the tories haven't purged all their wets
14 wouldn't be enough
Most of the vocal ones
he would get more if he entered into a pact with Farage/went for no deal
The others voted with the Government on the bill
They could do it again
of course, we got a act that states that 2/3's of parliament has to consent to being dissolved.
And that isn't going to happen anytime soon
Corbyn has promised to support one after Oct 31st
Fixed term parliament act needs to eithe rgo, or be modified
I imagine it sounded better at the time but it has pretty much caused a political impasse
if there is no confidence then there will be a caretaker PM
Corbyn wants to be that caretaker PM
That would be a dark day for Britain
it needs to be modified to remove the 2/3 majority requirement if the sitting government does not have a majority
and he will do lots of damage in the 14 days
it will be ken clarke or harmen
almost as bad as Corbyn
He could use the whip if his majority is narrow
it would then keep the intention of preventing governments abusing election timing for partisan gain, while preventing an opposition using it to prevent an election when the government is non-funcitoning due to a minority position
He has a majority of like -40
Yes, we know
The opposition are literally holding him prisoner at this point
At this point an election is inevitable the opposition cannot be allowed to operate as the government
It turns the entire parliamentary system on its head
"Cannot be allowed" - who is going to stop them?
they could go on with this madness for another 2.5 years.. till May 2022
Yup
Potentially
just wish the Queen would dissolve Parliament and be done with those traitors
You might have seen Charles do something like that, but the queen is 93yrs old, she doesn't want to be involved
still can't believe the Supreme Court could find the prorogation unlawful
it's Clown World ²
Labour know they'd lose an election
yet they claim they should be a caretaker gov
that vote they held at the party conf to not make Remain their official position sunk them
no, not really
they'll remain a threat
Only in their safe seats like Abbot's and Phillips'
they have tons of safe seats
Not enough to form a government
