The King may theoretically have that power but it would be like getting a dog and barking yourself. It is a mistake to view the numbers in a commons vote just as "numbers". Everyone knows everyone. It is perfectly possible to vote for someone on the understanding that he steps down. That means he doesnt have the humiliation of losing, remember he was Tory leader as well as PM, publicly voting against him is an act of disloyalty, which most would want to avoid.If he didn't step down after losing a motion of no confidence he surely would have been sacked by the King soon after?
And the Norway Campaign (for which was responsible Churchill ) did last to 10 JUNE .
You can be terminally ill and not feel ill, or more likely in this case, the symptoms are so small and easily misinterpreted you do not know you are seriously ill. In which case as you and those around you will not take actions because they believe you are seriously ill.Feeling ill and being ill are two different things .
I stick to my point that you do not become terminal ill in a few days .
I think you got this the wrong way around. Everything in his world is a myth, what is missing is any reality.Is there anything in your world that isnt a myth? You know less than someone who has just watched The Battle of Britain.

At least he sometimes comes back after criticism of his assertions with more detailed "information" attempting to gloss over his earlier errors, indicating he must be doing at least some remedial reading. This is not a bad thing; maybe a decade or two of this could lead to some revelations.Remember this is the person who
a) Believes a handful of US Marines in Iceland can take the Shetland islands, Invade Scotland, take the rest of the UK, build up the resources to launch a second front all without control of the Atlantic.
b) That the Russian forces didn't need the LL to survive and beat the Germans. That the LL aircraft would be too much for the Soviet Union to train pilots and engineers to fly and maintain them, despite the fact the rather obvious fact, that they did train the pilots to fly and maintain them.
c) That no one was asking for the P39 as they wouldn't be needed as the front line was so vast there was little air to air combat. To be fair after the memo from the British Archives showing that Stalin was personally asking for P39's and Spitfires, he did stop talking about that
d) That Russia's admittedly prodigious efforts to build armoured vehicles wouldn't have been impacted buy the loss of LL, despite LL supplying half of the armoured plate
e) That Marshal Zhukov views can be ignored as he clearly had no idea of what he was talking about
f) That radar in the BOB had a grossly exaggerated importance because it pointed out to sea, whilst ignoring all the other benefits of Radar and the existence of the Observation Corp and ignoring any half way decent history of the BOB arguably the most researched and documented air battle ever.

And Wiki is wrong
Sadly, on that particular occasion Wiki was correct, I just couldnt be bothered to argue the point.Well, after countless posts filled with shifting positions (ad nauseam), we were treated to this startling revelation:

You were saying that the Allies were hustled out of Norway .And, this is not correct : they were not hustled out of Norway during the Norway debate .Did I write anywhere that it ended by the beginning of May?
This pettifoggery of yours is sad. Your need to be Right-Online® is even sadder. Chamberlain's government mismanaged the war, and he was losing the confidence of Parliament. Even though he won the vote, he still understood, unlike you, that his goose was cooked.
It won't be long before you're reduced to pointing out spelling errors.

There are conditions, a number in fact where you can become terminally ill in a few days

The Norway debate did not cause the resignation of Chamberlain .The Norway Debate, sometimes called the Narvik Debate, was a momentous debate in the British House of Commons during the Second World War from 7 to 9 May 1940. It has been called the most far-reaching parliamentary debate of the twentieth century. At the end of the second day, there was a division of the House[a] for the members to hold a vote of no confidence which was won by the government, but with a drastically reduced majority. That led, on 10 May, to Neville Chamberlain's resignation as prime minister and the replacement of his war ministry by a broadly based coalition government which, under Winston Churchill, governed the United Kingdom until after the end of the war in Europe in May 1945.
It's lopsided, I know, I was just trying to point to the possibility of some future redemption.Get a large piece of paper (A roll of wallpaper might suffice) and do the following
i) On the left hand side list the things where he has modified his statements, or thoughts
ii) Book a week off work
iii) on the right hand side write the things down where he hasn't modified his thoughts, statements, supplied evidence, simply stopped commenting on a something he has clearly said or stated
He just resigned the next day, pure coincidence?The Norway debate did not cause the resignation of Chamberlain .
I think it shook his faith in his power to successfully steer the ship of state through stormy seas.He just resigned the next day, pure coincidence?
