    If Labour realizes they will lose huge voter base by seen as remain party, they will change their tune (in fact Labour is already struggling with this issue).


    Exactly the opposite is happening. Party members and many Labour voters are for remain, and that's why there vote was down in the locals and will be even worse in the euros.

    Labour and Conservatives are both standing in the middle of road, so getting run over by both side traffic.

    Brexit party and LibDem took opposing sides and their popularity is going up.

    In an election a polarizing stance is better than confusing stance.

    Does anybody know what the Change UK actually stand for. Seems as if a number of MP's from the major parties have simply walked into the political wilderness. Neither did they receive the mass defections they were expecting.

    I did look up some of their policies on line.
    Did you not find them?

    I decided it wasn’t a good idea to split the remain vote.

    Seem to be some rumblings that oppostion to May from within the Tories may be coming to a head and there may be an attempt to force her out imminently

    She has hardly any support but they don’t have any way to force her out at the moment.

    She has the support of her cabinet.....for now.
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    She should just go and let a True Believer have a go.
    A True Believer like Boris.
    Who is such a True Believer, he was simultaneously penning pro-Leave and pro-Remain columns in the run up to the referendum.
    With his record as London mayor (Boris Island, Garden Bridge, water cannons, Hammers stadium, etc...) and his record as Foreign Secretary (recounting colonial poems while visiting Burmese temple, jokes about dead bodies in Sirte, screwing over Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe), what could realistically go wrong?
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    I don't believe any of the leadership contenders believe in Brexit. They are just pandering to the 70,000 membership of "old dears" who just want us to go back to "the good old days".

    Young Kinnock putting forward the theory that a new Pro-Brexit Tory PM will sit on his hands until 31st October, ie.run down the clock on a default no deal and challenge Parliament to bring down the Government and then fight a subsequent GE on an unabashed no-deal ticket.
    Seems like a plan.
