No idea, just going by the Guardian's take. Quote 1) Introducing a form of national citizen service. David Cameron introduced a voluntary version of this. Umunna seems to favour making it compulsory. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2019/apr/25/brexit-latest-news-developments-theresa-may-told-tory-mps-expect-her-to-resign-before-end-of-year-as-possible-new-brexit-vote-planned-for-next-week-live-news?page=with:block-5cc18cb68f085bb0e0de811f#block-5cc18cb68f085bb0e0de811f 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) When are Change UK's MPs going to resign and contest by-elections? Their constituents should have a People's Vote on being represented by a party that they did not vote for.

Granny Danger Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The Independent online giving Umunna headline coverage! He’s claiming his bunch only had four weeks to organise a European campaign, so did Farage. Him and his fellow turncoats have become a political irrelevance in record time; shame. It will be interesting to see how they will vote in a VOC; they must be shit scared about fighting their seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how they will vote in a VOC; they must be shit scared about fighting their seats.No they won't, each of them will glide effortlessly into a well-paid sinecure because that's the way these things work.But their imminent demise as a party/movement/greetin' meeting does at least confirm that most voters still prefer conviction politics as opposed to the managerial type. On such a polarised issue as Brexit the middle ground was always going to turn into a huge sink hole.This is a point obviously still lost on Corbyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm be amazed if Brexit's preparations didn't start at the latest in December when May's deal went down, with shed loads of American money. He didn't plan it on the back of an envelope in a pub 6 weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 There's a lot of disgruntled melts in the Labour Party who are going to have to suck it up a bit longer unless they just have another coup attempt to pass the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirso Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 There's a lot of disgruntled melts in the Labour Party who are going to have to suck it up a bit longer unless they just have another coup attempt to pass the time.I'm fairly pro Corbyn but surely he's been weakened by these results?He's completely invisible . I've changed my mind, Labour need a new leader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got her wish, despite her party's anger, but hasn't resigned yet. Change UK's candidates were a strange bunch. They included Gavin Esler (ex BBC) and Rachel Johnson (Boris's sister). Then there were tired old retreads from other parties - Richard Ashworth (Tory MEP who defected in April), Stephen Dorrell (ex Tory Cabinet minister), Neil Carmichael (ex Tory MP) and Roger Casale (ex Labour MP). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
