections to see who gets in next to see if it will be a soft or hard Brexit !!!!...

            Yes I thought it was heart wrenching...folk can say what they like about Teresa May but I really believe she has done more than her best to see this through and I also think some of the treatment she has had has been an absolute disgrace..If I was Teresa I wouldn't have given it till the 7th of June I'd have stuck two fingers up and told the morons to get on with it as of now...having said that she aint from Yorkshire and she aint Lolimac..:biggrin:

              Parliament will not allow a hard brexit, I really dont see how this is getting us anywhere.
              R Soles, in parliament are the stumbling block, it doesn't matter who is PM, the EU say that is the final offer and the R Soles say no, where does that leave us.

              Up the creek without a paddle.

                The R soles are now going to have to grow a pair,as mad as it sounds and I can't believe I'm saying it...if BOJO is true to his word then out out we go with a no deal..but listening to what's going on in the news he aint looking favourable...Sooo this country has been been a mockery for too long so I can't think it can get much worse...:rolleyespink:

                Parliament have the final say.
                End of.
                Or pretty much a never ending farce.

                  Great - that gives us a potential PM of either Coco the Clown or Pob!

                      Did you watch the video I posted a couple of days ago Andy? The EU apparently offered us a deal, that had free trade and sharing on security and science, and No.10 stopped the Brexit fella at the time from even talking about it!

                      Don't dismiss it.

                      With a new Leaver PM and a Tory/Bexit Party GE pact there could then be a majority in Parliament in favour of No Deal.

                      Both Tory and Labour Remain MPs, plus Change party candidates will all be opposed by a single Leave candidate, Leaver MPs will be unopposed.

                      The current bunch of MPs will only have themselves to blame for a new Tory/Brexit Party Coalition Government :yikes:

                      The results of the EU elections might provide an insight into whether this could be a possibility.

                      Completely missed that :(

                      Whoever gets in will have parliament to deal with and I can see them all banding together just to be a pain in the butt and try and force an election rather than move the country forward.

                      One thing I’m unclear on is Oct 31; can the new incumbent ignore parliament and not propose a new deal so we simply drift off into the wild blue yonder?
