Raskolnikov38 posted:ukip is pretty much dead right? who might leavers defect to if the tories back down UKIP are dead but Boris and Farage have been caught out in a pub together in the last fortnight. So I'd imagine it'd be New UKIP But Without Racists Like Carl of Swindon and Count Dankula. They'd instantly be the third largest party in the HoC, and have a populist platform to stand on at the inevitable general election that followed a Tory split. There'd be a lot of egos, but these people are true believers when it comes to leaving the EU despite it being genuinely mental.

Oh. Another question: Is there any order in the speaking here? It seems everryone jumps up at the same time and the Speaker just picks willy nilly.

The Speaker can pick whomever rises to show they want to ask something but generally it'll be one from the opposition bench then one from the government bench and back again. And he likes to pick speakers who don't just turn up for big occasions but are very active in the house.

I am progressively not seeing any way out of this for Britain outside of a giant "nevermind" I also find it annoying that people like Farage and Cameron can be the ones who got the UK into this mess and then not even have to deal with it
