Sorry if I've offended you, but to me they have become synonymous. Anyways:

Give us an election. This farce cannot go on.
Any amendments to be voted on today?... or are they not announced yet
not seen this elsewhere - true or bullshit?
No need to apologise.
Anyway....
If there will be a General Election during the next few months, perhaps we could have a bit of fun and start a list of those MPs who ( 1 ) we think will lose their seats and ( 2 ) we hope will lose their seats.
Can I offer up ( 1 ) Jared O'Mara for being a complete dickhead and fraud, and ( 2 ) Chuka Umunna for being Chuka Umunna
nah... all that happens then is brexit party wins the next election based on a manifesto of resubmit article 50 (and probably nuke france)
The face is set to stay for at least a decade or so
I think Omara isnt standing which is probably for the best
I hope swinson looses her seat so corbyn has to beg chukka to form a coalition and chukka flounces out of the room like a child
feck it. This country will get what it deserves. If they return a Boris majority for which I have huge doubt that will happen then that's what it deserves.
I'm hoping for a hung parliament as the only way to send Brexit decision back to the people but this campaign needs to be so much more than Brexit.
Everyone must be sick and tired seeing food bank collections in every corner. In addition to every supermarket, now even my kids nursery is doing it which just highlights the absolutely horrendous state the Tories have reduced this country to.
If people can't see through the bullshit they deserve to suffer. I am resigned to this motto now.
Tactical voting to get rid of the tories hopefully will be up soon.
Jared won't be standing again, not that he would ever even stand a chance in Hallam. People hate him.
It'll be a Tory majority and a comfortable one.
Not sure it will be that black and white.
probably - unless labour join the remain alliance and Libs, Lab, SNP, Grens, Plaid all agree to one candidate per constituency - cant see coryn doing that as heaven forbid he might have to actually remain in a "European Empire of the 21st Century"
Would they have that big an impact? Will swing a few more votes Labour's way, but Brexit and Tory sympathisers are still strong according to this poll.

I hope you're right. I'd bet you're not however.
Listening to Parliament now, and it's been no means clear that Labour are backing an election. Looks like they are still trying to stall for time.
I dunno - about that - Id guess Libs would be the main beneficiary with the clear remain stance - and SNP in Scotland
Interestingly though I guess this would be a gateway to 16 year olds and possibly EU nationals in any future EU referendum?
Which will only happen in this generation if Labour/LibDem/SNP form a coalition? So not likely.
I think Labours plan to embarrass BJ with failure to leave by 31st October has failed. Its obvious to his supporters that he tried his very best; I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to decimate Brexit Party vote which would give him his majority, especially while Corbyn pisses off the middle age centrist vote.
I should clarify, I meant in regards to the typical voter who usually has a short journey to their polling booth (mine is a 5 minute walk) to go and put a tick in a box. I don’t know why it’s seen as this thing we should all be annoyed about.
I can see from your perspective it must be a bit of a pain. Does seem something that would be quite interesting to be involved in though!
Nothing is getting passed by this parliament.
It is interesting when you are in the midst of a close one and watching events unfold however the main job is to make no cock ups and make sure everything goes to plan.
In terms of voting, even easier to vote with a postal vote. Just complete and post.
I still think there is a possibility that he might get a non aggression pact with the brexit party if he can pursuade them to take a small enough slice of the cake - eg they stand in the top 20 labour leave seats
Provided he feels he can get a big enough majority to ensure he does not have to rely on farrage votes it would quite suit him I think - especially if he can keep then to around 10 seats or under (possibly even offer farrage a cushy role as a bung)
This on top of trying to ram through unicorn amendments, it's just bonkers.
And Govt. lost, so now amendments can be added, which is now very possible to scupper the whole thing.
also rumours the government may pull the whole thing if EU nationals are given the vote
Boris is PM and still crying around that someone else isn't delivering brexit. 
i like jess phillips...
"we can alll go ooooooooooohhhhhhh like children"
"we can alll go ooooooooooohhhhhhh like children"
That would make BJ look like a prick. He wants an election, he has to agree to what parliament decides.
Would put an end to his ‘chicken’ rhetoric.
Boris is PM and still crying around that someone else isn't delivering brexit.
It’s more pathetic as he delayed his own bill.
Wow Labour backbenchers openly rebelling against Corbyn as he says he's agreeing to an election.
Like riding out to battle as your own army tries to backstab you.

One credit I have to give BJ is his boundless and endless ability to talk lies, bluff and bullshit. He never stops.
‘Great deal’, ‘dither and delay’, etc
Rinse
Repeat
Day after day
