General Election - December 12th, 2019

[SWP's back]

Why do you say that?

His history, politics and stance.

Ticking off from the Speaker because the blond wazzock doesn't bother with protocol.

I think you're mixing up seats with votes.

The Brexit party will have a lot of voters and if most or effectively all of them vote Conservative, then that means the Tories will win a lot of seats.

I don't see the Libdems (or the Brexit party) winning many seats at all, but that's not really my point. The influence will be on how those parties affect the overall voting.

I am going off the fact that in a number of the marginal seats for the Tories Lib Dems are the closest party to them. If you split Tory voters in these marginals you get Lib Dem's, I don't see the Brexit party hoovering up Labour voters they have a very narrow appeal to them.

 

[The perfect fumble]

His history, politics and stance.

Not good enough mate.

Ticking off from the Speaker because the blond wazzock doesn't bother with protocol.

He really has no respect for Parliament.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

All is not lost for Jezza. I'm sure if he does better than expected in a GE, he could always enter into a coalition with his Sinn Fein mates

You don’t find a consensus with a terrorist by shooting them and locking them up. You end up sitting down and talking to them. See NI, Afghanistan etc. The same will happen in Israel eventually. If you want peace you have to , eventually, sit down and talk. JC shaking hands with SF? Where are they now? Power sharing in NI(when they sort out Stormont), McGuiness shaking hand with the queen anyone?

I speak as ex forces who lost mates in NI but with hindsight can see the way the land has to lie.

Fuck me! Johnson is tanking at the despatch box.

I feared he’d be at least competent enough to create a nice highlights reel for the news, but he hasn’t even got that. He’s being clean destroyed by Corbyn, who always comes good when it matters most.

 

[The perfect fumble]

"Surrender Bill, Surrender Bill, Surrender Bill, Surrender Bill, Surrender Bill!"

 

[M18CTID]

I think that you have been too many right wing Tory rags mate unless you can back that up you are making some serious accusations there?

I don't think you need to read any right wing Tory rags to draw the conclusion he did. The Panorama programme a few weeks ago about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party was most enlightening. Of course, every single person involved with the programme could be part of an anti-Corbyn agenda.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Because Corbyn wants to leave.

I actually don't think you are that far off tbh.
The key is I think Corbyn would probably want to leave with a deal rather than Johnson who seems like he wants to drive the country off a cliff.

The next issue becomes is that there isn't another deal other than the WA on the table
