    So what is your point. He wants a GE so he can run the country without being stopped at ever turn.

    Corbyn getting slated

    Corbyn: "We have now heard from the EU that the extension of Article 50 to 31st January has been confirmed, so for the next three months, our condition of taking No Deal off the table has now been met...."

    [scratches head]. This is true. But it was also true at the time of the vote yesterday evening and also at the time of Jeremy Corbyn's Commons speech.

    Labour know they won’t win an election but it will be a good way to get rid of that dithering idiot Corbyn. They are sharpening the knives as I type.

    Yep, you'll have Rebecca Wrong-Daily, the school-swot lookalike who clearly wasn't a school swot. I wonder who'll be pulling her strings...

    You have been listening to Lord Donis.
    What should we do then, revoke? I know the fanatics want that but I think that idea has just died. Boris will win the next election and Brexit will be sorted. He may even change the deal, we don’t know but once he has the majority he will be able to govern.
    From your post I can see you are anti-Brexit, anti-Tory and anti-Trump. This is fine. I really don’t care what people think or who they vote for but respecting a result is paramount.
    You say in one breath that we don’t know what will happen then you create a doom scenario? You don’t know how things will pan out but one thing is evident is that the EU is in trouble and isn’t working.

    My point is he’s backed himself into a corner where he needs a GE. If somehow enough of us are mug enough to back him into a majority then so be it and we’ll deserve what they inflict upon us but he and his party deserve to suffer for their party over country decisions which have got us here over the last four years.

    It’s been a long 3 years and I am getting desperate for nice looking MPs. It’s not been the same since May left the front bench. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Not trying to create a doom scenario Ellers - it is important that we get down to discussing ideas of how a post Brexit Britain could develop, because the next electoral term will be, mostly, a post Brexit one. You cannot deny that the Tory party has been subject to entryism in recent years and has shifted much further to the right as a result - even Thatcher would have baulked at the idea of so many moderates leaving the fold.

    I don’t think he has backed himself into a corner. I think Cummins and Co knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the maths in Parliament.
    On another note you should always respect people’s vote and who they vote for. Calling them mugs is unfair. I have a fab MP here so why am I a mug for voting for him?

    So you agree.

    This is about personal vanity and persona political aspirations right across the spectrum. Yes I’m cynical, but I doubt many politicians these days are in it primarily for public service, particularly those that have never really had a proper job. Whatever the issues - Brexit or other - this is about what gives each party the best chance of winning or retaining power.

    What does Remain mean. Let’s have a long drawn out debate about what sort of EU would make a significant majority of the British people happy. Not.

    Maybe Boris changed his mind about dying in a ditch? Is that allowed? :)

    They don’t know what Remain means! You ask remainers simple questions about the EU and they don’t know.
