    MAYDAY Labour calls General Election vote which could bring Theresa May down within 2

    MAYDAY Labour calls General Election vote which could bring Theresa May down within 24 hours and overturn Brexit completely


    Why in the name of Herecura did they call for a general election for Brexit if they weren't going to do it?

    After the Labour leader formally tabled the motion, it was confirmed MPs will vote on whether or not to kick the Government out of power at 7pm tomorrow - which would trigger a General Election likely to take place just weeks before Brexit.

    Mrs May is likely to win tomorrow's confidence vote after the DUP confirmed they will continue to back her as PM despite opposing her Brexit strategy.


    If two thirds of MPs vote in favour of a motion which reads "This House has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government" then there's 14 days for the Government to pass one in favour.
    If that doesn't happen, a general election could be sparked.

    Perhaps they wanted civil war. It is time to get started.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    The UK may not yet be in the dustbin of history but electing Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister will certainly send it there.

    May survived a no confidence vote.
    So, that's Corbyn screwed.

    Had her own party voted against her in a motion of no confidence, she would have to call a General Election, which would require the dissolution of Parliament and all the members having to stand for re-election.
    Just like the Republican Party, they know on which side their bread is buttered.

    So she was beaten better than 2:1 but is now likely to win a vote of confidence. Sometimes it's good to know that other governments are screwed up too!
