Theresa May is the worst PM since Neville Chamberlain
As he returned one winter day to a Great Britain that was running out of coal to generate electricity because of a nationwide rail strike after vacationing in the warm West Indies, he said the immortal words he will forever be remembered for: ‘Crisis, what crisis?’

yeah pushing for a new vote every time you lose until you win is one of the flaws of democracy and ignores the intent of the political behavior

I think you may need to acquaint yourself with democracy.
On of us is anti-democratic and it looks like it ain't me.

You're the one advocating to ignore the results of the referendum.

Not so. I'm arguing a new election be called in keeping with British law and a new Parliament be elected with the major issue to be voted on whether there should be a new referendum.

I don't think that's how it works.....

May's officials have just briefed reporters in Parliament, on what she sees as the way forward after her historic defeat. Here's a summary of what they told us:
Parliament will vote on the no-confidence motion in the government at 7 p.m. Wednesday after a debate starting around 1 p.m.
Jeremy Corbyn will open the debate and May will respond
After the confidence vote, which the premier expects to win, she will engage "constructively" with any senior politicians from all parties. Talks will start as soon as Thursday, and certainly by the end of the week, one of May's aides said
These talks could even include Labour leader Corbyn, but no one is ruled in or out yet
May's spokesman confirmed she still plans to take the U.K. out of the EU on March 29 and is not extending the Article 50 deadline

May's only saving grace is that Jeremy Corbyn is despised in Parliament by all Tories and many in Labour.

When you promise the people that they can sprout wings and fly if they just vote yes, don’t be shocked when you can’t deliver on it.

May might survive.
A spokesman for the Brexiteer-led European Research Group confirms that its members will be backing May's government in the confidence vote tomorrow.
The Democratic Unionist Party indicates it will vote with May in the confidence vote tomorrow and will work "constructively" to achieve a better deal.
Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson says he will back May in the confidence vote. "The issue is not the person, I would certainly vote for her and for the Conservative government tomorrow," he tells Sky News. "The one thing I do not want is Jeremy Corbyn taking over as our prime minister."
OR
Even so, the probability that Corbyn will be the next prime minister has surged, based on bookmaker quotes available on the Oddschecker website. Terminal users can click here to see the move.

The only way May doesn’t survive is if she resigns. She survived the no-confidence vote already so she’s good for another year.

If a country passes an unworkable resolution that ultimately fails after 2 and half years, putting it back to the people shouldn't be off the table.
