[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 6682709, member: 8735"] I've just had an interesting conversation with a fairly knowledgeable and well-connected chum, and a point was raised by him that is pretty obvious, but which hadn't occurred to me. :banghead: There are 65 or so members of the ERG (plus some non-members who vote with them) who were [U]returned[/U] to Parliament in the GE, you know, the GE in which Boris got an 80 seat majority. These are people who sat in the last Parliament and are back for more. That same GE brought in 47 new seats, and members, to the PCP as well as other new members replacing retirees and defectors - such as Monsieur Dominic Grieve. And CCHQ has >35 of its new MPs as supporters of a hard Brexit, i.e. happy to walk away, if a deal doesn't seem acceptable to them. That puts the total number of Conservative MPs who would [I]favour[/I] a harder Brexit at, at least, the hundred mark. Which is more than Boris's 80 seat majority... [/QUOTE]
