with a sprinkling of patriotism
Do people think 16/17 year olds should be allowed to vote? I think the debate is sometimes deliberately overcomplicated. They put tax and NI and so they should be allowed to vote to have a say on how that is spent. Granted it may be a negligible amount, but that isn’t the point.
Listened for five minutes. Can't stand this shit.
Pure Trumpian politics.
Corbyn is bad but Boris is just as bad if he turns up that is. The whole debate will be a shambles and maybe a chance for Swinson to get some more votes.
quite possibly farrage in the mix as well... and possibly sturgeon as well
probably a messy debate - but for sure not a format i see Corbyn doing well in
No I don’t either so maybe a chance for someone to raise their profile like Clegg did in 2011.
Yes.
I'm yet to really hear an argument against it that wouldn't also disenfranchise vast swathes of the electorate.
I think she's brilliant.
If they want U18's to vote, how about putting that on a manifesto and getting elected?
And not saying that the Brexit bill is being rushed (after 3 years), then try to get such a major change done in a day.

If Labour lose the election, I hope that’s the end of Corbyn and we can get a decent electable Labour leader.
Meanwhile the people’s vote are internally imploding:
Jesse Phillips agrees.
Where is Tom Watson?
if thats true then what next?
Presumably a confidence motion?
4 amendments
1. for a referendum in March
2. EU citizens
3. 16/17 year olds
4. date on 9th
I think the electoral commission said its too short a time period to implement 3
so yeah i suspect that one does not get called but the EU amendment is a separate one and as EU citizens can already vote in local elections (and commonwealth citizens in gerenral elections) there isnt a technical reason it cant be done in the time frame ... so that one could still be selected
At which point probably the government spikes the bill
and then as I say - not sure what next - probably a no confidence motion (followed by an election - probably with out EU citizens voting as there is nobody to pass the legislation unless a GNU is formed )
A timeless tweet really.
I'd be surprised if a no confidence vote happened before any changes happened, if an amendment succeeded then all the opposition parties would be better off not tabling a motion of no confidence until they can get it through as a separate bill. But it's looking like 1 and 4 would be the only ones you mentioned that get put to a vote and 4 is the only one with a chance.
fecking Mumsnet. Ferchrissake.
It'll be one single debate, questions in advance, Boris will survive by the skin of his teeth and then hide like the coward he is hoping that nobody notices. He'll then talk big and tough in closed doors rallies and win a majority.
Sourpuss Soubry proving yet again that she can't lose with even the tiniest bit of dignity.
fecking spongers. Look at the size of that bin.
And here's me with a tiny general waste bin and no glass pickup. They're right; the system is flawed.
Well hold on lets give the guy a chance to respond
