tbh if it passes its fine by me

2019-10-17 19:06:51 UTC  

There's a couple of outcomes coming up in my head

2019-10-17 19:07:04 UTC  

Well we seem to have a minor Brexit civil war starting about if this deal if acceptable to the Brexit side

2019-10-17 19:07:26 UTC  

Plan is passed with the help of a dozen or more Labour rebels/independents. Boris does well in polls, Corbyn forced to resign

2019-10-17 19:07:57 UTC  

or Plan is voted down, No deal Brexit ensues on the strength of the EU rejecting an extension

2019-10-17 19:08:03 UTC  

All hell breaks loose

2019-10-17 19:08:24 UTC  

meh, it wont be that bad

2019-10-17 19:08:30 UTC  

just not great either

2019-10-17 19:08:33 UTC  

*You want ANOTHER extension?*

2019-10-17 19:08:35 UTC  

for a while

2019-10-17 19:08:35 UTC  

That is Ian Blackford throwing Labour under the bus knowing it's a no-risk strategy for him

2019-10-17 19:08:49 UTC  

It seems like the vote is going to be very close

2019-10-17 19:08:52 UTC  

I think we'll be given an extension if this deal fails

2019-10-17 19:09:13 UTC  

I think so too

2019-10-17 19:09:13 UTC  

I think that's wack, Lizard

2019-10-17 19:09:35 UTC  

Lib Dems will be unanimous, some tory independents will vote against, labour rebels will be higher

2019-10-17 19:09:42 UTC  

I think Boris should strike a deal with the SNP, to support a second independence referendum in exchange for them backing his deal

2019-10-17 19:09:55 UTC  

Fuck that

2019-10-17 19:10:05 UTC  

It would be acceptable

2019-10-17 19:10:19 UTC  

Besides they would likely vote to stay in the UK anyway

2019-10-17 19:10:27 UTC  

It would be bad right now

2019-10-17 19:10:32 UTC  

After Brexit

2019-10-17 19:10:38 UTC  

Unless they mandated a 4 year delay on the vote

2019-10-17 19:11:02 UTC  

And then made brexit work and work well

2019-10-17 19:11:10 UTC  

He agrees to hold an independence referendum in a year or so in exchange for them backing his deal

2019-10-17 19:11:19 UTC  

It would likely get his deal passed

2019-10-17 19:11:26 UTC  

At the cost of the union

2019-10-17 19:11:39 UTC  

Assuming they vote to Leave

2019-10-17 19:11:44 UTC  

I don't think they would

2019-10-17 19:11:51 UTC  

@The Electric Lizard I'd be down for that

2019-10-17 19:11:51 UTC  

At the moment it's touch and go

2019-10-17 19:12:11 UTC  

THe reason I said a delay would be helpful is that it gives Boris a chance to put the country right before they voted

2019-10-17 19:12:30 UTC  

Thus giving him a chance to undo the damage to the vote that has been caused by the brexit debacle

2019-10-17 19:13:14 UTC  

I am going to predict it now, He will pass the deal

2019-10-17 19:13:26 UTC  

Well he would say that, he's high up in the media pecking order

2019-10-17 19:14:30 UTC  

Since I haven't really looked into it at all... how good/bad is BJ's deal?
