Some how he is going to gauge public opinion? and find a way forward. Now that is leadership for you. I cannot answer the question so go back to your CLP's and get me the answer so I can take it as my own!! Well not quite. The NEC will discuss it tomorrow, committees will meet, processes gone through etc etc etc. Maybe a deal has been done? The Speaker makes the ultimate sacrifice and takes all the heat for as long as possible (Thursday would be good) then goes (after taking advice of course) giving GB time to get others to do his thinking for him before he comes to save the day!?
