AIBU to think TM will resign?

[allegretto]

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?

No she won't and she shouldn't atm.

'Yes! It had absolutely nothing to do with calling an unnecessary general election, making the election a presidential campaign about herself'
You're right she has cocked up monumentally. She should resign. Seeing Corbyn punching the air and grinning is just toe curling though. He won based on a load of lies and a good campaign only. His campaign manager should be the party leader whoever it was.

TM's other problem was in thinking that UIKIP voters would automatically vote Conservative when in actual fact they were disgruntled Labour voters in the main. If she'd eased of the austerity, dropped the cap on the child benefit FOR BRITISH CITIZENS, announced a massive social housing building programme FOR BRITISH CITIZENS and interned some terrorists she would have absolutely romped it.

If you look at all the marginal's the conservatives won in 2015 or where Labour barely held on UKIP were second or a close third. With UIKIP's collapse most of their voters went back to Labour. After all JC promised to respect the referendum result.

She's going to the palace at 12? With an informal coalition (of chaos?) propping her up.

Can the queen say no

'She should resign quickly and the party should choose Anna Soubry as leader.'

What swapping one apparently 'arrogant leader' for another one? Soubry's an awful patronising twerp.

Can the queen say no

JC knew he couldn't win a majority.

Instead he chose to deliberately de-stablise the country by buying votes off students and public sector workers by promising them magic money which the country doesn't have. He knew he could get away with promising them rainbows and unicorns because he knew he would never have to actually put the magic money where his mouth is. He knew Labour wouldn't actually win.

He doesn't want any type of Brexit, and will now be thrilled that the UK's bargaining power with the EU is hugely diminished.

JC has spoken many many times in the past on anti EU platforms. of all the leaders he is the most pro brexit. however, this isn't about brexit. its about anarchy.

well done Momentum. you must be very pleased.

She's going to the palace at 12? With an informal coalition (of chaos?) propping her up.

The good thing about that is Northern Ireland is about to see an uptick in shiny new hospitals, motorways and schools.

YY MaQueen....totally agree with all of that, apart from Brexit I have always believed he is a leaver at heart.

YY about anarchy

Are we really having a government propped up by a party with 200k votes who are against abortion and gay marriage?

Neither momentum nor JC called this election, so any anarchy you are detecting was brought on by TM, who did call it.

'Instead he chose to deliberately de-stablise the country by buying votes off students and public sector workers by promising them magic money which the country doesn't have'
Absolutely. They have done very well in achieving this without having to follow through.

Northern Ireland get a tonne of investment already however much of it is from the EU so doubtless the millions they will lose through brexit they'll be negotiating to get from Theresa another way.

We can hope!!

TM actually got more votes than labour in 97 who got 13,518,167.

I think the Queen should show her the door laughing all the way

I thought she'd have the sense to resign this morning, but then again she does have form for being bullish and just blustering along.

My dad just texted and said he thinks she'll 'limp along' for a week or two.

The Tories will get rid of her if she doesn't resign. Tories are not nice people

I think she will wait until after the Queens speech in a few weeks then go.

She surely has to. She was blindingly stupid enough to clearly define what would count as a win for her and her party, and to even say she would resign if Labour added more than 6 seats.

By her own metric it's been a resounding vote of no confidence in her. She failed to achieve everything she set out to achieve going into this election. If she had any integrity she'd have resigned as promised as soon as it became clear Labour had snapped up plenty more than 6 seats. Clearly she's choosing to drag it out, but there's no way she gets through this.

Why does she have to? She doesn't! She's forming a government with the DUP and will remain prime minister
So why on earth would she resign?

Nb i can't stand her and and am not a tory, but there's no way she's going voluntary

Full discloure; I'm a labour voter. But, I'm disgusted with some of the crap that has been levied at TM this morning. People voted against her party, not her. But the comentators are suggesting things like she lost the election because she didn't smile enough at voters or that people didn't warm to her enough. She was arrogant and it has back fired massively but voters didn't vote based on smiles.
