Yeah, which is one of the reasons it would be a massive gamble for the Tories to proceed in the way that has been rumoured. I think it would cost them seats - maybe not many, but it's not as if they can afford to lose any.Quote:

:agree: Yet Corbyn is all for a GE. He will lose, there will be a No Deal Brexit and his hope of destroying capitalism will be advanced in some small way - is that the long game he is playing so brilliantly? :dunno:Quote:

A GE will be a disaster for those who don't want no deal or want another referendum. there's no way Corbyn wins an election. if fact he'll get trounced.
however it may be the best thing for the Labour party in that surely if they can canned he can't continue and they'll have to put someone with a backbone in charge. cooper would be the obvious shout.
it's a bloody mess all over the place.

The pressure will be on Lab+Lib+Green+SNP to do likewise but I think they might well blow it. We shall see.Quote:

A source says draft legal text is just the existing protocol with the relevant articles on the backstop crossed out - not exactly a worked up plan
:faf: :fibber:
Statement at 6. Final throw of the dice before announcing a GE?
The Rebel bill has been published. It would make Johnson have to ask for a 3 month extension to end Jan 2020 if he hasn't got a deal by end Oct.
Bojo promising money for everyone
Magic money tree does exist again it appears
Its great that throughout this speech you can hear clearly STOP THE COUP chanting over and over

Saying he doesn't want an election
Basically saying, pleading with MPs to vote with Govt tomorrow
Pointless really

I am actually more confident about a left coalition than I was a day or two ago but I am no expert and there will be much complexity and nuance to sort anything out.Quote:

If Jeremy isn’t willing to do the right thing then god help us. There is a potential for coalition and it could be Yvette Cooper or Jo Swinson, and my god, it would be a million times better than Johnson or Corbyn.
Cooper as Labour leader would deliver a 100 seat majority.Quote:

If there was an election tomorrow (or IN October) I'd struggle to know who to vote for. I voted Labour last time out in the general election but given their utterly hopeless non position in Brexit I don't think I could do so again. I think I'd go with my gut and give my vote back to the SNP.
In Scotland, the SNP is the most remain way to vote.

If Boris Johnson tried to get a vote for a general election through parliament after parliament vote for the 3 month extension, would it not make sense to vote it down. Thus forcing the extension. I know that he would try to refuse to implement the extension but the EU would then know what they are dealing with.
Absolutely it would make sense. Labour would be mad to take the bait and allow Johnson to dictate the timing of an election at a time they are behind in the polls. Corbyn doesn’t strike me as being that smart though.Quote:
