It was some punter (Lord Snooty Farquar or something like that) from the 1922 committee being interviewed on the radio that stated that, and that it was Boris' idea!
Now that really would be the icing on the cake as they are no better than the already expelled Tories. Boris really is a ****wit
In fairness to them DT, the whole thing is a complete farce. I can fully understand that people are pissed off. The majority are not getting what they voted for and the can keeps getting kicked down the road. I think it looks like 95% a no deal at this stage. Even if it is a no deal, where is all this going to end? How will the UK recover politically? So many questions, very few answers. I think a general election would be a start in bringing everybody back together again.
So the government has abandoned plans to block the Benn bill in the Lords and has effectively accepted that it will become law. Presumably this is designed to call Corbyn out on his statement that he would agree to a GE once the bill had become law, with a view to winning the election and repealing the law before 31st October. Corbyn and other opposition parties should delay the GE until after 31st October, forcing Johnson to try actually try to get a deal with the EU.
They cannot trust Boris a millemeter. The opposition shouldn't agree to any general election until after 31 October, and when Article 50 is extended for a few months, or better still revoked.
Won't happen though, will it? The opposition parties may act to push matters beyond 31 October, which pushes the leave date to the end of January but then they'll have to agree a GE thereafter or damage themselves in the polls. This is a Remain parliament and both sides are behaving increasingly badly. We need a GE badly now
Venezuela's had one of those, Stainsey, and there's a lot of pain. But I agree there needs to be a big shakeup in how we exercise our democracy, and perhaps we're seeing the start of it
Don't bet against it. The more the opposition parties procrastinate over a GE, the more the electorate get frustrated with them
Nah we won’t (wishful thinking on my part). Too many blind sheep, led by their new found love for the EU, who gleefully bleet away while the ones up top get richer and richer......the revolution is over.....the status quo has won.....it was a false dawn. As Johnny once said ‘ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated ?’
