Watch, they will find a way to make it political. They always do.

2019-09-02 21:03:06 UTC  

Wooo go Boris!!

2019-09-02 21:05:35 UTC  

He insinuated it

2019-09-02 21:05:44 UTC  

Not sure if he'd be able to even call one.

2019-09-02 21:05:54 UTC  

2/3 majority of MPs need to agree to call one

2019-09-02 21:30:11 UTC  

fixed term parliament act at this point is destroying the country

2019-09-02 21:32:49 UTC  

Kinda agree.

2019-09-02 21:34:09 UTC  

What happens if the vote passes and boris refuses?

2019-09-02 21:34:39 UTC  

I would like to see the queen veto it like she did for Blair

2019-09-02 21:38:04 UTC  

So, Boris could call another election, OR Labour could call a vote of no confidence. Both require a 2 / 3 MP majority to do

2019-09-02 21:38:24 UTC  

Labour don't want either

2019-09-02 21:38:35 UTC  

Not sure what Labour wants to do tbh..

2019-09-02 21:38:48 UTC  

Not sure of the arithmetic or where the others stand

2019-09-02 21:38:49 UTC  

They're going to throw their weight behind this anti-no deal legislation

2019-09-02 21:39:11 UTC  

I *think* they'll get shagged if it actually goes to an election

2019-09-02 21:39:21 UTC  

Boris is on a tight rope RN tbh

2019-09-02 21:39:33 UTC  

That's i don't think he's got the 2/3 needed for an election

2019-09-02 21:39:49 UTC  

He'd need 434 votes for it

2019-09-02 21:40:01 UTC  

Tories alone don't have it sadly

2019-09-02 21:40:11 UTC  

If they had it, we wouldn't be in this mess

2019-09-02 21:40:19 UTC  

Hmm, possibly.

2019-09-02 21:40:26 UTC  

The Tory rebel group could just be larger tbh.

2019-09-02 21:40:36 UTC  

Not sure what the internals of the Labour party look like.

2019-09-02 21:40:43 UTC  

How unified they are.

2019-09-02 21:40:44 UTC  

Certainly he needs to make good on his purge threat

2019-09-02 21:41:14 UTC  

Maybe.

2019-09-02 21:41:20 UTC  

Remainer Tories are essentially holding the country to ransom at this point

2019-09-02 21:41:43 UTC  

More or less tbh.

2019-09-02 21:42:00 UTC  

The remainers DO need to be purged, BUT not too many

2019-09-02 21:42:06 UTC  

Kill a couple careers, but not all of them.

2019-09-02 21:42:16 UTC  

There'll likely be only a half dozen or so that step out of line

2019-09-02 21:43:02 UTC  

Possibly. I'm not sure how many of those need to be purged either.

2019-09-02 21:43:08 UTC  

All of them

2019-09-02 21:43:17 UTC  

That's a mistake tbh

2019-09-02 21:43:32 UTC  

Then they're guaranteed to vote against the government out of spite

2019-09-02 21:43:42 UTC  

They can't

2019-09-02 21:43:43 UTC  

If you purge a few to show you mean business, then they may fall in line.

2019-09-02 21:44:01 UTC  

The purge would be a response to them voting against the government, not prior to

2019-09-02 21:44:19 UTC  

Not sure about that tbh.

2019-09-02 21:44:20 UTC  

You can't operate a government with a fifth column within your party
