"Senior Tory MP admits “there will have to be a General Election” if May’s Brexit deal is voted down tonight
Senior Conservative Party MP has admitted that if Theresa May’s Brexit deal is voted down in the House of Commons again tonight, there will have to be a General Election to solve the impasse.
Speaking to the BBC’s Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg, the Tory MP for Broxbourne, Charles Walker, said that he couldn’t see how Theresa May’s administration could possibly remain in post after a second catastrophic defeat on her proposed Brexit withdrawal bill.
Walker stated:
“Well I think if the deal doesn’t get through tonight, I think there will have to be a General Election because this Parliament now looks very much like a failing Parliament.
We were elected to make decisions. We are elected, sometimes, to make imperfect decisions because perfection is often an illusion.
And if we can’t decide tonight to leave the EU under the terms the Prime Minister has negotiated, then I can’t see really how this government can continue in office. I think she will have to seek a new mandate.”
I understand Rupert Murdoch has chosen Gove as our next Prime Minister.
