The LibDems only have a firm issue on the EU until they can trade it for a 5p tax on something.

Pistol_Pete posted:Perhaps this will be the crisis that finally breaks our antiquated, adversarial two-party system? hi! interesting question. however once you read some more thinkpieces I think you will find that systems are never responsible for anything, and it is all the fault of individuals. Primarily Jeremy Corbyn. look at his stupid little face. No, once he goes we can all get back to normal.

Flayer posted:Most voters being Lab and Con is a symptom of FPTP, not the voters fault. The smaller parties also have a lot more leeway to decisively come down on an issue because they won't ever be in power and don't have to appeal to such a broad base - another issue with FPTP. Just to note this doesn't apply to the SNP, as they are in government in Scotland and, awkwardly, sort of consider that their main base. Next elections are 2022 and the Yes / No balance of that Parliament remains on a knife edge, should they try and just hold on through the madness until '22

The only thing that can beat a pike is a longer pike. Which is why we need to develop the strategic pike, a pike that can reach all the way to france and poke macron in the bum.

If parliament can take control of the situation away from Theresa May, there is probably a parliamentary majority for a Brexit softer than the current one. But this depends entirely on the Tory party being willing to give up what they currently have.

Partly as an arrow shield, and partly because it's a lot easier to hold a sixteen-foot sarissa mostly upright, if you're in a middle rank that can't reach the target. Guy in front of you dies, you take a step forward and bring it down. This is fantastic until you meet an enemy with technological innovations like 'flanking'

Does it matter what the Government allows MPs to vote on if Bercow can just tell them (the Government) to gently caress off and they'll vote on what he says they can? (genuine question, I may be overestimating the Speakers role in voting)

may's attempt at pinning this whole miserable process on parliament must be categorically refuted at every turn by anyone who's not a bug-eyed nationalist it is dangerously antidemocratic argumentation in a situation where parliament has actually done a pretty good job of voicing reasonable concerns

Tesseraction posted:oh number 10's in panic mode? nice of them to join us My read is that May's whole idea was to run all the way up to the deadline, with just no deal/her deal/revocation on offer. The pressure to crash out would force MPs to vote through her deal. And then the EU just... moved the deadline. And it's all gone to bits.

Probably, but the number of Ayes is going to differ and that'll reveal the ordering we should've discovered two loving years ago Wouldn't be surprised if some combo of CU/single market/FTA made it over the line mind you. I expect May's deal to be bottom of the pile, followed by no deal, followed by second ref.
