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
corbyn did not even show for the result
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
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
pretty sure corbyn will only give in to elections only if an extension is agreed with EU too
An extension which a new Parliament could simply dishonour
if they make bojo go to EU and ask for an extention
he is donezo in a ge
But yes, that short term goal would prevent Boris taking us out of the EU, before 2020 using an election as the delivery mechanism
Technically, Boris cannot be forced to go to the EU by Parliament
then its a vote of no confidence and a caretaker gov
that will do it
That would
But they'd need to agree to that
Which Parliament won't <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
it's ridiculous
when it comes to stopping hard brexit your parliament seems unified tbh
Current Parliament
