In the IMO unlikely event of a Brexit victory, with the bulk of Tory MPs
not in favour of leaving the EU, he may well be free to stay for as long
as he likes, if only because he would be much more likely to get more
concessions from the EU to remain than a replacement like Boris who
wouldnt even bother to see if he could get any.

If the margin's big enough he won't have a choice. He'll probably be out
by conference season in any case.

Of course he does if enough Tory MPs decide to ignore the referendum
result because they don't like it and realise that those who dont like it
won't be voting Labour at the next election because they dont like that,
because Labour opposes leaving the EU too. The Tory MPs certainly
wont be changing to Boris if they dont want to leave the EU.

Bet he isn't if the referendum result is to stay.

If it's Leave and he tries to ignore it, he'll be removed. There's
easily enough MPs who wouldn't accept that who will force a leadership
election.

The majority of MPs are in favour of remaining in.

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.

the MPs don't get the choice

they whittle the candidates down to two and the membership chooses.

The chances of there being two Remain candidates on that ballot are slim, so
the only way to avoid Boris is for the Remain MPs to rally around a
compromise Leave candidate

Keep it simple - it is not about "getting back" at Cameron. It is about
whether we should continue to be part of the EU.

I not convinced they don't. I suspect that there are a lot who are
gambling on Remain winning and want to be on the winning side for the
sake of their careers rather than because of any conviction. It will be
interesting to see how many suddenly discover that they've been

Boris is Boris.

A clever politician with just enough nous to realise there's more to
politics than winning elections.

I'd pick Boris, because I think he is smart enough to put some smart
people round him, and actually do something.

I am more than slightly impressed with many of the 'Leave' team.

You have no evidence of that.

There is only an overwhelming majority of Tory MPs who *say* they dont
want Britain to leave.

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*.

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...


*Except the UKIP and other Eurosceptic MEPS, who are essentially asking
you to vote them out of their jobs.

It's the Tory party, to quote Churchill, "the oposition are in
front of me, the enemy are behind me"! I'd give Camoron 10 minutes max
if Leave can win.

Incidentally, I'm puzzled by the opinion polls. These all show 50/50,
but the link here has very dfferent numbers:-

Wrong.

They are only saying that because they think Remain will win and they
want to back the winning side so that they will be rewarded with plum
jobs afterwards.


More lies.

Just look at the lemmings leave the sinking ship if they called it wrong.


Lemming dont leave sinking ships, they pour over cliff tops.


To the lay observer, rats look very simile to lemmings

Have you asked them all, or simply guessing?


Asked them when? If you ask them *after* as Brexit vote you'll likely
get a different answer from asking them now.

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.


I don't think it *is* honest. I think he really wants OUT but daren't
say so.

If the margin's big enough he won't have a choice. He'll probably be out
by conference season in any case.


Depends if there's enough will in the ToryParty to stab him in the back.


It's the Tory party, to quote Churchill, "the oposition are in
front of me, the enemy are behind me"! I'd give Camoron 10 minutes max
if Leave can win.

Incidentally, I'm puzzled by the opinion polls. These all show 50/50,
but the link here has very dfferent numbers:-

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/po...erons-11496039


Its important that people think its 50/50 to get a very big turnout. 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.

Anything that gets us out from under these complete and utter ****S is
worth voting for.

But not honest enough to declare his position?


He is a labour politician. What else do you expect?

In the EU, all national politics is about is winning elections and being
a (well paid) politician. Actually governing the country doesn't come
into it.

Nothing unusual in thinking people secretly agree with you even when it's
obvious to all others they don't.

Rather the same as starting a speech 'I think I'm speaking for everyone
when I say...

If he was really smart, he'd threaten to place Boris in charge of the EU
negotiations.


Absolutely. Way to make them last forever. Changing his mind overnight.
Every day.
