It will give whoever put May into power a virtual dictator power.

Especially as local short-lists will be supplined by central
government.

Its a totalitarian takeover by the tories, UKIP smashed by tory moles,
liberal democrats smashed bu Cleggless' ambition.. Labour smashed by
hard left lunacy, and you will elect only candidates chosen by The
Party.

I would be surprised now if Brexit will ever be achieved.

Democracy in Britain is probably dead.

Wanting a degree of social cohesion and fairness along the lines of
Sweden, for instance, isn't "hard left". I find it most amusing that
everyone including the BBC is telling me I can't vote for Corbyn
because
he is Not Appropriate and people of importance (Keith Vaz do they
mean?) won't accept him becoming Prime Minister.

I've not heard anyone saying that about Corbyn. His problem is that, as
a leader, he is useless. All he knows how to do is hold up a mike and
harangue a crowd. As a PM, he'd be a disaster, and that means there is
no credible opposition (hasn't been since he got in) and no credible
alternative government.

With our electoral system, you never get a credible government.

A credible govt is one that has enough of a majority that it can get
its legislation through. Blair's govts were credible, whether or not
you liked them.

Most EU governments are weak because they are coalitions of one sort or
another. So they can almost never decide to do anything, as witness
their response to the refugee crisis. Apart from the Poles and
Hungarians, that is, who are willing to say **** to political
correctness.

By the way don't imagine it would be an easy matter to rejoin the EU
once we have left. Then they most certainly will **** us over: no
rebate, yes to the Euro, and yes to Schengen. And yes to the egregious
EU Arrest Warrant.

why on earth would we want to?

Do you really think they will exist in 5 years time?
