Will Cameron resign if he looses EU vote?

I have read the posts properly. If anyone leaves there will be more room for immigrants. If people leave, others can come in without making any difference to migrant statistics. Of course the Tories would rather net migration was negative - more people leaving than coming in - as that would improve their migration statistics. Which is why I said families.
Note I said immigrants, not asylum seekers or refugees.
Immigrants are welcome by the Tories providing they have the right abilities and finance.

I assume the ' good. More room for immigrants' post was made because Djen thought they were leaving if Corbyn became PM.

Djen

I know...who hasn't read the posts properly?

If only people started reading posts properly.......
Charleygirl and Luckygirl would be emigrating (joke) if Gove became PM.

You mean like so many of the young men fleeing from Syria?

Do you mean they will go on their own? No families?

Only two.

Good. More room for immigrants.

Where will you go?

I will be emigrating with Luckygirl

I expect a massive surge of support for the Lib Dems next time around, they will come into power, it will be a massive landslide victory, or they will powershare with the Conservatives possibly.Just a daydream, obviously.
A nightmare, would be Labour under the beady eye of Corbyn as PM, however, that scenario is equally as unlikely as the first daydream.

No thanks.

Anyone can put themselves forward to be leader. They are voted on by MPs only until there are two candidates left. Then those final two are voted on by people who have been full members for at least three months.

Get your membership early 2017 if you want to vote.

Personally I think he would stay on if the vote was to leave Europe.
I dont see at all why he would need to resign.

Must Google it, but always thought it was the Conservative Party members ( full members!) along with elected Conservative MP's who voted for their leader. the MP's only put forward two candidates to choose from , or they did last time, as far as I know.

Who ever the conservatives decide should vote for their leader, and I think Jen is right, only one class of the party do get to vote, a throw-back from a more stratified society I suppose, what I wonder is what is everyone's opinion of someone like Gove becoming PM?

'Just MPs' ? His colleagues who might wish to have a say in who is to lead their party? Elected MPs.

Now isn't that a strange way of doing things

Who votes for his successor? I think it's just MPs until there are only two names left.

I don't think he had a choice Jbf. The words rock and hard place come to mind. He would have had to come out for in or out before the election I think and he couldn't carry all his party with him whichever he had opted for.

I bet he's regretting it, but I'm pretty sure he'll be off if the vote goes against him. He'll spin it as the 'honourable thing' to do.

I think he might be regretting ever having promised a referendum.

I don't think he would go immediately if the vote went against us staying in.

Michael Gove as a potential leader?! - I don't think so. I might emigrate!!

As I said, it hadn't even occurred to me Luckygirl that either of these two men, who I find quite despicable (although I do appreciate that others don't) would even be in the running but I suppose anything could happen.

We are talking about an out vote and up 'til recently that seemed unlikely but the polls (I know - who trusts them) have shown the vote to be closer and I think one showed it as a tiny majority out.

I have never really thought Boris could win (although who knows) and had really assumed Osborne would if the economy could be made to look OK but what if there is a real downturn - it has been talked about - what if there is an upsurge of the Conservative right because of an out vote - who could they choose. I think they will have destroyed Mrs May by then. Michael Portillo was talking about a speech he made when they were out for his blood. It was passed by Downing Street, as was Mrs Mays and when he made it he knew he was totally out of step with all the other conference speeches. He felt they had done the same to her.

It really doesn't bear thinking about but it is my head now ...

Probably they will be the wrong size.
What a bummer! (oh, wrong thread )
