And that's not what is being proposed, stop over simplifying to score cheap points. We are talking EU nationals with settled status i.e people who are making their lives and futures here and who are contributing just as much as any of us.
So are you now saying that EU nationals that have been here 4 months cant vote? Is it only for as you say i.e people who are making their lives and futures here and who are contributing just as much as any of us?
 
Stroller it won't get through.
1. Lindsey has to choose the amendments. Normally under parlimentary stuff a simple bill wouldn't have such detailed amendments. It takes months of debate. All commentators say he won't choose them. Especially as he loves the ERG. :emoticon-0100-smile ( that is a joke).
2. if he does then the house votes on it and its not guaranteed to pass.
3. If it does pass the Tories will pull it.

Just to clarify... if the speakers assistant doesn't choose the amendments it still has to go to the Lords (like the election) and they can overturn it. If they don't, then there is always the courts. :emoticon-0104-surpr:emoticon-0104-surpr:emoticon-0104-surpr
As for the date. Elections are normally held on the Thursday and not a Monday so why change? once again its for oppertunist reasons.
 
Breaking: Boris is returning the whip to the 10 tories sacked. This is for them to vote for election.
vote must be tight.

Likely to be a big row about letting EU citizens vote, which might even scupper election vote tonight - worth knowing there are no other EU countries that give all EU citizens right to vote in general elections (exceptions for some Commonwealth citizens and Irish nationals)
