Will Cameron resign if he looses EU vote?

Gove? No way!

He makes Theresa May look like one of the Easter a Bunnies

a b****y iPad doing its own thing again. The machines are taking over the world.

Yup,the curse of the iPad, it likes to do it's own thing and needs closely watching!

I could not believe anyone would imagine such a thing Anya but when I was reading the article - and the Economist is more about economics than left or right politics - you could see their thinking.

Could anyone, whether ecstatic about the outcome or downcast, have foreseen JC as leader of the Labour Party? Anything is possible.

Get your membership early 2017 if you want to vote.

No thanks
I prefer to be a floating voter
I am the one who holds the power

Just out of interest how many different parties have you voted for rose.

Do you mean including the MRLP? or just the slightly more sensible ones?

No such thing as a floating voter for the Tory leadership.

(smile) I was wondering about every one - number wise that you have voted for. I suppose what I was asking is just how much a floating voter floats. Don't worry if you don't want to say - I'm being quite nosy I know.

No such thing as a floating voter for the Tory leadership although a few non-Labour people managed to join the Labour Party to vote in their leadership election (very very norty imo)


There must be quite a lot of us as otherwise the same party would remain in power for ever.

I don't think the typical floating voter floats very far Gracesgran

Sometimes a political party leaves them rather than the other way round.

Cameron said, "I will not lead a government that doesn't have that referendum in law and carried out."

Did that wording sound strange to anyone else?
We know that the Government is very keen to stay in the EU, so what's to stop them going back on the promise to hold a referendum if it looks like the result will go the other way?
We already know that Cameron is going to stand down as prime minister during this term in office, and as long as he did that before the said referendum should have taken place, he would not be going back on his statement, would he!

Call me sceptical if you like, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were to happen!

All political parties make up their own rules for choosing their leader.
With the Tories, only the parliamentary party votes until there are two candidates left. Then all members can vote for one of the remaining two.
However, you have to have been a fully paid up member for at least three months. That's why no floating voter will be able to vote for the next Tory leader.

I missed something I think Jen I thought rosequartz meant she was a general election floating voter.

That is an oddly worded sentence MamaCaz. I see what you are saying. "I'm going and no referendum". Difficult to know if that is what it means but it does seem to have some shrouded mean - or it was put together by someone with no natural flow? Curious.

She probably did, Gracesgran. But when I said get your membership early 2017 if you want to vote, I was talking about the Tory leadership.

I did gg and dj

Yes, I understood, and no, I won't be!

Meaning, I don't want to join a political party, I prefer to have a think and not pay allegiance to any of them.
