Buzzfeed (HERE) are claiming the tories are heading for an all-out war over Brexit. The majority of tory MPs (185) were remainers while 138 were for leaving. The party is split over Europe as it has been for the last 30 years or so.
Leavers are also the majority in Labour, the SNP and the Lib-Dems so altogether about 75% of the House of Commons was in favour of remaing. In the Lords it is even higher at about 85%.
It is hard to see how the process is going to be smooth and quick when there is so much rancour and ill feeling. Ken Clarke has openly said he would vote against triggering Article 50 if it goes to parliament and this is what Mrs May and the mad Brexiteers are worried about. The whole thing may yet end in tears for the tories.
