If May wins, they'll need to decide if they will continue supporting the government, and their rhetoric in the last few days suggest they wont. Then again the DUP may suffer under the GE they'd trigger, so they may not follow through on their words.

Parliament will still not support her deal. Without a mandate to sign the deal with the EU she'll be 'forced' to go back to the people or to a GE, in which not a single seat in HoC is safe. She talks about leaving the EU to respect the referendum, but rarely talks about the benefits of leaving. She is painting Labour into being the party of hot air. She hasnt bent over to the DUP...etc. I need to finish the thought process!

Geordonia has a ring to it also, perhaps the most isolated urban area of 2.6m they have. While Newcastle voted to remain, the surrounds did not.

She never had ANY intention of going ahead with the vote that was supposed to happen yesterday - it was all a time delaying act. She has no problem throwing DUP under the bus and dishonoring their agreement. The Government she leads has been found in contempt - the first time in history it has ever occurred. Any viewing of any HoC exchanges over the last 3 days will see how utterly disingenuous her responses have been time and again. She even lied thru her teeth to get the PM job in the first place. She played both sides of the debate in the referendum campaign itself - hedging her bets. Need I keep going - because I could. I can't believe it's a serious question!

Long way to go to shift the focus from the rUK to the EU and elsewhere. rUK - 53% exports EU27 - 27% World - 20% Scotland is in a similar position, actually even more dependent on the rUK trade. It would have to seriously reorient their exports to think about independence. AFAIk the figure in Scotland's case is 60%+.
