Yes, but not enough to replace Cameron with Boris or any of the others in favour of leaving, because the bulk of the Tory MPs dont want Britain to leave.

It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

How many tories would leave and join UKIP, still as MPs? Why should any?

And if an election were forced, how would UKIP fare? With a substantial portion of the tory party now in their ranks. It would depend upon whether the electorate voted for the party they traditionally supported or for the incumbent. However, a substantial number of seats for UKIP would simply make it more likely that Labour would form the next government. Is that what you are hoping for? Boris Johnson, Next leader of UKIP?

We will if the leave vote prevails. There is only an overwhelming majority of Tory MPs who *say* they dont want Britain to leave. There is no point in them lying about that. If this campaign has done anything, it should have showed you how selfish and unprincipled politicians are when it comes to their own personal gravy trains*. Very few of them have any gravy train involved with the EU. I can assure you that if the vote is Brexit, a majority of Tories will suddenly find that after all they only said that out of solidarity to the current leadership, and they really wanted out all along, and here are their CVS and can they have a job in the new Eurosceptic cabinet... IMO it is much more likely that they will stall and work out how to remain in the EU even if the vote is Brexit by a small margin. It is certainly possible that some might decide that Boris will be replacing Cameron and so change their position to make it more likely that Boris will pick them for cabinet, but IMO there is no chance that the vote will be Brexit and certainly not by a margin that will leave the Tories no option but to leave the EU with Boris in charge. *Except the UKIP and other Eurosceptic MEPS, who are essentially asking you to vote them out of their jobs. And who will become completely irrelevant in the unlikely event that the Brexit vote prevails with a large enough margin to see the Tories with no choice buy to do what the voters have said they should do. What is actually going to happen is Brexit fails, all the **** and wind dies down surprisingly quickly once the result is know, just like it did with the Scottish referendum. |

To have 'remain' ahead would mean lots of soft remainers would stay in bed. That's why the leave vote has to be whittled down from being ahead, otherwise people would say 'well its a foregone conclusion' People have to be made to feel that the last vote counts but that remain is slightly ahead. Frankly, I've been around a few decades, and one thing I think I can say with certainty is that I have never seen such a bitter nasty and dirty campaign as has been fought by the remainers. And the EU, and the 'liberal press' Irrespective of whether Britain is better in or out, the EU is absolutely no longer an organisation I want to be part of, and the likes of the beeb, the labour party, Camerons 'inners' and the MSM have gained nothing but UTTER contempt from me. Bet that will see them pouring from their windows like lemmings as soon as they read this post. Anything that gets us out from under these complete and utter ****S is worth voting for. |

How many tories would leave and join UKIP, still as MPs? None IMO, because UKIP would cease to exist if Britain leaves the EU, it would have no purpose at all and would lose all the funding it gets by having so many MEPs. Well yes, but if Cameron et al are in the seat, its at least two years before that happens, That's not right. Britain is free to leave any time it likes. and if they look like dragging their feet... Any extension of the 2 years can only be by mutual agreement and that isnt going to happen. Enough to defeat the government? Nope. There isnt a huge majority right now. Yes there is of MPs that dont want Britain to leave the EU. Ok not on that bill, because Labia would would with the Tories. But on something else? Nope. Yep. Nope, there isnt anything else they care about. Neither has the majority preference to be part of the EU.... ...been shown to actually exist. That's why we are having a referendum, Nope, the reason for the referendum was to shut up those Tory MPs that wanted Britain to leave the EU when the referendum had the voters say that they wanted Britain to stay in the EU. and if its a foregone conclsiuon why the dirt and smears and name calling from remain? Because that's how politics works. They all do it, and you do too with socialists and socialism. |

It's rather obvious Corbyn isn't 100% in favour of the EU either. Which is actually rather honest compared to the black and white approaches of both sides. That's leftie flavoured honesty.

Whilst there might be 650 MP only half of them will be Tories and thus likely to be invited so that's 325 in the queue for performing the arse licking. Out out that there are approx 120 government positions on offer so any one MP has a 35% chance of getting one, and that's before you deduct all of the has-beens who had their go in an earlier administration and "failed". That isn't negligible, tim |
