This is true Brexit is very much a non-conformist, anti status quo political position, so it is bound to be more independent minded, and indivualistic, MPs who support it.

They are therefore less inclined to organise.

However, as I understand it, the aim at the moment is to force May to change her policy on brexit. I think they are quite well positioned to do this. If their votes can no longer be taken for granted May is left in the bizarre situation of having to beg for Labour MPs to vote with her in parliament, while trying to scare Tory ones with threats that if they don't vote for her they'll get Corbyn.

She is probably going to cling to power as long as she can,, but she has built her remainer sandcastle in the middle of leave territory, with the bulk of party members, and voters, supporting brexit.

This is unsustainable.

Yes, brexiters do need to organise, but don't underestimate the weakness of May's position.

No surprise here. May has bounced the cabinet into this deal, and put a big sign up outside CCHQ, that the whole country can see, saying "Vote Conservative, but don't expect us to keep any of our promises".

Clever that. She has made politicians in general, look even worse than they already do, and in particular the Conservative party.

Extremists!!! They are against the current politically correct status quo, but every status quo will eventually experience a backlash.

Calling people who disagree with you extremists, renders the word meaningless, creating a risk that when the real extremists turn up, and change the definition of anti-semitism for their party, no one will know they are extremists.

Oh, May has written a letter, does anyone trust her anymore?

The answer is, of course, no.

She gives out fudge, then caves in to the EU, then gives out more fudge, then caves in to the EU, then gives ot more fudge, then caves in to t.................etc, etc, etc

She is trashing the brand, a complete and total disaster, and she is starting to look like a liar, at that point she's finished

Jeez, you sound like a Corbynista, "go away, I hate you, you're the wrong sort of voter", you say to people

Look sunshine, you would have lost the last election without leave voters, so be polite, and learn to say thank you.

I'm not voting Conservative if this is the brexit we are going to get.

I voted Conservative in the 2017GE but looks like it's going to be a one off.

No idea what to do now. This is absolutely disgraceful, it is a total betrayal of those who trusted her.

The only option really, for the Tories, is to split, into pro brexit, and remainer, otherwise I'm going to have to go and vote for UKIP, which is something I never expected to have to do,.

But she is creating a situation where we had 17.4 million people vote for brexit, and yet she is pushing brexit out of the political mainstream, so the only brexit supporting parties now are fringe parties.

Very dangerous game she's playing.

May is trashing the Conservative brand. That's all there is to say really.

She either lied to the electorate about her enthusiasm for brexit, or she was so incompetent, that remainer civil servants have been able to control her.

Neither is a good look. Really this is a no brainer, she has to go.

I know the metaphorical blood stains on the metaphorical carpet will be hard to remove, but the only reasons for keeping her are short term in nature, and generated by fear.

Politics always involves risk, you have to be brave enough to take those risks, not cling to the sinking life raft, in the hope you'll reach the shore before you drown.

Rule 1 of politics, never take the voters for granted.

She chose to become stuck, her dithering and delaying has been deliberate, her appointment of Olly Robbins.

This is clearly what she planned all along, she is totally untrustworthy.

If the Conservative party doesn't get rid of her they are in for a nasty surprise.
