O/T:- Who needs Parliament?

[bridpie78]

The general election will tell us if the country agrees with his enemies in parliament.

Exactly, the Labour party have signed their own death warrant, they will be destroyed in the upcoming GE.

Yep, let that blond bag of cat sick stew in his own juice. Over reached with the suspension of parliament, and united everyone who hates him.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he started pleading for another referendum.

Not taking sides or owt but just to mention that no new elected Parl is bound by laws that a previous one one put in place. If a new Gov gets a healthy majority, laws, if they wish them to can soon be overturned. As others have said, there may well be quite a few twists and turns before this is over.

It will be very interesting, I think unfortunately the Lib Dems will benefit from disgruntled Tory and Labour voters.

Yep, and also the extension bill that hasnt even passed yet(running out of time!!) its not even a given it only takes one phone call to a symapthetic EU member and that gets blown out of the water anyway, all 27 member states have to vote unanimously to pass any extension, which they won't.

Remoaners getting all excited and wetting their knickers about last night! its a chess game it has been since Boris prorogued and the next 4 moves are already played out.

The Brexit party will work with Boris and contest any Libdem areas where tories cannot win

I did notice right at the beginning of the debate yesterday, that Bercow said that he had taken advice and this bill did not require the Queens consent. I found that very interesting.

I wish I had your way with words, I bet the public toilet walls around your home town, are a literary masterpiece

I know this is tongue in cheek (!!) but I do sometimes wonder why working class folks in the Midlands are happy being ruled from Westminster by Old Etonian Tory boys but throw their hands up in horror at the thought of people like Tusk who spent his life battling communists in Poland to bring democracy. To me one is a hero and the others are self serving scum but each to their own.

Nothing is ever that simple. Look at the state of Poland now.

In answer to your question about who strong socialists who support Brexit vote for, Boris or Corbyn, again, it's not that easy. We don't really vote for Corbyn, just a rabble of mostly Blairite careerist MPs who happen to be Labour, and we can see how easily leopards can change their spots by a far right Tory crossing the floor to the LibDems (who are just as bad anyway under Swinson). If I get the choice, it would have to be Corbyn, and Coaker, who is a decent constituency MP. The wider political choice easily trumps the Brexit one for me.

As a Labour Brexit voter, I was asked the question, Leave or Remain, by a clueless fat chump who only got elected by offering this choice then ran away after the result was announced. Being on the winning side, I expected my choice to be implemented. Right now, after 3 years of what would be the worst governments in history if Cameron hadn't already bagged that award, I am past caring. Whatever, do what you want.

The arguing, not Brexit itself, has done so much damage to the economy, if someone offered me the choice right now, I would pick Remain. Because what we'll get is the worst of both worlds, getting no say and paying for the privilege. And the bonus of a Remain result on a second referendum, even though I have never asked for one, would be seeing the Tory Party implode.

I think Bercow thinks he outranks her

So now Boris has said he would "rather be dead in a ditch" than delay Brexit.

Someone not as politically correct as myself might describe that as a win/win situation.
