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

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

labour+ libdems +snp could do it

If a GE was called No Deal would be quite popular

it's a good thing that the opinions of a portion of 600 people are so much more important than the millions who voted them in. oh wait.....

The Conservatives would purge the Remainers and would gain a majority

people can be dumb

thats why we elect representatives

to govern

if the people are dumb it follows that they elected people who dont know what theyre doing anyway, that point is null & void

And what if they don't want to govern so they just give away out rights to a different entity and force people to go along with it despite people not wanting to?

you used the key word there 'representative' - thats the part they arent doing.

>people are dumb
>people can be dumb

which one i used again

ooooof

silence
