FabSwingers.com forum: Ken Clarke for Caretaker PM

It sounds strange but possible, but the father of the house maybe a possible Caretaker PM if things go pearshaped.

Three things,

1. His proposal for brexit was only defeated by a 2 votes.

2. Possibly the only MP in parliament which commands respect from all members of parliament.

3. Wants Brexit done and has voted consistently in it occuring.

4. A sensible and responsible MP with years of governmental experience.

If Boris refuses to accept the will of parliament and this happens. I think Ken Clark is the only one who could unite this country in one fell swoop.

Hell, I’d vote for him if it was the case. But thats just me,

Your thoughts?

Anything is possible.

Could only arise from a no-confidence vote, I think, and the 14-day cooling off period.

Certainly, Corbyn would struggle to command cross-party support.

He could say - again - he is acting in the national interest and step to one side for a fortnight.

He's seemingly a fairly decent person and exceedingly so, in comparison to much of Johnson's government including him. I'd support him for the role if he promised revoking Article 50, which I don't think is in his plan.

After 3 conservative governments have brought us to this mess, I think it better to have a leader without a conservative background. Better him than Johnson, any day though

Revocation of Article 50 really is the nuclear option.

All hell would break loose.

Article 50 needed a mandate to start with, and it needs a mandate to finish with.

Your thoughts?

Only one of these two points can be correct. They are mutually exclusive.

Yes, it's a one-way ticket to somewhere.

Just no-one knows where yet.

I'm just lying back and enjoying the ride at the mo.

Ken Clarke.... Who wanted us to join the Euro, and then in 2005 said "the Euro has been a failure"

So a pragmatist?, it only serves to bolster his credentials as statesman who can guide us through these troubling times.

So you agree with him that the Euro, the flagship of the EU, is a failure?

If he had had his way, we would have the Euro now.

His view on the Euro really isn't relevant to his ability to sign a letter to the EU.

People can change their minds, Based on what they see.

That’s what we need, someone who can admit they are wrong, a statesman good or bad, we haven’t had one of them in years.

Someone to steer the brexit ship to safe shores for everyone, right?
