Looks very much like Johnson is going to go for a snap GE. This requires two-thirds of MPs to agree, though. Opposition parties should refuse to agree to an election until No-Deal has been ruled out.
Corbyn's been calling for an election for the last 2 years. Are you seriously recommending that he chickens out in front of the electorate. He'd be a laughing stock
But if No Deal is legally ruled out by the Parliamentary rebels, and Boris calls for an election on, say, October 15, he can argue that he's working towards 31/10 and it's the rebels and the EU that are obstructing him. He's the only one able to get us out. It's persuasive for many. Alternatively, he could set an October 15 date, and then delay it until after October 31 to get Brexit done.
And you think the electorate would blame Johnson? Corbyn would look incredibly weak, after claiming he would win an election for 2 years. Frit
If there was a GE now or in the near future, sadly Labour will be destroyed.....for many working class people, the dream is over
Putting the country first. Get rid of the catastrophic No Deal, extend A50 so that Johnson actually has to tell us what kind of deal he thinks he can get - exposing the fact that he currently has no intention of actually trying to get one - and then have a GE.
Well that's the Remain view. But there are an increasing amount of voters that just want this done and behind us, so commerce has certainty and we move on. Corbyn has a difficult decision ahead of him.
Is there no depths to which Boris will not go. He takes in a 15 week old rescue puppy.....well that has got all the old lady and pre-pubescent girl votes tied up https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-po...s-new-rescue-puppy-moves-in-to-downing-street
Let's just say, from a Leaver's point of view, I have a lot more faith in his effectiveness than Ollie Robbins
Very good, Beth. I hadn't seen it that way, but you're right. In fairness, I think Carrie is very pro animal welfare
This (sadly imo) is correct. And with Lib Dem and Brexit Party squeezing Labour vote I can see Cons walking home with the type of majority May was dreaming of. Odd, as a Tory Party member for over 20 years, to have no excitment about that prospect.
Boris is incredibly lucky to be facing Jeremy Corbyn. If Hilary Benn was Labour leader, even though he's rather weak, Swinson would jump into bed with him without a second thought figuratively speaking
