Who will be the NEW UK PM?

[Kallisto]

trump's an unknown. i got a 50/50 chance with him.

first thing clinton will do is depose assad and give ISIS more lands, give radicals in syria more arms and training and they'll turn on us the moment assad's gone, so she'll create a new terrorist organization. more citizens will die, more soldiers will die, and the world will just get worse and worse as our relations with russia dip further and further.

All this while Russia is protecting Assad? That's WW3 instigation there. The only reason ISIS got as much land as they did is because Assad let them. His forces held off fighting ISIS because he could scream that all opposition forces were ISIS while the rebels and ISIS fought each other. Assad though lost the right to rule when he ordered his troops to fire on peaceful protestors when they were only protesting the rise in food prices. Which he could have controlled by slashing costs.

This thread was way better when we were talking about Eric Pickles and biscuits.

They'll be breaking out the wine and hitting on the male interns!

The solution to that is to have a general election and have a new leader for labour, Angela Eagle, become PM to make it safe for the male interns.

The thought of PM Pickles should tickle all our pickles?

..... I know I can do better with that name but fuck, I'm having an off day.

I am just hoping one of the possible choices gets struck dead by lightening so I can post "Shocking news...." "This positively electric situation...." "Watt will happen next."

A girl can dream.

If that happened.

US: Look we have our first female president (If Hillary gets elected) aren't we progressive
UK: Well we now have our second (well third if we have Theresa May as winner of conservative party leadership and loses the election) who is also a Lesbian.
US: But we just had a Black president
UK: Jewish PM in 1800s. Jewish speaker of the house.

[ranzino]

well, what will she ( May or not) do then ? Push the red button labeled "Article 50" or sit it out ?

[Kallisto]

Someone will have to push it. The question is when. Unless a party runs on the "Not leaving EU." platform and wins the general election by a landslide.

As soon as they push it and invoke article 50, the UK reverts to WTO trade rules in its trade relations with Europe, and if that happens the UK economy will implode. Ergo why Cameron resigned and left it to some other future conservative leader to self-nuke the UK economy.

Trump is too busy pissing Scots off

Or just everyone.

Would he even be able to get close enough to the despatch box for PMQs?

[Deleted]

I don't care who just not Theresa may. She really will take away freedom and privacy, starting with the internet, she will make the NSA seem like they have no power. Not realising every time she tries this, large business like talktalk coincidentally get hacked. Digital war inc.

There are ways around it.

[Blobfish]

Hopefully not Therese May
She was Minister for Women & Equalities from 2010 to 2012.

If Hillary Clinton becomes President and Therese May British PM

Then I will have pity on my Male counterparts in the UK & USA for the next 4 years

Imagine the two of them together... sic

You are extremely concerned about Trump for someone who thinks he has such a small chance.

Because it's just not Trump who needs to be defeated. It's his supporters. They need to lose and they need to know, see and feel that loss. They need to see the rejection of their extremist beliefs. Trump is symbolic of something far worse. Their know-nothing, counterfactual nativism must be countered. Every, single one of them.

Were Mitt Romney running for President... hell, I'd probably support him. Same goes for Paul Ryan. But not Trump and the Legion of Losers he represents. It's time to step on some ants.

[Zelk]

Whoever gets the 98% of the vote that doesn't go to Angela Eagle in the Labour leadership contest will be the next PM.

[Berengil]

Farage would need to set up a conference call for PMQs, not sure that would go down well in the House.


Theresa May is my pick, mainly because others are either loathsome (Gove), sordid (Fox), or virtual non-entities.

What's the matter with Gove? Looked him up on wikipedia and elsewhere, seems like a standard Tory.

I wish it would be Ed Balls. Can you imagine the late night show monologues.....hehehehe.

Except we're not going anywhere after the November election and will benefit from any prosperity opponents bring to the nation.

Win-win
