politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » NEW PB / Polling Matters podcast. May fights on – so what now?

On this week’s podcast, Keiran Pedley and Leo Barasi look back at events in a frantic week at Westminster. They debate whether May was right to postpone the meaningful vote, whether a change in leader would have any impact on Brexit negotiations and the prospect of another referendum breaking the parliamentary deadlock.

Of course SpaceShipTwo is also designed to go up and down safely carrying people on board.

V2 was designed to go up and crash down with explosives on board.

Somewhat more complicated adding in landing, people etc rather than just crashing into the ground to explode on impact.

You do all realise that former Nazis like Werner von Braun were instrumental in the Saturn V programme?

AmpfieldAndy

May continuing is a terrible outcome for the Tories. They will continue to fight over Brexit which will dominate 100% of the political agenda; they continue to be led by a lame duck leader whom no one wants to lead them in the next election because of her appalling campaigning skills and total detachment from people’s lives; rivals will spend all their time jockeying for position as power and authority drains from May; Hammond continues as Chancellor solely concerned with blocking no deal preparation whilst the economy will continue to deteriorate and investment go elsewhere and all this will serve to make the most hard left and incompetent Labour leadership since Foot look half way credible. There is no chance of rebuilding bridges with the DUP so the Tories will probably lose a vote of no confidence and be saddled with May as leader when the next election comes.

You couldn’t make it up. What muppets Tory MPs were not to ditch May whilst they had a chance. They deserve a Corbyn Gov; the rest of us don’t.

All good points, except that May not fighting on would leave all of them still valid with the added complication of running a divisive leadership campaign in the remaining few weeks.

That’s why she lost a 20% lead in the polls in a snap election she called and lost her.majority in the process. Who wants popularity like that.

You are very bitter and to be fair I do understand as your dream of no deal disappears into deal or remain

I doubt she even thinks about popularity but even so, you cannot name another politician in this country with a higher rating among voters

It was a clever move by whoever started the rumour about Mrs May standing down within 12 months, because I reckon that may have swung 10 or 15 votes in her favour yesterday. It turns out today it wasn't true and she's only saying she'll stand down "before the next general election".

You’ve been smoking too much wacky baccy if you think May’s deal will ever see the light of day.

As for her popularity, those will be the same polls that forecast a stomping majority for her at the last election will they.

I do not smoke and expect the deal to be put to the country in a referendum on deal or remain

You really do not like her poll ratings do you

Simply don’t believe them. A big majority of party members want her gone now according to the latest poll from CinHome and those polled would be her most loyal supporters.

I heard that Con members in many constituency's are refusing to go out and campaign for May and the Tories now.

If that snap election does come from a VONC in the New Year who the hell is going to turn out in the rain and snow to canvass for May and Hammond? Especially since Hammond has called all of them "extremists"

Nevermind Tory voters going on strike at the next election (which they will) Tory members will be with them...

May fights is a terrible outcome for the Tories. They continue to fight over Brexit which dominates 100% of the political agenda; they continue to be led by a lame duck leader whom no one wants to lead them in the next election because of her appalling campaigning skills and total detachment from people’s lives; rivals spend all their time jockeying for position as power and authority drains from May; Hammond continues as Chancellor solely concerned with blocking no deal preparation whilst the economy deteriorates and investment goes elsewhere and all this serves to make the most hard left and incompetent Labour leadership since Foot look half way credible.

And the most popular politician in the Country

That’s why she lost a 20% lead in the polls in a snap election she called and lost her.majority in the process. Who wants popularity like that.

You are very bitter and to be fair I do understand as your dream of no deal disappears into deal or remain

I doubt she even thinks about popularity but even so, you cannot name another politician in this country with a higher rating among voters

Well that is convenient. But it is not one poll it is poll after poll

The only poll that matters is one involving voting and she doesn’t do well with the public then. She only won yesterday by dint of the payroll vote.

You can eulogise about her if you wish but I’m bored with your sycophancy now.

There is no payroll vote... it's a secret ballot.

It was a clever move by whoever started the rumour about Mrs May standing down within 12 months, because I reckon that may have swung 10 or 15 votes in her favour yesterday. It turns out today it wasn't true and she's only saying she'll stand down "before the next general election".

And that could be within 12 months.

At this point anyone who actually believe's a word Mrs May says is really just playing along with her and looking for an excuse to vote her way.

Indeed it is, but payroll MPs aren’t going to vote her out and risk losing their jobs and perks, so regardless of the secret ballot, the payroll vote exists.

Whether you like her or not, the main point of comparison is Corbyn not anyone else in the Tories and whilst leader ratings are considered it will be against him.

May fight's on, so what ? Well at least there is the karmic retribution to the Tories. The catastrophe unleashed by the Bloomberg speech, the Joffrey having Ned Stark executed of British politics, will at least consume it's author. This has always been about the Conservative Party's lycenthropy over Europe and at least this way they get what they deserve.

This needs to be buried Grimm's Fairy Take deep into the political class' psyche. " What happens if we do some thing as fundamentally stupid as give the Bloomberg speech ? " " Gammondammerung ! " They must mutter round the camp fire.

The Tories have cried wolf too many times. They called Miliband "Red Ed" then nicked a load of his policies. They told us it was a choice between a strong and stable government or a coalition of chaos, and look what we got. Now they say that Corbyn will bankrupt the country meanwhile people talk up "F**k business" Boris.

I've voted Conservative all my life and even I might consider sitting this one out - or at least I would if it weren't for the fact I do think Corbyn will be an utter disaster. But I think you're right, many people who voted Conservative in 2017 will abstain this time. It's not about people rushing off to embrace Corbyn with open arms. It's about being so demoralised at this absolute s**tshow of a government that they're not worth getting up and voting for.
