Theresa May, Brexit People's March, Second Referendum
Theresa May faces a potential cabinet coup as senior ministers reportedly plot to replace her with David Lidington. Over one million protesters gathered in London for the "Put it to the People" march, organized by the pro-EU group Open Britain, to demand a second referendum. The strategy of repeated voting until a desired outcome is reached is noted as a recurring pattern within European Union political history, similar to the Lisbon Treaty ratifications.

00:00 That's a classic! Celebrating new beginnings and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State here in downtown Austin, Tejas in the Cluedio. In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're not celebrating the Brexit...I'm John C. DeVore It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Well there is no Brexit to celebrate just yet
00:36 Huge protests. Well, no that was not a protest it was the people's March People's March It's the put it to the people march That's what I was yeah, that's what they're gonna end up doing by the way Yeah, listen to me putting into the people like it assure you would you like a report? Well, I have one too but play yours. Has the British Prime Minister Theresa May made her usual trip to church on Sunday? The speculation it's anything but business as usual within her cabinet Several newspapers in the UK say that ministers are plotting a coup against Mrs May To replace her with a caretaker leader Uh-oh! The Times claims these senior conservative David Lidington is the likely choice to replace the PM because he's effectively her deputy Mr Liddington isn't so sure
01:25 I don't think that any wish to take it from the PM, I think is doing a fantastic job. One thing working closely with the Prime Minister does is cure you completely of any lingering shred of ambition to want to do that task absolute admiration for the way she's going about it. On Saturday a huge demonstration was held by people opposed to Brexit, organisers say more than 1 million people were there campaigners weighed European flags and placards called for a second referendum I have Rare audio of one of the speakers at the put it to the people which I think before you do that. I want to mention they It's always interesting to me when they say organizers estimate oh, yes, I mean as in a Organizers because these signs were good these signs was was kind of a hybrid They're trying to do If you looked at the signs that put it to the people signs They look like they were homemade but they were anything but
02:26 they were professional. Yes, and it's really incumbent upon journalists to make the estimate of how many people themselves... Yeah not the organizers which is Open Britain. Uh yeah Open Britain that's exactly the right name too! You know so they have a wiki page open britain They are a pro-European Union campaign group set up in the aftermath of the 2016 European Union referendum Individuals leading this are former ministers Pat McFadden of Labor, Norman Lamb a liberal Democrat and conservatives Anna Soubry, Nikki Morgan and Dominic Grieve none of whom I know anything about. Yeah we probably won't know anything about them on this show next clip go oh I was going to play a quickie here
03:18 Yeah, one of the speakers in the crowd. You can only vote for a deal if you let the people vote on it too! That's the only way out of this mess. The way to solve this crisis is to recognize we're all in this together. The way to break the stalemate is for Parliament and the people to come together, The way to reunite our country Is to decide on our future Together It's time to say with one voice Put it To The People I like the positioning because the way I receive this
04:07 It shouldn't just be Parliament, it shouldn't just be the people. It should be everyone together! Kumbaya! Simpatico! Well his joke of course is that... Kiretsu! Yes exactly. Kiretsu! Of course the joke is that they could have just They voted to leave. They could have just left and gone with WTO rules and become the trading... Well, they can still do that! It's not like... Yeah, they're not gonna do that. No? Well, no. But the point is they could have done it right away And it might've been more doable then than it is now because you know this argument, because they've come up with these ideas. Mm-hmm. To well we just can't do something simple like leave Can't do THAT Even the chancellor of the exchequer
04:56 Isn't that the Minister of Finance or the... He's like the Secretary of the Treasury. He had a... he's all for another referendum! So I'm not sure that there is a majority in Parliament in support of second referendum but it's a perfectly coherent proposition, many people will be strongly opposed to it. Not us! It deserves to be considered along with the other proposals that you've got on the list Yeah, interesting use of that word there. Coherent I like it! I'm gonna start using it It's a very coherent idea So just to reiterate from the moment this Brexit thing cranked up we knew there would be
05:39 a do-over, a second referendum. And why do we know that Adam? That is because it is the EU way John! It's when they were voting on the Lisbon Treaty Oh I'm sorry France and Holland not good enough you got to do over oh Ireland well let's just vote again to make sure you know exactly what you meant to say then they just keep doing votes until they get the answer they want I thought the Ireland one went three votes. It's possible, keep going! Yeah come on two out of three. Come on that ain't bad. One of those guys just betting. Okay okay two out of three or five out of seven come on let's no wait i like your Uri Geller's open note to
