Disagreements about the implementation of brexit I believe


They said her Brexit deal was too moderate.

It should be noted this deal was negotiated by the first two people who resigned, sparking this crisis.

So mostly its about sticking May with the bag now that they know this isnt going to work.

No way she'll resign of her own free will, this is her chance to kill off the hardline brexiteer rebellion. If she survives and passes the bill (possibly depending on Labour/Lib Dem support, but unlikely) then it proves they have no teeth. There are four outcomes here:

1. Nothing happens. The brexiteers piss and moan, but May stays.
2. Vote of No Confidence. If 48 Tory MPs send in letters of no confidence to the 1922 committee, a vote of no confidence is triggered which requires 158 Tory MPs (a majority of party MPs) to push her out, and she is barred from running in the resulting leadership election.
3. Leadership challenge. May does what Major did and resigns to run in a leadership election. If she wins the rebellion is dead.
4. General Election. May decides to either get a majority so she has the votes for her deal, or let Labour sort it out. Could possibly even see a Tory split into two parties like what happened to Labour in the 80s. This seems likely at some point because IIRC minority governments have never lasted more than about two years anyway.

Edit: Secret fifth option is she tries to form a national government with Labour but that seems difficult.


I had no idea a PM could resign and trigger an immediate leadership challenge like that without ending their government!

The vice chairs of the party have both resigned.

It certainly looks like May is going to have to resign. She cannot possibly govern without the support of even her own minority gov.

I don't think Jay propositioning Taeler is outlandish.

I also don't put it past wrestlers to take sexual rejection all that kindly.

Even if Taeler is merely connecting dots where they arent connected I find her claim reasonable enough to mostly believe.

This is wrestling where as recently as the late 00s and early 10s you had major acts of women-hating men presented as just straight babyfaces

Of the apparent finalists, Hardiman was far and away the "best" choice and the only one really approaching "alright." IMO, of course. Basically the best choice one could expect from a Republican administration.

Hmmm....I actually want to see where Jamison ends up.

I think ideally Shell Party would get Jamison and Moths would get Goetic to insure each party has int leaning builds. Shells already have Torin so the more well rounded Jamison makes sense for them, while Goetic is more of mixed toward non combat skill build and would be helpful in directing the mountain of firepower that is the Moth Party.

That said his potential devil powers WOULD fit nicely with Team Morally Ambiguous over in the ditch.

They don't kill suspension of disbelief because they dont...DO anything.

Its just all the same booking.

The face and heel 50/50 book and have the exact same build as all the other face/heel feuds and then the ending is only different based on who they want to have go over.

The Nakamura feud was a LITTLE different because the dick kicking thing. I thought it was really dumb, but I admit it was at least dumb in a novel way.

Yeah back when Styles was feuding with Cena and right before he was feelling legit.

Its easier to be a legit heel champion.

As a babyface, he needs challengers that are worthy of him.

He hasn't had them but has 50/50'd them anyway which makes him feel like a midcarder, it does not make Nakamura or Rusev feel like Main Eventers.

Put it another way I don't think there's been a single feud since AJ Styles vs John Cena for the WWE Title that intrigued me enough to outweigh the appeal of Brock title matches. That was almost two years ago now.


Yuuuup

and yes scarlet is of course right.

The writing being bad is the main sin.

Brock is just the most able to be compelling despite it. Probably because he does not have to endure being written that often,

50/50 main event booking is not inherently good.

In fact, its inherently not good.

It was for example, good booking that AJ never lost to Nak and never really was in serious danger of losing to Nak.

If Rollins were a big enough star to be the main guy, then he, and not brock, would be the main guy.

Romans big story would be trying to overcome Seth Rollins, rather than overcoming brock.

This was even the case literally when Rollins did have the title.

He should be the main event specifically because there ARENT other stars

The #1 issue is that Rollins would be in the exact same programs he is currently in if the title on his shoulder was the Universal title.

It would bring the program down for Rollins, and not Brock, to be the main event.
