I know she has said she won't but that pretty much means she will if her record is anything to go by! What do you think?

I think she'll resign just before the conservative conference and we'll have another election before the end of the year.

Toptrumps20 · 09/06/2017 09:03

Yes, she'll go. The knives are out for her in her own party already. Oh, don't ya just love karmaGrin

waitforitfdear · 09/06/2017 09:05

I think she has to really as the campaign was so bad

ChestnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 09/06/2017 09:06

Oh yes, good riddance. Phillip can put her out with the bins. Won't be immediate though.

TestTubeTeen · 09/06/2017 09:07

If she doesn't she will almost certainly be pushed.

She can't just keep spouting 'stability'. Stable WHAT?

She took a gamble and lost her party all strength in government. How can she lead a government on that basis?

UrsulaPandress · 09/06/2017 09:07

I have always felt that she didn't want to win.

AmysTiara · 09/06/2017 09:07

lampshady · 09/06/2017 09:08

Sounds like the DUP are making noises about wanting her out before forming a coalition. Goodness knows.

QuiteLikely5 · 09/06/2017 09:08

Nah she won't resign!

JC is a national disgrace - he had no chance of ousting the Tories but he created ridiculous pledges such as saying he was going to abolish tuition fees just to win seats - the country cannot afford this - he knew he wouldn't win but his ploy worked

gunting · 09/06/2017 09:11

She bloody needs to.

Won a leadership contest because the other candidate packed it in, ran a personality cult type campaign despite having no discernible personality, created a manifesto that shows she clearly doesn't understand the British public and then lost their majority.

Terrible record in only 10 months.

TriJo · 09/06/2017 09:13

^ what gunting said.

I fucking hate the Tories but she's a walking disaster for them.

Moanyoldcow · 09/06/2017 09:14

JC a national disgrace? Give over! That's proper twaddle.

Even his fiercest critics are giving him the praise he deserves.

MrsJayy · 09/06/2017 09:15

No general election nope oh wait Grin of course she will resign but she is consulting her loons of advisors first what a complete farce it has been.

2014newme · 09/06/2017 09:15

Yabu. No way will she.

McTufty · 09/06/2017 09:15

She's lost her authority and credibility, her only hope really that the Tories won't want a leadership election right now

Chillyegg · 09/06/2017 09:18

I hope she does. Shes the disgrace to this country! How she thought she would win a majority just shows her arrogant delusional idiocy.
Jc has done very well to close the gap and gain seats for labour, how his party can quibble with him now is beyond me.
The problem with Westminster is theyre really not intune with what the rest of the country wants is your not a middle class white middle aged white man. Jc although fitting the bill gets what alot of people need to make their lives less of a struggle.

leccybill · 09/06/2017 09:20

Is she making a speech today at all?

QuiteLikely5 · 09/06/2017 09:21

TM is no disgrace - JC very cannily came up with a manifesto that the country could not afford to deliver!

He created it to win votes from youngsters thinking of uni and those who were already at uni!

JC didn't win, TM did and that's all that matters

leccybill · 09/06/2017 09:26

'Winning' in the very loosest sense of the word there, QuiteLikely.

ErrolTheDragon · 09/06/2017 09:26

Although I tend to agree she should resign - this election was a complete misjudgement and leaves the country even weaker to face difficult times - the thing that worries me is who the hell would replace her? The other leadership candidates last time were all worse.

Salzundessig · 09/06/2017 09:29

Why can't we afford it though, Quite likely? We have the 5/6th strongest economy in the world but still have people using food banks because that wealth is distributed so unfairly. We can afford it, people just don't want to. Corbyn 's promises would not be remotely radical in other European countries with less individualistic societies.

sharontargaryen · 09/06/2017 09:29

How much does it cost to run a new election? I think there will be another one but what a joke. This must be costing the country a fortune each time a new election is called.

CiderwithBuda · 09/06/2017 09:29

She has to surely? She said she wanted the election to show she had a strong mandate from the electorate as she goes into Brexit negotiations. This result clearly shows she has no such thing. She has zero credibility now.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 09/06/2017 09:30

She should but she won't.
