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

2019-09-05 19:23:31 UTC  

And it doesn't really matter if the brexit bill is passed into law

2019-09-05 19:23:44 UTC  

A new Parliament can just immediately repeal that law

2019-09-05 19:24:24 UTC  

pretty sure corbyn will only give in to elections only if an extension is agreed with EU too

2019-09-05 19:27:18 UTC  

An extension which a new Parliament could simply dishonour

2019-09-05 19:27:52 UTC  

if they make bojo go to EU and ask for an extention

2019-09-05 19:27:58 UTC  

he is donezo in a ge

2019-09-05 19:28:08 UTC  

But yes, that short term goal would prevent Boris taking us out of the EU, before 2020 using an election as the delivery mechanism

2019-09-05 19:28:39 UTC  

Technically, Boris cannot be forced to go to the EU by Parliament

2019-09-05 19:28:58 UTC  

then its a vote of no confidence and a caretaker gov

2019-09-05 19:29:03 UTC  

that will do it

2019-09-05 19:29:11 UTC  

That would

2019-09-05 19:29:17 UTC  

But they'd need to agree to that

2019-09-05 19:29:33 UTC  

Which Parliament won't <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-09-05 19:30:00 UTC  

it's ridiculous

2019-09-05 19:30:16 UTC  

when it comes to stopping hard brexit your parliament seems unified tbh

2019-09-05 19:30:32 UTC  

Current Parliament

2019-09-05 19:30:36 UTC  

labour+ libdems +snp could do it

2019-09-05 19:30:43 UTC  

If a GE was called No Deal would be quite popular

2019-09-05 19:31:02 UTC  

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.....

2019-09-05 19:31:05 UTC  

The Conservatives would purge the Remainers and would gain a majority

2019-09-05 19:31:25 UTC  

people can be dumb

2019-09-05 19:31:40 UTC  

thats why we elect representatives

2019-09-05 19:31:43 UTC  

to govern

2019-09-05 19:32:02 UTC  

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

2019-09-05 19:32:26 UTC  

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?

2019-09-05 19:32:34 UTC  

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

2019-09-05 19:32:40 UTC  

>people are dumb
>people can be dumb

2019-09-05 19:32:47 UTC  

which one i used again

2019-09-05 19:33:31 UTC  

ooooof

2019-09-05 19:33:33 UTC  

silence

2019-09-05 19:34:31 UTC  

what, you actually think thats an argument? ok let me rephrase. if people can be dumb it follows that they can elect people who don't know what they're doing

2019-09-05 19:34:47 UTC  

ye clearly

2019-09-05 19:34:50 UTC  

which they do, looking at the evidence

2019-09-05 19:35:01 UTC  

if bojo got elected to get in

2019-09-05 19:35:14 UTC  

people that voted for him could be dumb

2019-09-05 19:35:43 UTC  

the thing the other MPs are trying to fix a situation that bojo and farage created

2019-09-05 19:35:59 UTC  

by lying to the people about brexit in 2016

2019-09-05 19:36:17 UTC  

no, they're trying to deny a democratic directive from the people that they don't like, having promised to respect it

2019-09-05 19:37:04 UTC  

they voted again in 2017 tho

2019-09-05 19:37:15 UTC  

the final nail in the coffin of the joke that is parliament, is bleating for an election for a full year and then refusing to allow it
