Here we go again, Professor Lardy speaks. No ideas of his own but plenty to say about others
Whatever happens next, you can be sure that May needed to be the PM to make it happen, hence the excellent fence-sitting job she did during the referendum. When fighting a battle you don't send all of your troops in at once, you keep some in reserve.
Now I can see why you don't visit this half of the message board very much, because you are a bit thick. Stick to the football trivia section
BTW I've been saying all along that May and the Tories are up to something. Bye tosser
Nice to see I can still get under your skin Gluey
I actually came back to partially defend what you're saying. The alternative to everything being scripted and part of the plan is that the people who are attempting to run the country have absolutely no clue what they're doing. It's probably a lot more reassuring to think that this is all supposed to happen.
I still find it hard to believe that someone like Boris would fall on his sword to help May become PM...

This is the worst and most useless Government I can ever recall. Labour should have torn them to shreds.
I agree May would not have come out with her Brexit means Brexit remark if she knew Leadsom was quitting the race. As for Leadsom she is pathetic. Jeremy Corbyn has had a year of non stop hassle from the press / media. She can't cope it with it for a couple of days.
No I disagree. This was all about appealing to the 150,000 Tory members. Apparently the Tory membership was 50/50 between May and Leadsom. May was trying to reach out to them especially as the party members are usually elderly and pro Brexit.
She had to try and win some of these members from Leadsom.

Exactly.
This forum seems to be the home of conspiracy theorists now - but if there's a choice of explanation between 'cock up' and 'conspiracy' the answer (in my experience) is nearly always 'cock up'.
The Brexiteers didn't expect to win, had no plan, didn't want to be responsible for the mess, and ran away.
I agree the Brexiteers didn't expect to win, but I disagree that they didn't have a plan, when it is so obvious that they did.
It is well recognized that people who absorb everything the press and BBC throw at them suffer from cognitive dissonance, and quite frankly you'd have to be an idiot to believe the Tories didn't have a Plan B, given that the polls were so close.
Yep, it's clear that the person who went walkabouts during the referendum was going to be PM in the case of a Brexit vote. Furthermore, she would have to do it without facing the local Conservative Associations, due to her unpopularity at the grassroots level.
Why such a series of events? Just watch what happens next
I doubt whether anyone would describe Denis Healey as a conspiracy nutcase. Here's what he wrote: 'World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, whether it is to do with national issues or commerce; and most of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse strings.' As he was a co-founder of the Bilderberg Group, one might say he was extremely well informed.
George Carlin was even more blunt - “Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you."
He was talking of the USA but the same applies here. Those remarks were made in this five-minute video, The American Dream.
