I've been looking at the candidate voting numbers again.
So we are now in a situation where Thursdays vote will be the last. Crabb and Fox are out and there are a maximum of 24 leave votes that they attracted which can be divided up between Leadsom and Gove, assuming that all the remain votes end up with May.
So if these 24 leave votes are distributed evenly, then Leadsom would have 78 and Gove would have 60.
If the 24 leave votes are distributed according to leave candidate existing split, then Leadsom would have 80 and Gove would have 58.
If Gove ends up in the run off position with May, this can only mean that there has been a stitch up by Gove / May backers to see off the Leadsom challenge.
May would see off Gove if put to the membership vote.
May may lose if pitted against Leadsom if put to the membership vote.
Keep your eye on those numbers. Tory leadership elections are never straight forward. Knifing each other at every opportunity....they have form.
How can UK negotiate for Scotland to stay in the EU, ''somehow''? If the UK is out, Scotland is out, too, so she should have her referendum, go independent and let the rest move on, otherwise everyone will be messing about for the rest of the century.
The Indepentistas will hang on to the hope that they will be allowed special treatment, Catalunya, as well. However, the EU has several members with autonomies, Italy and Germany, to name two, and this independence thing is a bucket of worms, as far as the central governments are concerned. That is why Spain's Rajoy is pushing that point. He is using that as a stick to beat the Catalans. If they have a referendum, here, it may influence many who do not want to see Catalunya outside of Europe, so they may vote ''No''.
Regardless of what several Brexit posters write on these threads, most of the people do not see the EU breaking up. That may be a bit of wishful thinking. I don't want that, either, but one must face realities.
Jacob Oubina said:“From a financial standing point of view, the consumer is actually slightly better off today in the U.S. than they were at Brexit,”
“You’re getting this added benefit of artificially low interest rates because of what’s going on around the world. And I don’t think that’s going to end anytime soon.”
So, Gove eliminated on 46 votes, which is 2 less than he got in the first round. I'm a bit surprised he didn't increase his tally. Just goes to show that the MP's didn't like his treacherous politics.
As expected, Leadsom held her own in the votes carve up, finishing on 84.
May secured the rest finishing on 199.
So I guess we enter a period now of policy formulation for each candidate which the membership can digest then vote on.
Not sure how the final voting works.
But would you not say looking at the last vote's that Theresa May would romp in.
The MP selection rounds only got us to the final 2 candidates.
Vote now goes out to the grassroots membership of the party, approx 150K members. You can expect the contest to be much closer now. They have a habit of picking the underdog.:clap:
