Yet another TM speech

The whole Parliamentary system in this country is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

No matter what your affiliation it can never be right that the GREEN PARTY got around 500,000 votes and just ONE MP, whilst the DUP with half those votes got TEN!

May for 42% of the vote and Corbyn just 2 or 3% behind, but a huge number less seats. There is something undemocratic and basically wrong with the way we carry out our elections in this country.

Now through this woman's concite we have ended up the laughing stock of Europe and in an much worse position before. Shame on her!

Yes she can clear off just like Cameron, costing the country untold millions, division and instability

<sigh>

What to you expect her to go, the dying fly? She us making the best of a bad job, she shouldn't have called another election, she should have fought it, she should not have alienated every level of society. But she us infinitely better than Corbyn, a truly dreadful man. Never mind he has the ever eloquent Diane to assist him doling out the freebies.

It won't work rig

Rigby46 Fri 09-Jun-17 13:43:20

And it's us that are facing the consequences - when it all goes belly up financially she can run off with her wealthy husband whilst we have to stay and suffer

Rigby46 Fri 09-Jun-17 13:41:08

Give her a go? It's not a roundabout

Rigby46 Fri 09-Jun-17 13:40:16

She's governing with the help,of a bunch of medievalist Christian, women and gay hating fundementalists. You may think that's OK , many of us don't. My body, my choice.

She is toast no doubt about it. It suits the Tories to keep her there while they get their act together but watch that space.

LadyGracie Fri 09-Jun-17 13:27:37

Yes she has failed I agree, let's see if they give her a go. It was utter stupidity to call a GE, but she did and now she's facing the consequences.

MaizieD Fri 09-Jun-17 13:20:17

I suspect the tories are busy sharpening the knives, LadyGracie. May has failed. They don't like failure.

LadyGracie Fri 09-Jun-17 13:12:06

I agree she shouldn't have called a GE. I'm glad she's still in. Good luck to her, I hope she stays

whitewave Fri 09-Jun-17 13:10:28

It was a rehash of every speech she has ever made. She just rearranges the words grin one trick pony

Rigby46 Fri 09-Jun-17 13:08:28

I'll give her a month

Rigby46 Fri 09-Jun-17 13:07:32

She said we need certainty -WTF we had it before she called the GE and WITHOUT getting into bed with the medievalist DUP. She has seriously seriously lost it.

Rigby46 Fri 09-Jun-17 13:01:59

Really, really, really? I thought we'd just had a general election designed to increase her majority where she ended up with fewer seats than the last one. She didn't mention it - it's been air brushed. Did it happen? She sounded very very strange - 5 years with the DUP? Misogynistic, homophobic, fundementallist - good luck with all of thatTessie.
