Election Year or Fear!

Fun question as I know it won't happen, but another mare for labour today with one more MP suspended for encouraging people to slit the throats of the far right protesters and another likely to be hauled over the coals for historical tweets which have an element of racism.

If they continue suspending MPs at the rate they have the majority could be gone by Christmas ( i knowit won't). Let's just say they do and we end up with more independents than any one party, do independents form a majority government with say Corbyn as PM?

OK I know it's not going to happen but what would happen if enough MPs are suspended or defects mid term meaning the majority swings away from the party in power?

Would it mean a forced GE or like I've said could the party with the majority form a government.

This isn't wishful thinking btw, it's something I wondered when the Tory mps started defecting.

Not Starmer's call. It's down to the DPP.

Stop talking sense, MA…posts 1138-1139 have just made me think all reasonable debate has finished…but just to back you up… YouGov, yes I know Tricky, just left wing layabouts , have done a poll revealing that just 8% of those polled believe the rioters have any sort of point.
Let me say that again in case you missed it…just 8%!!! That means 92% don’t.
The same question put to Reform UK voters only revealed 21% support so it would seem your theory that the voice (and thuggery) of the far Right is some sort of reawakened growl across the UK and Europe is utterly delusional.

Oh really RA.
FARAGE HIMSELF SAYS VIOLENCE IS NOT TO BE TOLERATED , SO STOP TELLING LIES.

Whilst you are clearly going to go the party finger pointing, I now understand your jellyfish attitude to immigration pre election.
This is the latest YOUGOV poll on it. IT IS NOW THE HOT TOPIC #1
Surprise surprise, only Labour voters don't think it is. But I suppose they are Blairs children I suppose.

Here's a bit more for you, not that you'll believe it. You never do.

I think you’ve deliberately misrepresented the outcome of that report, but nice try in any event

It’s possible I’ve misinterpreted it - something someone sent me from home - but it certainly wasn’t either deliberate or misrepresentation.

He put the slant on it to support his own bias.

To reiterate, Farage and many others have condemned the violence.
Those taking part are just the tip of the iceberg of a problem, that no one wants to see.
RA doesn't want to talk about it/ acknowledge it. But the elephant in the room is real

When the BLM riots went on. Was the attacks/arson/damages/ police hurt indicative of the whole movement? No, it wasn't.
But many felt they had to shout out and many still showed support despite the violence. Even the police were soft on it, until it all got out of hand (think sith forgets this)

So my point is, why are these riots being used to silence any that also think they deserve to be heard?
Perhaps a ballot on immgration is long overdue. Seeing as we have jumped from 10's of thousands, to hundreds of thousands?
The rioting may stop, but the causes haven't gone away.

BTW Ra,you seem to have an image of what far right actually is. In your head it is white related. Yu need to open your eyes more, it goes across the board.

Never let it be said, I'm not charitable or unsympathetic in these dark times.

**TROUBLE IN DERBY- Please help, give generously
The trouble flared after locals mistook the Mecca bingo as a new asylum centre and began rioting, after several hours the police brought the troubles under control, early estimates put the damage at around £30.
One resident - Sharon Jones, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "it was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes come running into my bedroom crying.
My youngest two,
Tyler-Sparkle and
Pixie-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Lorraine the next morning".
Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of White Lightning to the stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.
Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:
Baseball caps;
Full matching tracksuits;
Nike trainers;
Onesies;
UGG Boots and any other items usually sold in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Microwave meals,
Pot Noodles, Tins of baked beans, ice cream, Cans of Strong Bow or Special Brew and of course pies, pasties or sausage rolls from Greggs.
12p buys a biro for filling in compensation forms.
£5 buys cheesy chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.

You and me both, Sith. Perhaps he’s had too many of those blue fizzy drinks.
