re: #215 CongoJack

I wonder when a Motion of No Confidence will be brought to the House of Commons.

Probably not any time soon. Shaky as Mrs. May’s Government may be, keeping it in power - even with its present structural problems - is likely to seem like the lesser evil for a lot of political actors. For the time being, anyway.

And besides, the Brits have royally fucked themselves over the Brexit: even if the political establishment comes to believe it was a mistake, they can neither cancel the Leaving process nor significantly renegotiate it without offending one or another major constituency. And proceeding with it will likely lead them into a major economic disaster with a year or two of finalization. Good job, chaps!
