independent and in the EU. did not the EU say that wants to take away the independence of it member states <:what:382980756139409409>
hmm... chatter indicates several MP's not happy with how democracy will look if Yvette Cooper's motion is passed - so there might be some change sides or abstain.
...it will be close - result should be within the next hour.
Let's see who's who <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
Labour issued three-line whip to support it, but Corbyn never obeyed the whips himself, so MP's with conscience probably won't fall in line.
Tory Brexiters are supporting Theresa May tonight, because the best chance is to buy some time at the moment.
the one thing May don't have is time
yes, but it ticks down the clock to deadline, when no-deal Brexit will happen by default if Theresa May cannot get EU to change deal in time (virtually mission impossible)
- The vote tonight could screw that all up if it wins (the Yvette Cooper one in particular)
Hard to swallow pills: The no-deal deadline is meaningless
no u
it's only meaningless if it gets changed
Labour issued an order that Corbyn didn't follow? He needs to close ranks on his own party if he can't control it.
he has surounded himself with people who are literally socialists.
Corbyn is literally the Labour MP that rebelled the most against instruction
Who is the real leader of Labour then?
well, Corbyn is residing over the current joke of an opposition, but the "respectable" Labour MP's are all Blairites.
Whose most likely to be leader if Corbyn wasn't there?
or at least the big names.
Yvette Cooper is a Blairite... if her bill passes tonight, it will take no-deal off the table and put a delay on deadline - but that would also be relying on EU agreeing to extend deadline date.
- if it passes, she will become a favourite to replace Corbyn, assuming the commie cabal don't stop a Blairite taking control... Corbyn lost a no-confidence vote a while back and never stood down, so he's planning on clinging on for as long as he can.
YVETTE COOPER BILL JUST BEEN DEFEATED
So... no deal Brexit?
no extension would be a victory
YES - BILL DESIGNED TO SUBVERT BREXIT JUST LOST

we're not quite there yet, but this is a massive win
its habbedig
there are still a couple of other bills being voted on that could still screw things up, but that was the big one remoaners were hoping on
`An article has recently made the rounds on the Chinese internet, whereby it estimates that there are 48.9 million Chinese Communist Party secretaries—a position equivalent to a Party boss—in the entire country.
According to a June 2018 article by state-run media Xinhua, there are a total of 89.56 [million] Party members in total. That means over half of the cadres are Party bosses.
By a conservative average of an annual salary of 50,000 yuan (about $7400)—a typical sum for a Chinese citizen with a comfortable standard of living—that means the total salary payments to Party secretaries alone would equal 2.4 trillion yuan (roughly $353 billion). `
China is corrupt? who'd have thunk
and they are running in to the age old problem with communism. at one point you run out of other peoples money
An amendment just won a vote that prevents a no-deal Brexit, but it isn't legally binding.
(it indicates the mood of Parliament)
Why do you think they want taiwan? The 5 or 6 'Special economic zones' arn't enough, Taiwan set up as one would help support their balloon economy for a while longer.
you cant make a deal if the EU don't want to play ball regardless of what tamer tantrum you are pulling off
It's not us, it's them
