If he wins then Parliament has what 4 days of sitting before the Christmas vacation, and won´t be back until around 7th January, because unlike the rest of the country they go "Spanish" and will have the week off that includes la fiesta de los reyes, better known in the UK as the Epiphany.
No chance of Johnson delaying this until after the election, I hope. Any idea how long it would take to process the court case and make a decision? I am hoping that if the Brexit vote is deemed null and void, it won’t be possible for Buffoon to trigger the end, before the case has been decided.
Farage has probably made things a bit harder for Pfeffel to win a majority. Labour held marginals will have the Leave vote split.
Having adopted Brexit as one of their leading policies, it is surely deceitful for the present Conservative party to continue trading as such since they have long ceased to act like a Conservative party should? One that focuses on business growth, one that cooperates with our EU partners, one that would continue UK membership of the EU. That is being a true Conservative a la Heseltine, Major, Clarke, Mellor, Edwina Curry, Chris Patten.
Still plenty of time for things to go wrong for Johnson. I wish Labour would step up their act but it is still early days. So far Johnson has a very easy ride yet it will be fascinating how we deals with a live TV debate with Corbyn. Corbyn is in his element as a campaigner and I think is reasoned judgements will put Boris to the sword.
I would hope that with Johnson’s record in the courts any attempt to delay the case would meet with short shrift.
I hope Johnson’s microphone is switched off when JC is speaking because he will constantly interrupt in an attempt to stop JC getting his points across.
A comment heard in Hartlepool, about Farage. “He’s like a footballer who doesn’t have a set position, just runs around doing mad sh1t”.
More on Brexit from the excellent Professor Michael Dougan, of whom we have seen a lot on this thread. This is from last Friday:
Meanwhile in Spain, Ciudadanos went from 57 seats down to 10 in Sunday,'s election. The big winners were Vox, Spain's equivalent of France's NF, imo very right wing and ultra nationalistic without quite being fascist. Couldn't happen in the UK as the Cons have scooped up that kind of vote by shifting to the right, could it?
A Lib Dem candidate has unilaterally decided to stand down in Canterbury to give the pro Remain Labour MP, with a small majority, a better chance of retaining the seat. Not yet known if Swinson will field a substitute. https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/to...-seat-1-6372488?utm_source=bestforbritain.org
