"UKIP is under-represented in the Lords: Nigel Farage should go there, and Douglas Carswell should be found a new role if he wants one."

This one sentence encapsulates the arrogance of the Westminster Bubble, 4 million votes at the GE, far more in the Referendum .....and be offered one place in the Lords for UKIP and a bonus to Tory plant Carswell for a job well done. To be fair UKIP ought to have one and a half times the number of peers as the LibDems..

Elect May as PM and the public will tear your party to shreds in the next elections. The voters have realised that they have the power now, not out of touch scribblers.

I thought the answer to that lies in my mention of 'the electorate' and 'the ballot box'.
Perhaps I should make it more obvious for the slow learners, I was told in teachers training to dumb things down when talking to the low achievers.
Sorry.

She didn't sit it out, the internet is awash with pictures of her with IN campaigners. She may pretend that she did nothing, she will probably get away with it too, she's spent six years doing nothing without anyone in the party noticing it.

A bold move to ignore the wishes of the electorate and install someone who, in her years of office, has done nothing to address their major concerns. Bold and brave, and it will result in a kicking at the ballot box that will make your eyes water.
Did you learn nothing from the referendum results ?
Do you know nothing of the English people ?
How do you think they will take the insult ?

You are going to confuse the average politician by talking about carbon steel, they will see it as steel full of pollutants.

It's a bit rich, too, to blame the labour party. The Conservative 'Opposition' fell over themselves in the rush to vote with the government for the Climate Change Act.
The solution to such monumental errors is to deselect all those with PPE and law degrees and to elect some engineers, people who know what they are talking about. Similarly, someone with an idea about steel production and energy generation could write about it.

How many MEPs have UKIP got ? How many Cons and how many Lib/Dem ?

Wasn't that an election that was something to do with the EU ?

People won't be voting for Farage, are you really saying that people will vote to stay in because Farage is saying get out ?

Anyone who has taken decades, up til now, to decide that they want out is really not leadership material; and nor is someone who wanted out but has been too cowardly to say so.

Cameron seems to be making the best fist of getting us out at the moment.

Figureheads are elected, Leaders get on and lead, others follow. The clue is in the title.

Farage for all of his faults has been filling halls all around the country, week in, week out, not sitting on his arse waiting to be 'elected' by 'those who know best'.

What's the scare story for tomorrow ?

Plaque of locusts, death of our firstborn ?

People are openly laughing at the Prime Minister of a major player in the world.

He can't even lie convincingly.

The message is being 'got over', not to you obviously but to all thinking people out there beyond the Westminster ghetto.

Have you not noticed that the Leave campaign is in motion with or without the Conservative Party ?

The fact that so very few 'Conservatives' have broken cover and voiced concern on behalf of their electorate speaks volumes of the rest.

As for the 'renegotiations', do you take us all for fools ?

Given that Cameron threw his aces away before he started playing his hand shows us that you really wouldn't trust him to go down the shops for you let alone play with stakes so high as your country.

He asked for little and got even less, a few crumbs will be offered and touted as a wonderous deal.

And people will point and laugh at him.
