Fixed term parliament act needs to eithe rgo, or be modified

2019-09-24 22:20:58 UTC  

I imagine it sounded better at the time but it has pretty much caused a political impasse

2019-09-24 22:21:13 UTC  

if there is no confidence then there will be a caretaker PM

2019-09-24 22:21:32 UTC  

Corbyn wants to be that caretaker PM

2019-09-24 22:21:50 UTC  

That would be a dark day for Britain

2019-09-24 22:21:53 UTC  

it needs to be modified to remove the 2/3 majority requirement if the sitting government does not have a majority

2019-09-24 22:21:53 UTC  

and he will do lots of damage in the 14 days

2019-09-24 22:21:58 UTC  

it will be ken clarke or harmen

2019-09-24 22:22:06 UTC  

almost as bad as Corbyn

2019-09-24 22:22:30 UTC  

He could use the whip if his majority is narrow

2019-09-24 22:22:31 UTC  

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

2019-09-24 22:22:45 UTC  

He has a majority of like -40

2019-09-24 22:23:07 UTC  

He can't pass anything without substantial numbers of opposition MP's supporting it

2019-09-24 22:23:14 UTC  

Yes, we know

2019-09-24 22:27:11 UTC  

The opposition are literally holding him prisoner at this point

2019-09-24 22:33:33 UTC  

At this point an election is inevitable the opposition cannot be allowed to operate as the government

2019-09-24 22:34:09 UTC  

It turns the entire parliamentary system on its head

2019-09-24 22:37:17 UTC  

"Cannot be allowed" - who is going to stop them?

2019-09-24 22:41:58 UTC  

they could go on with this madness for another 2.5 years.. till May 2022

2019-09-24 22:42:03 UTC  

Yup

2019-09-24 22:42:05 UTC  

Potentially

2019-09-24 22:42:31 UTC  

just wish the Queen would dissolve Parliament and be done with those traitors

2019-09-24 22:43:03 UTC  

You might have seen Charles do something like that, but the queen is 93yrs old, she doesn't want to be involved

2019-09-24 22:43:52 UTC  

still can't believe the Supreme Court could find the prorogation unlawful

2019-09-24 22:44:01 UTC  

it's Clown World ²

2019-09-24 22:44:46 UTC  

Labour know they'd lose an election

2019-09-24 22:45:01 UTC  

yet they claim they should be a caretaker gov

2019-09-24 22:45:45 UTC  

that vote they held at the party conf to not make Remain their official position sunk them

2019-09-24 22:46:54 UTC  

no, not really

2019-09-24 22:47:02 UTC  

they'll remain a threat

2019-09-24 22:47:49 UTC  

Only in their safe seats like Abbot's and Phillips'

2019-09-24 22:49:08 UTC  

they have tons of safe seats

2019-09-24 22:58:12 UTC  

Not enough to form a government

2019-09-24 22:58:25 UTC  

They're no electoral threat

2019-09-24 22:58:56 UTC  

In conjunction with lib dems and snp they are

2019-09-24 23:09:01 UTC  

am I allowed to laugh at something very very serious 😛 https://twitter.com/Imamofpeace/status/1176395874257141760?s=20

2019-09-24 23:11:37 UTC  

Can't fine him - they went to him willingly

2019-09-24 23:12:45 UTC

2019-09-24 23:12:56 UTC
