@Hopix "Downing Street are saying that it’s not for the lords to fight this bill. They told the Lords to stand down as in their view the House of Commons has to take responsibility for their “surrender bill”. Number 10 want elected MPs to have to explain to to the electorate their decision to delay Brexit." https://order-order.com/2019/09/05/lords-surrender-boris-concedes-commons-bill/
guess that as official as you get, though one could ring up the number 10 press office
bojo is donezo
lmao
when does prorogation begin?
i think i heard in the commons that it could be selected for the end of monday, tues or wed
commons live stream was quite a few hours ago
The fuck... So now Boris wants to rush to bill through, and delay prorogation - the guy loves his 4D chess
dont forget the may deal amendment was not opposed, the tellers for no did not show even tho the no room for voting was packed
he gonna bring another vote for elections on monday
doubt it will pass
labor will likely move the goal post they set out yesterday i beleve
and after that he gets trapped by his own prorogation shenanegans
allot can happen in that time
labor mp's were asked to vote no but most abstained, they are not following corbyn blindly
the GE vote was only 1 short of winning
the ge vote needs 2/3rds of the parliament to pass
yes it does and it was 1 vote short of 2/3
i was watching, someone even shouted out in parliment when it was delivered
interesting
it was a moral victory for the PM
they really are a cluster of fuckmongles
it needs atleast 429 votes
they got 298 iirc
this is entirely accurate and needs more coverage
if all were voting, but many abstained
did they not i recall it being called out
If the Government does not have the confidence of the commons then either some other group needs to prove they are capable of a majority
Which no one can
Or a general election happens
But because of the fixed term Parliament act... NOPE, lets just throw 400 years of Parliamentary practice out of a fucking window
yup
it was introduced in the coalition gov was it not?
one of those seemed like a good idea at the time jobs
"Jacob Rees-Mogg has announced the Government will table a new election motion on Monday evening. After the anti-No Deal bill is set to become law…
This would satisfy Labour’s conditions for voting for an election. Will they keep their word..?"
I was reeing against that piece of wank, at the time, as it would introduce super majority voting to the commons, for which there is no precedent in the UK
And it doesn't really matter if the brexit bill is passed into law
A new Parliament can just immediately repeal that law
