As I said before I would expect sadly a repeat of February 1974, May like Heath says 'who governs Britain' the public says 'Not You'. Though like Feb 1974 it would be very close, remember Heath won the popular vote and a majority in England even if Wilson won most seats across the UK.IanB2 said:

Yes, so far my fake irreconcilable list is Conor Burns, Boris Johnson, Sherryl Murray and Henry Smith. The rump stands at 34 including Suella Braverman.Sean_F said:

If Theres's deal goes through on Friday I wonder if she will stand down as Con leader next week but stay on as PM to over see us leaving the EU on 22nd May.
A Con leadership election takes around two months so that would mean the new leader takes over as PM just after Brexit Day - It also means the Summer (June or July) is freed up for a general election.0 -
A recent poll suggested 61:39 in favour of remain over May' s deal in any referendum ; something the Tories may have briefly forgotten tonight.ydoethur said:

In fact those numbers are more decisive than any of the questions listed below - it's the getting to the referendum that's roughly as contentious as some of the others, which is certainly a bit illogical.0 -
That's a decent summary I think. If one wishes to be less pejorative, 'ERG true believers' will never switch is fine.another_richard said:

The DUP can do the maths and see the writing on the wall. They know that there's zero reason for them to switch early but by switching late they can name their price. Plus if they don't give in then they risk PM Corbyn. Plus they've flown kites about potentially backing it if they get the right assurances.Drutt said:

They'll be given assurances to guarantee no internal UK barriers and coincidentally another billion splurged on Northern Ireland for entirely unrelated reasons.

Because it is not a Deal. It is a non-Deal because so much is left undecided.

Looks like a range of views then, generally from strongly opposed to May's deal to mildly opposed. One thing that could sway some Tory voters is the new-found love, marshmallows and kisses for it from Boris and company, though, I suppose.Sean_F said:

US regulators are probing Swedbank over a series of money-laundering scandals in a dramatic escalation of the Swedish bank’s dirty-money problems.
The New York State Department of Financial Services wrote to Swedbank last month saying it was looking into seven separate matters involving the Swedish bank, according to a copy of the letter seen by the Financial Times.
News of the letter came on the same day that Swedish prosecutors raided Swedbank and only hours after it emerged that it handled €135bn of money from high-risk non-residents, mostly Russians, through its Estonian operation over the past decade.

My takes on Theresa May's self sacrifice to the false ERG god:
1. The ERG rationalisation that May's resignation makes a bad deal worthwhile is that what happens next is decided entirely by the ERG as part of their control of the next Tory leader. This needs to take no account of what parliament or the country wants.
2. Labour MPs have even less reason to vote for May's Deal.
3. Brexit destroys the DUP reputation for being wily political operators. They made their first mistake by supporting a Brexit that destabilises Northern Ireland. They compounded their mistake by throwing their lot in with the ERG, when a customs union would get them out of their backstop trap. I wouldn't rule out the DUP making a third mistake (from their PoV) by voting for May's Deal that doesn't include a customs union. However...
4. I think it's quite likely that MP votes will indicate something that includes a customs union. And ...
5. Don't imagine Brexit will be settled any time soon. Limbo will continue for years yet, at the grace and favour of the EU in terms of rolling over extensions.0 -

-

The assumption appears to be that if May's deal passes the Tory leadership contest is primed to start the day after exit day in late May but the PM stays in office as leader and PM until the contest is concluded. Puts a possible departure date into late summer, I guess?
The issue is that if her deal fails she appears to want to stay longer but many of her colleagues have a different view.0 -
