How can an MP only have 8k followers

My former MP, the DUP's Jim Shannon, has just over 2000.

He was also voted the ugliest member of Parliament a few years back.

Corbyn and Labour will get ratfucked in the next GE because Scottish Labour will refuse to purge the dominant Blairite trend in the sub party and thus Labour will be unable to recoup the seats they need to win in Scotland to get anywhere near a majority. Much like how a Bernie government will get ratfucked by all the red state senators who will refuse to end the filibuster and vote for M4A.

Scotland will return near across the board SNP who would never ever let a Tory government happen, which means labour SNP coalition, which is excellent

wait are you telling me the two-week reprieve still has to be voted through or it happens on Friday anyway?

The UK and the EU already agreed to an extension, so under Article 50 the UK leaving the EU is already legally postponed until 12 April 2019.

However, the UK has passed a piece of national legislation that says the UK will leave the EU on 29 March 2019. Now, from an international (incl. the EU) legal perspective, the UK cannot unilaterally change the agreed upon Brexit date, i.e. the agreement between the EU and the UK supersedes that, so the UK is still a member of the EU, regardless of what the national legislation of the UK says.

Given, however, that UK politics are not only perfidious (cf. history) but also extremely stupid (cf. history, in particular the last 3 years), it's conceivable that the UK will not adjust their national legislation. In that case, the UK might think it is no longer a EU member starting 29 March 2019, while the EU, the other Member States of the EU and other state might still consider the UK a member of the EU. This is basically the maximum chaos scenario with the UK becoming the nationstate equivalent of a sovereign citizen.

Has that kind of thing (states B and C think state A is part of a treaty or something, state A disagrees) happened before?

Edit: in the modern world of nation-states, I mean. Obviously all kinds of crazy arrangements happened before then.

Aw.

Fun fact: German's national legislation regarding Brexit still comes into effect on 29 March 2019, including stuff like no longer treating the Isle of Man as EU territory for VAT purposes, despite EU law requiring the Isle of Man to be treated as such due to reasons. While Germany will just not apply their national legislation (because EU law supersedes it in this context), I'm kinda curious if the delay might gently caress over other EU Member State's national legislations for Bexit.

It's a glorious time to be alive.

Probably, but I cannot think of a really good example right now.

The closest would maybe be the question regarding the legal status of the German state in relation to WW2 and the FRG/GDR split, i.e. whether either state is identical with the German Reich or if the German Reich ended and one or more new states emerged in the previous territory. It's a more foggy issue, though, because the international law in that case is less clear-cut then in the case of the EU.

I wonder what option would win if they had a series of 8 or 9 votes, each time saying "Vote for the 1-3 options you would like to see least", and removing it, until one is left. Basically forcing em to make a choice for something.
