Brexit: What will happen now Theresa May has won no confidence vote?

The PM won the support of 200 Tory MPs, enough to stay in post, but with 117 MPs calling for her to go her time in charge seems to be running out.

Dominic Raab now FAVOURITE to replace Theresa May as no-confidence vote called in PM

DOMINIC Raab is now the favourite the replace Theresa May as the PM faces a no-confidence vote over her handling of Brexit.

I think it is between Dominic Raab and Sajid Javid. If it goes to party members, Raab as a committed brexiteer will win. But MPs might try & block Raab from getting on the ballot, perhaps with another Remainer like Hammond, in which case Javid would win.

Why Leave would win next time round

(11.12.2018) But Remainers wanting a second referendum – and not all do – should be careful what they wish for. A second referendum would be far more divisive than the first, possibly leaving a permanently scarred country. And it would also almost certainly fail to overturn Brexit.

Motion of no confidence

A motion of no confidence, or censure motion, is a motion moved in the House of Commons with the wording: ‚That this House has no confidence in HM Government‘. If such a motion is agreed to, and a new government with the support of a majority of MPs cannot be formed within a period of 14 calendar days, Parliament is dissolved and an early General Election is triggered.

A motion of no confidence is one of only two ways in which an early General Election may be triggered under the terms of the Fixed Term Parliaments Act 2011.

What happens if PM loses confidence vote

Depending on how many candidates there are, rounds of elections will be held, and the MPs with the fewest votes would drop out of the race one by one.

That all changes when there are two candidates left – Conservative Party members will have the final say in an open election.
