Imagine the fucking mess, one of those screaming for no extension will have to get an extension so they can hold a leadership contest.Assuming Theresa May does resign eventually and there's no general election called...
...who the fuck could realistically be our next Prime Minister? And is there anyone likely who isn't fucking terrifying to consider being in the job?

Probably not, but it does make me long for the days of Michael Portillo and Ken Clarke vying for leadership.
I actually never thought I'd be looking back at the politicians of the 90's and early 00's with fondness.
I know Article 50 won't be withdrawn but, She's fucked no matter what now. She'll be gone by Friday after she looses MV3. Revoking Article 50 is something I think needs to happen, take your foot of the throttle and apply the brakes because fuck me we need to rethink this whole thing, what a fucking disaster.She can't revoke without it going to the house first. It was put in place via a house motion and it will have to be removed by one too.
Best thing she could do for comedy and fuck the ERG-ness is remove the whip from all those who vote against her deal, then instantly resign. None of the fuckers will be able to run. Restore the whip after the first round is done and dusted.

Its going to be Jeremy Mc-cunt-face I can already see him licking his lips. But what type of Brexit will he seek?
A hard Brexit won't go through the commons, we know this already a no deal Brexit won't go through, a softer Brexit will but can he back a softer Brexit with the hardcore ERG lot are sat in the Tory benches. I highly doubt it.
Basically we're going to be stuck in extension hell till there is enough support to revoke article 50 or for a PV.
EU might swallow a short Brexit delay, but if MEP elections aren't held legally they can't extend it again.
At this point I'm certain the UK will be holding EP elections and I'll be doing my part to vote to try stop UKIP and that is something I hope everybody here is prepared to do.

I think if the EU are capable of reading the mood in parliament then they'll almost certainly make noises about offering a long extension for some sort of alternate plan...
Realistically: Hunt, Javid, Raab, Gove. Boris is the big one though, he's crazy popular with the membership who'll vote for him, but everyone knows that so they'll try to keep him out of the final 2 candidates who get presented to members.
It's not really about that though.Even if the petition gets 45 million legit signatures, I can still totally see Theresa dismissing it.
In fairness to the EU27, they must be fucking sick of this.Yeah, I really really agree with this. I've kinda been really surprised at the lack of astuteness of the EU at times. It almost feels like they don't follow UK politics as closely as you'd expect. Well, there is France who is pushing for maximum harshness, so that is a factor I assume.
I think MPs will move to get Boris out from the final two.
Boris as PM would definitely put the union at risk, he's really hated up here.
Honestly, I could see Gove being the one most consensus comes around. He's always been a leaver, but has been more...honest about the repercussions which may put remainers on his side.
Any remainer who will throw their hat in the ring won't make it by the membership, so I'm ruling Rudd out.
As we know the Tory membership is big for Brexit, the last poll was something like 80%...they also have a history of choosing someone who is not the Fav.... MP's have allready said they would resign the whip is Boris got the job.... there will be a desperate attempt to only give the membership 2 moderates, that will fail....most political commentators all agree, will have to be a brexiteer and most likely Raab, he is popular in Tory circles
If I was a betting man I would go with Rabb vs Hunt or Javid....Raab to win
I think No Deal is going to happen, based off May's bullshit last night.
In fairness to the EU27, they must be fucking sick of this.
Not just because it's a right pain in the arse for this to try to deal with our schizophrenic country, but a longer delay just extends the potential for uncertainty. This uncertainty is causing problems for EU businesses and industry and I can totally sympathise with them wanting to just get us out with the WA and get on with it.
I mean, I sorta hope you don't, because the UK will just shit on everything in the Council for the next year. What do they care if the whole thing burns down?
It gives you leverage, I would expect any country to do the same if they were in the UK's position.

He is self serving and only cares about how he looks, heard some interesting stories about him from those who have dealt with him.Who is that younger Tory MP from London who seems to talk reasonable sense at times? With the glasses. I can't remember his name but he gave a smart speech in the Commons last week against No Deal.
EDIT: Sam Gyimah.
Oh.He is self serving and only cares about how he looks, heard some interesting stories about him from those who have dealt with him.
I know many think like this in the EU but it's not just the U.K. which are giving the EU an headache, many far right parties are tipped to make massive gains this year in EP elections so this problem isn't just confined to the UK this is a Europe wide issue.
Yes, you were. I'd much rather you stayed, but it's every country for itself ATM.Also don't forget that the UK was a very good partner in the EU we were quick to bring legislation that the EP agreed or EU laws in fact we were quicker than Germany or France in that regard, we hardly never used our veto. I know there is image of the U.K. throwing spanner's into the EU engine constantly but really we didn't we were a good partner.
First thing he is apparently concerned with when doing events is how it will make him look.
Well, he's definitely joined the right party.First thing he is apparently concerned with when doing events is how it will make him look.
Was coming into a building and just stood there waiting to get another lift instead of getting into one there with the one person he was there to see.
Got on a busy train and used the one free seat next to him to place his suit jacket and made his assistant stand the whole journey.
Was being driven to an event by one of the organisers and then commented on the music in the car 'they really do play some rubbish the radio' only to be told by the driver that it was actually their CD.
Those are what I remember off the top of my head.
Just been stood in line at the coffee machine in a 'spoons in Sunderland behind a couple of gammons, moaning about Mosques and "all the council does for them"
Sunderland really is a shithole
Edit: I should add that they took a fucking age, so I was listening to their tripe for about 10 minutes
