My view on the Tory party.

I think the behaviour of some of the senior Tories is pretty disgraceful they are putting their personal ambitions ahead of the country.

There are a number of ministers who it is believed hate this deal and yet they have not resigned. There is talk that 5 of them will meet next week and identify changes they would like in the deal (PR exercise).

Of course what is going on is they are dragging this out under the cover of "loyalty to the leader" whilst hoping that the back bencher's stab May in the back. They can then push themselves as the next leader and scrap the deal. They are very aware that he who wields the knife is never the next leader.

Meanwhile the backbenchers are playing their own little game, plenty of hate for the deal but not many letters going in, again because they are "loyal". I wouldn't mind if they were but it is all BS they want her gone.

All this adds up to dragging this affair out because when it comes to it May will not have the numbers. Normally the Tories are good at "getting rid" and we need that now otherwise it will be Christmas and May will still be kicking the can down the road.

No one wants the seat because they all know it’s an impossibility to deliver a Brexit that does what was ‘advertised’.

In a survey seven out of ten Conservative Party member respondents oppose the draft Brexit deal.

I have had conversations with quite a few of my Conservatives chums and activists and not one is in favour of the proposed deal.

This is what you prefer over the EU

You keep saying that our political system is better than being in the EU, then you say this.

You argue against your own point

what deal do they want? that the EU would agree to? Why don't your chums unify and agree for the good of the country instead of squabbling?

The ERG have been very transparent as to what they want .

In general terms there is of course no overall pandemic approval for the draft deal, indeed wholesale and virulent oppostion to it but the PM wants the great and good to support it "In the national interest".

Maybe those Conservative MPs in Parliament who will have that crucial vote might conclude that a rejection of the deal might prove cataclysmic and decide to grudgingly back the deal.My feeling is that Conservative MPs are divided between pragmatists and realists.As things stand it really is difficult to see how the deal will be approved in Parliament.

I guess because it is not a system of class and privilege, other than that the EU have handled all this very professionally without any rancour or bitterness.

I am pleased we are staying in all but name, you have to be pragmatic.

I think the way they debate and pass legislation is more up to date, less bureaucratic with less political influence. They take advice from experts and looks at the needs of people

Our system is archaic and run by public school elites who only have self serving interests, people who don't live in the real world only their political bubble. The handling of Brexit has exposed how incompetent and out of touch our politicians are. That is undeniable

Agree with this. What a bunch of cvnts. David Davis and Boris exposed as being spineless and Not up to the job Boris even discredited by his own family. Meanwhile w***er Corbyn sits on his hands after failing to offer much opposition to a referendum that broke election law and conservatives eating each other. Waste of space the whole lot.

What May has done seems extremely clever to me, offered a worthless brexit (in the trade bloc permanently without a say in how it's run), if there is a second referendum, which I think strongly there will be, it will be based on 'in or out of the customs/union single market' (which the first one should have been on - or it should have been made clear that's what brexit would involve), not in or out of the EU itself which was deceptively vague bcos there has to be some formal relationship, and the country will vote to stay in the trade bloc imho

'A week is a long time in politics'

Who would have thought a week ago that the UK would remain in the EU in all but name, subject to their rules and paying 60 billions for the privilege?

To remain would obviously be far better for us so can't happen as it is Westminster.

If Mrs May were to call an election she could well win with labour votes, mine included much as I detest their social policies.

I thought this agreement was a starting point.
Going forwards after march then there would be on going tweaks.
It was never going to be a final 'this is what we have and thats it'
It will take time and slowly other rules will be taken back by the uk.
Im a remainer but know another vote; whether about this deal or a new brexit vote cant and shouldnt happen.
My side lost and there is no VAR.

You really know little of the organisation you love so much.

How can you pass legislation in an "up to date" manner compared to Westminster? Examples?

Less bureaucratic? Did you know that once a month the European Parliament moves from Brussels to Strasbourg at a cost of £150m a year as lorries transport paperwork.

The EU itself is extra bureaucracy! Why do we need have two governments? Two sets of politicians? Funny how other countries across Europe and the world manage just fine.

Less political influence? Do you realise how all the major banks lobby the EU in relative secrecy and all the crony capitalism? How former EU president Jose Manuel Barroso now works for Goldman Sachs. Look into this bank's role in the Greek crisis.

Look at the needs of the people? How can they effectively do this when 28 countries have to agree?

As soon as you mention class (public school elites), then your argument falls down. You're not arguing on the merits of the EU but a Marxist class warfare ideology, which has no place in modern society.

Theresa May, who went to a grammar school, is incompetent and LIED about delivering Brexit. There are dozens of actual Leave MPs who would have delivered. Theresa May and the Tories will pay the price by not being elected again. This is all basic democracy.

You know that Jeremy Corbyn voted against the Maastricht treaty in 1993 because the EU had handed control to "an unelected set of bankers".

Meanwhile, your esteemed leader Jean-Claude Juncker is a well-known drunk and this week was wearing two different shoes as he staggered off the stage. But at least he didn't study at Eton, right?

I love the idea that approval is viral and would create a pandemic.
