Well you've got the choice of Tory and whatever Brexit they can achieve down the line or Labour/Lib and none.

May isn't going to give away her position to the EU and how far she is prepared to go for certain things beforehand.

Thats all true and I know that, but just saying why I think she should do a tv debate, not that I expect it to change any outcome. But some more hardline brexiteers should be as prepared as a remainer like me to be disappointed with what she is prepared to compromise on, they seem to forget she was an unsure remainer and Johnson was an unsure leaver, both may compromise more than some expect or want, she may well be avoiding saying to keep them in the dark as much as the remainers.

Leavers knew what they were voting for in the main they knew they were not voting for no change. Before the EU existed immigration existed and people applied to live and work here in their millions. What changed is unfettered immigration with hardly any checks to see who was coming in rubber stamped by a federal monster hell bent on destroying national cultures and identities.

Negotiations don't get discussed in public that would just be plain stupid. I assume that it's going to be as close to a full Brexit as was offered by every politician before the referendum.

Whatever happens immigration wont reduce greatly. Not every politician offered a full brexit, May was one that didn't and Jonhnson was another that was undecided until the last minute and wasnt a full brext devotee.

I tend to agree with you there with respect to immigration,but our own Parliamentarians wont be able to blame Brussels if they continue to allow mass immigration and could be held to account directly.

Savaged by yvette expenses swindler cooper lol
 
She won't be out in the general public, she has always avoided such unless it's managed.

lynton crosby has given her a 3 word soundbite and that is all you will hear from her mouth, "Strong and Stable".

So easily could be "strength through purity"
;-)

You'll find that any negotiation has an element of Horse trading but the spirit of the vote will be honoured. Remainers seem to want to change the goalposts when the vote and discussions before the vote were quite clear. If remainers were so confident that they were going to get a mythical soft Brexit they wouldn't be constantly complaining about it on a daily basis.

TM is doing a fine job.

You hit the nail on the head. This mythical soft brexit was never an option. Cameron didnt get it in his negotiations. The EU explained time and again it was never on the table and still now prats like clegg and farron are bleating on about it being an option.

May was a Remainer ffs - she made her mind up early on ended up "losing" and still ended up as PM.

You may or may not be right. I dont trust anything May says, she changes tack all the time. What makes me wonder though is all these hardline leavers willing to put all their trust in somebody that campaigned to remain, somebody that said there wouldnt be a snap election, and how they will react if in yet another change of tack after winning an election with a bigger majority, she negotiates a deal with some sort of free trade deal with some free movement. Surely the leavers want some assurances from her what her red lines are. Do you have that much faith in her not to change with the wind again, I wouldnt if I was you.

Who out of the other candidates would Leavers vote for? May is obviously the best chance they've got. Corbyn-Farron? You work with what you've got and I for one believe she's the best chance leavers have got.

The election will not be about anything but brexit,suits the tories to sneak in policies without anyone noticing until it's too late

It's the challenge for the other Parties (except the Lib Dens who are still opposing Brexit) to broaden the debate. Yes it's not easy with the Tory dominated media but it's what the opposition have to do to prevent a Tory landslide.
