EU? or parliament?
I don't think Boris actually expects it to pass
In Our Parliament
Might pass in the EU parliament but even that is a stretch
the amount of average people that are sick of brexit now... theyd be mad not to vote for it
It depends on how desperate opposition MP's are for a deal
I don't think they are desperate enough to vote for the deal
Accepted or not it playing into BoJo's hands
If it passes
he got a deal
if it doesnt, he can say "No matter what we do parl don't want brexit/EU won't give us a deal"
and it plays into no deal
Its win win for Bojo tbh
It's possible but any extension even if he is forced to do it will damage his credibility
And unless he has a masterstroke up his sleeve if the deal doesn't pass he is going to have to extend
if they vote down his deal, he will claim the surrender act is ... whatever that legislation he was rumoured to possibly try...
The lack of backpedaling, the language
and the way parl is scrambling right now
I know, I do hope he has found a way around it
make me think there is an ace up his sleeve
and parl know it
what was it called?
The Benn Bill?
The surrender act?
***JO COX***
no no ... the thing that he would use to get rid of it
He has a few possible options for that
it was something thats supposed to be used in times of war or something... but if a bill puts the national interests at risk he can yeet it
A few things
emergency declaration
Civil Contingencies Act
Order of Council
YEETing it using the SC's own judgement
a few things
The Problem is both of them would probably be stopped by Parliament or the courts somehow
Or of course
a yet unannounced method
It was a bill sent through parl in a few days don't forget
Mistakes happen when you rush
the supreme court can make things up as it goes along now, so thats how theyd stop him
