If the extension is vetoed, they call a vote of no confidence and oust Boris with a short-term government whose sole job will be to revoke article 50 and call and election

2019-10-10 18:44:42 UTC  

Maybe but there is legal issues with that afaik

2019-10-10 18:45:07 UTC  

If they can actually agree on anything

2019-10-10 18:45:10 UTC  

once again

2019-10-10 18:45:15 UTC  

Way too pessimistic

2019-10-10 18:45:18 UTC  

or optimistic

2019-10-10 18:45:20 UTC  

depending

2019-10-10 18:45:52 UTC  

Hate to say it but what Eccles said sounds damn fucking plausible lol

2019-10-10 18:46:08 UTC  

Not when you keep track of the situation

2019-10-10 18:46:14 UTC  

Of course it's plausible. It's also electoral suicide for Labour/Lib Dems, but it does fuck brexit up

2019-10-10 18:46:17 UTC  

Every other party cant agree on who they want

2019-10-10 18:46:23 UTC  

and they dont want to compromise

2019-10-10 18:46:35 UTC  

However lots of things are plausible

2019-10-10 18:46:39 UTC  

doesnt mean its probable

2019-10-10 18:47:04 UTC  

Doesn't matter

2019-10-10 18:47:15 UTC  

It would be so narrow that it doesn't matter who leads it

2019-10-10 18:47:20 UTC  

@Joshu if you pray to **BREXIT** long enough unicorns become real

2019-10-10 18:47:29 UTC  

🙏🏿

2019-10-10 18:47:42 UTC  

If extension is vetoed, then won't tories be on top in the polls? They'd get in with a majority

2019-10-10 18:47:57 UTC  

Beause we'd be on track to leave on the 31st still

2019-10-10 18:48:10 UTC  

But that's the point

2019-10-10 18:48:26 UTC  

Boris doesn't need to get us out by oct 31st on chicanery and things of dubious legal status

2019-10-10 18:48:27 UTC  

A GNU

2019-10-10 18:48:31 UTC  

need the tory rebels

2019-10-10 18:48:35 UTC  

JC doesnt get that for one

2019-10-10 18:48:36 UTC  

ALl he needs to do is get the extension and get the election

2019-10-10 18:48:41 UTC  

labour wont vote for anyone but JC

2019-10-10 18:48:52 UTC  

Then there is the other parties

2019-10-10 18:49:28 UTC  

So I doubt a VONC can work

2019-10-10 18:49:34 UTC  

If he forces the oppositions hands with chicanery, he's likely to lose his prime ministership AND brexit will be cancelled resetting the clock to 0 again, and we would be unlikely to get either a brexit pm to replace him, and certainly not someone with the election power of boris

2019-10-10 18:50:11 UTC  

SO while it's tempting for Boris to do something madladdish, it's imprudent

2019-10-10 18:50:18 UTC  

they would risk a GE by calling a VONC unless they can get actual support behind someone

2019-10-10 18:50:21 UTC  

Which they wont do

2019-10-10 18:50:51 UTC  

Doesn't matter, Joshu, if the sole purpose of the GNU is to cancel brexit/force an extension, then they'll do it

2019-10-10 18:50:56 UTC  

SInce they were going to allow a GE after anyway

2019-10-10 18:51:03 UTC  

Will will change my stance if a GNU actually gets labour

2019-10-10 18:51:07 UTC  

Until then

2019-10-10 18:51:17 UTC  

the evidence opposes you

2019-10-10 18:51:34 UTC  

So therefore i will not change my mind

2019-10-10 18:52:03 UTC  

It's a prediction on what would happen if Boris tried to force through a no deal in the face of the Benn act, Joshu, it's not a prediction of what's going to happen now

2019-10-10 18:52:13 UTC  

I think no deal will be come to, and he will go for an extension as demanded
