I'm not sure he will get a go.  A successful no confidence motion in the government would require the DUP and a number of conservatives to vote for it. When push comes to shove, I don't see enough doing that, especially the DUP. Should he actually pull it off, then he's basically in same situation as May, with non enough MPs across the house to support any outcome. Some sort of government of national unity might be possible, but everything between the various groups seems so bitter, it's hard to see one working and Labour will be haunted by the spectre of Ramsey MacDonald.  Were he to force a general election by one way or another, there is no guarantee he would win it and also win it with enough MPs who shared his views to force what he wanted through parliament.  and anyway the EU have pretty much rejected what he's suggested so far.

I respect the views of those who voted Remain and think their concerns should be considered in the Leave arrangements. You clearly want the majority who voted Leave to be cometely ignored. I prefer non-totalitarian politics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Things like agreeable limits, mutually acceptable work visas for professions needing staff etc are compromises that can be discussed and agreed to suit people's concerns.

FoM in the UK is and never was without any restrictions.  Of course, the EU has already passed laws that address the majority of problems with free movement which led to Brexit in the first place: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44293265  Quote Things like agreeable limits, mutually acceptable work visas for professions needing staff etc are compromises that can be discussed and agreed to suit people's concerns. So it's no longer a "right" and totally fails to address remainers concerns. Edited January 12, 2019 by Magilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Exactly what I was thinking.  The sad thing is the underlying incitement for their actions comes from sections of the media, and from MPs acting as mouthpieces for the Russians and dark financial interests.
