General Election - December 12th, 2019

[BobKowalski]

I would vote for the Excluded Middle Party if it had been invented, as it stands my vote will be uncast,

Fair enough.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Just watched an up sum of the week on SKY News - some bell end from the Guido Fawkes website basically didn't even mention Johnsons record in vote losing this week, nor his brother going, nor the reduction in the majority etc etc and somehow concluded that after the week he has had Johnson is in a stronger position and will win a GE ......when the opposition ( who are in chaos he says ) let him have one. It was like state TV in some banana republic - quite bizarre.

Was the weather forcast Scorchio?

Stephen Kinnock is a dick.

I thank you.

Never forget that documentary shot up to and including GE day in 2017. Kinnock’s wife had to tell him what to say. She probably had to change his nappies too. Clueless twat.

We'll see Len, desperate times mean desperate measures and a post October election may not be as cut and dried as you think...

Morning George, just read over my midday cup of tea and chocolate biscuit that the Government motion on Monday is a vote under the FPA which requires the two thirds majority.
Makes it all a bit less likely that the election will be in October, although according to the Times a senior Labour source said the party would not oppose an election date before October 31 - as long as it fell after October 19 by which point Mr Johnson would be obliged to ask for an extension.
Make of that what you will.

He wants May's deal back? Which has the distinction of being the only thing that Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn both agree is bonkers.

The rumour is they will table another motion in the event that fails, setting aside the FTPA and legislating for an October 15th election - single clause and simple majority bill.

I though it was the deal Labour and tories were negotiating after Mays 3rd defeat he wanted resurrected not Mays deal. ? Either way it only got through by accident because the government didn’t or forgot to appoint tellers in the vote.

 

[Len Rum]

How about showing respect that the man simply wants to deliver what was voted for in the referendum. It is that simple?

Shame then that the Tory ERGs voted down the deal the Tory Government had reached with the EU.
That deal would have meant we'd be out of the EU by now thereby delivering on "what was voted for in the referendum".
Those fcuking Tories tearing the country apart again.

Has to be agreed by the Speaker and if it's not been submitted already for Monday it's unlikely that it can get through before Parliament is prorogued on Thursday ( Lords filibustering, Labour amendments and all that).

So he would need to land a simple majority in the house? Makes chucking 21 MP's out of your party look like a great move.
