UK Conservatives to demand clear departure schedule from PM May

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Conservative Party will demand a clear timetable for Prime Minister Theresa May's departure but will not change the rules governing leadership challenges, the chair of the party's influential 1922 Committee said on Wednesday.

 

May survived a confidence vote in December and under the party's rules cannot be challenged again for 12 months. But many of the party's lawmakers and members have become increasingly frustrated over her handling of Brexit and have called for a way to force her out sooner.

 

The executive of the so-called 1922 Committee, which groups Conservative lawmakers, met on Tuesday and then again on Wednesday to discuss whether to change the leadership rules.

 

"We determined there should not be a rule change to remove the 12 month period of grace during which a second confidence vote cannot be held," Graham Brady, the committee's chair, told reporters after the meeting.

 

May has said she will step down if her Brexit deal, which has already been rejected three times, is passed by parliament but has not set out what she will do if it is not.

 

Brady said the committee would ask May for "a clear roadmap" for her departure if a Brexit deal is not approved.

Too late, the Conservative party have assigned themselves to oblivion at any future elections. In order to restore the British public's belief in their democratic system there needs to be a radical clean out of the existing political parasitical hierarchy. Very few British politicians are genuine servants of their constituents, it is a shame that those that are will be collateral damage . The House of Lords needs to be cleaned out, and all the political appointees removed, only those who have genuinely served the country, not the establishment,  and have genuine intelligence appointed to the house of policy re-evaluation .

May’s departure should be up to the party membership now, not MPs. The 1922 committee had their chance but were blocked by too many other Remainer Tory MPs.
In the meantime she’s allowed to continue her plan to tie the UK to the EU. She must be stopped and a Brexit backing PM installed.

Amen to that. We're also trying to do that in the U.S.

The reality is probably more like they still want someone to blame it all on - and she really made that role her own with her decisions and actions!

 

What is worrying is many relatively young and well educated people I know are leaning more and more towards commie Corbyn and his Momentum mates. They really believe his <deleted> that he can deliver a wonderful fair utopia socialist society; and that giving up our Nuclear weapons won't diminish us a world power and re-nationalizing certain industries and transport will make them work better, more cost effective and efficient. They are in for one hell of a disappointment if they ever elect this anti UK loony left extremist nutter to power.

 

Dark days looming for the UK. Sad to see.

Two great nations, with mostly wonderful people, who've been betrayed by the recent political classes.

 

Let's hope we both get the changes we need!

Cameron agreed to the Brexit vote in the hope of preventing the Tory party ripping itself to pieces over Brexit.

 

The Tory party is now at each other’s throats.

 

The whole Brexit shambles is a mess of the Tory’s own making, their internal fight now spilled over into the nation.

 

It’s not just May who needs to go, it’s the whole of the Tory party.

Exactly. They all understand the dilemma they’re in. None of them would be able to get a majority for a no-deal Brexit from parliament, let alone take the responsibility of letting the country crash out without a deal. None of them would be able to get a different deal from the EU either. They all understand they would end up in the very same situation May is in.

 

Ousting her now would be symptomatic for Brexit though: making decisions without having a plan for what happens after. I would be laughing my ass off if they ousted her just to end up in another impasse of not finding a new PM because no one wants be the poor scapegoat she is now.

Salient points from an Interesting debate on GMB a few mins ago:

 

- All remain parties to unite under one banner to counter Farage's Brexit party.

 

- The Tories will be routed in the EU elections which should see May gone in June & certainly before the party conference.

 

- Matt Hancock being touted as a contender for PM as he is only 40 and seen as a new generation which is what is felt needed.

 

All of the above were suggestions. Whether they happen or not remains to be seen & I should add as an afterthought that the reason the latest 1922 coup failed is because they didn't want May's replacement to feel they should be constantly looking over their shoulder.

They are all running so scared now. They thought they had maligned and vilified UKIP into indifference, but they didn’t account for Nigel Farage under a new banner.
The Brexit Party will rout them all with MEPs. Next stop will be for Brexit to rout them at a GE too. There will be no calls for a vote of no confidence for a while.

A reminder that the 2nd XI remain busy while Farage hogs the limelight:

May is Britain's equivalent of a suicide bomber. Let's hope she self-detonates before she can take the rest of us with her.

i cannot deny farage has formed a party,how well it does is far too early to say but it wont rout anything,he formed it because brexit isnt happening which is good and once it sinks in people will welcome the return to normality and wont want a return to chaos and uncertainty,polls will show its popular like they usually do for something thats new and different but its votes at the GE that matter and many will revert back to Labour,tories even that other new party thats pro breixit or maybe your true hero tommy's party.whoops i forgot to mention Ukip????

Brexit LIVE: Farage says Brexit Party to stand in next General Election 'massive change

I’ll happily vote for either Farage or UKIP, dependant on the job at hand. Initially for Brexit in the MEP polls next month, maybe a tactical UKIP vote later. I’d even vote for Tommy if he had a party - the further right, the better!

Rather than feel that way, do something constructive to help change our rigged political system.

 

We must take the power over our lives out of the hands of the political elites in Brussels and Westminster and return it to the people. 

 

This means pulling the plug on the quadrennial game of musical chairs which characterises our broken two-party system and has resulted the Great going out of Britain.

 

The best way to begin this process is by making your mark in the upcoming European elections and the next UK general election, whenever it is called.

 

A vote for a mainstream candidate is a vote for more of the same. Consider switching to one of the alternative parties such as UKIP or the Brexit Party, or independents like Tommy Robinson, with agendas for radical change

 

Time to put on those MBGA hats!
