Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
Per a Commons clerk:


No seems to really understand it, other than to realise it's potentially very bad, given how much some of its signatories are crowing.
 
So basically, it doesn't matter what this bill says, if the Tories win an election with a big majority, they can do what they like and Labour would have to sit and deal with it?
I don't get why Corbyn is so scared of accepting an election until this bill has RA? The bill means absolutely nothing if the Tories win big?

Because the Tories could change the election date till after Oct 31st, and leave the EU with no deal. If the bill gets royal assent first, they can’t do that.
 
It might be to his plan but the issue is Boris is too immature not to get riled by all this criticism. Like Trump he's easily made to look a fool.
 
Why wouldn't they. Whatever people think about the EU, they have a vested interest in ensuring that the UK exit is as orderly as is possible

Idd they'll keep handing the initiative back to the UK. The UK wont be kicked out by running out of time, there'll always be an extension on the table as an alternative to no deal. If you leave without a deal they'll make sure to avoid as much responsibility as possible for it.

There’s probably a hard limit next summer. The EU budget will be coming up, and no-one needs the UK mess getting in the way of that.
 
Someone earlier this morning said that for Boris, everything is going to plan....
Bit of a strange plan I have to say unless his plan is to take a very public kicking and look rediculously pathetic.

Don't write him off just yet.

Just look at how many people have come around to the idea that no deal 'won't be all that bad'.

The tories have been in power for 28 out of the last 40 years. I don't understand it, but I'm not convinced that pattern is about to change.

Yet they haven't had a significant majority in 30...
 
If the EU grant extension I hope it stretches past the point where all these cnuts have to declare all of their dirty money sources. That would be sweet sweet nectar
 
I'm a bit disappointed no one has pointed out that the logic the Tories are using for a general election is equally applicable to a people's vote.

"Let the people decide in a general election!"
"Why don't we just ask them directly"
"Grumble grumble will of the people"

Yeah someone should offer to have people’s vote referendum if they are so keen on hearing where the country stand on this.

Quite. And look at the state the country is in.
 
Interesting to see a government arguing for an election and an opposition against one.

The opposition is not against an election. It quite rightly wants to have a no deal exit excluded by royal ascent and then they will agree to the election.
 
Corbyn is not stupid .He knows Conservatives are setting a trap with putting forward a General Election.
 
Every Tory that has stood to speak so far is really pushing the General election. I find this pretty strange.

They don’t want to own no deal, this is all a charade to try and goad Corbyn into calling a GE so they can cast him as the anti-democracy fiend who kept us in the EU beyond the 31st October.

My feeling has always been that he wants to get a majority through a GE to try and get his own fudge through or failing that, to have some sort of claim to a real mandate for no deal.
 
I do find it weird that you can stand up in Parliament and make statements about things that have occurred there which are factually untrue, and not be corrected.

The decision to submit article 50 was dumb. But the legislation did not reference leaving on the 29th of March with or without a deal. That’s just a lie.
