Off Topic The Politics Thread

Good enough reason for me. Now we just need one more 'peaceful' demonstration to convince enough decent but wavering republicans to vote for it. That is not a given because American politicians lack principle as much as any other nationality and will vote against it because............................ Can anyone actually think of a good reason why America should run the risk of a re-run in 4 years time.

 

Can they vote after release or are they not allowed to vote ever again

 

There has to be a two thirds majority to endorse this, no guarantee they'll get this through...

 

Fisheries minister did not read Brexit bill as she was busy at nativity!

 

There have been a lot of headlines this year that would be more at home in the Daily Mash than real life news.

See also people getting upset about ham sandwiches being confiscated as a direct result of something they’ve passionately demanded for years.

 

How embarrassing is that!!! Sadly not surprising, sure there will be a look over there comment incoming soon

 

Look over there! Look at what a Labour MP you’ve barely heard of said on a radio show I was listening to and am now relaying back to you vaguely accurately. LOOK.

 

Felons are permanently disenfranchised. There is a grass-roots movement to change that .

 

i'd be amazed if the Republicans don't want him impeached, either that or they'll have to have him run again in four years. If he runs as an independent he'd split their vote

 

Brexit going well isn't it.

I work with the MoD, specifically in their supply chain and this is having a genuine impact on our ability to get product to military units in the EU. Also importing product is now a nightmare, no one appears to know who is responsible for what.

I don't remember delays to vital military supplies being one of the benefits of Brexit.

 

It'll all be ok in 5 years though

 

Only realistic solution is to invade France.

 

Anyone want to take a wild guess how this will go?

 

We're only 2 weeks in! Surely even determined Remainers realise there'll be a period of adjustment after 40 odd years of EU membership?

 

Government is simply saying local authorities have to provide these meals and have been given a grant to do so

 

But if the Republicans succeed in barring him, it will enrage his supporters and they may rally behind his successor. Perhaps son of Trump...

 

I can’t see the republicans appointing Don jnr or Eric, after impeaching their dad? Neither are good public speakers either, they’ll have to choose wisely as there will almost certainly be a third party pop up with a populist choice in the guise of Trump senior that’ll split their vote

 

We could have asked for a grace period and given businesses months rather than days to know what sort of Brexit they were having to adapt to. The whole having our cake and eating it thing doesn’t work as well if we have to starve for a while to get our cake.

 

20 years and it will be good

 

We could always feast on the government guided food parcels
