politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » I’m struggling to make sense of the results, but if Mrs May doesn’t quit as PM a Tory MP will go all Leo Amery at her very soon

Yeah, the fact that Fife NE went to recount is proof that the LDs haven't made much progress in Scotland.

47000 votes in Bristol West for Lab - must be the most ever. Surely.

The Tories are on 40% after 283 results and most of their safe seats haven't declared yet.

kle4 · June 2017

I really don't want Boris as PM though. And we really cannot bloody take a delay for a Tory leadership election, nor do they want another coronation.

Lab set up well for stonking win in 2022 no matter what. (or a win in 2017 if another election happens).

TM will start the ball rolling through summer, the initial meetings etc, then new PM by August?

Of course, the horrible thought is that they then might call a GE for a mandate!

That's quite possible. A two-party race and a much bigger electorate since 1992.

Assuming a conservative government, that is the key point. Given the Brexit timetable (which I'm pretty certain won't be relaxed by our EU interlocutors), there really not much time to mess around, so it has to happen quickly.
