skaboomizzy posted:they were trying to make people register if they wanted to watch porn, right? that's pretty normal This is the second porn law, the first one was in 2014 which I only remember because of the awesome face-sitting demonstrations outside parliament. Since then it's been Brexit. They even forgot about austerity, being as they're spending more cash but it's seemingly disappearing between the "tax goes in" and "tax goes to councils" stage. (They're stealing it).

Stoatbringer posted:But yes, getting May and the tories out would be great for many reasons other than just brexit. But whoever won, all they're going to be doing is yet more endless Bexit-related stuff for months if not years and dealing with the fallout from whatever eventually happens, one way or the other. https://twitter.com/andrewyang/status/1092143382078599171 Brexit isn't bad for totemic reasons, it's bad because it will hit the working class like a ton of bricks and the working class are the entire point of everything. A Corbyn government making decisions would help the working class whilst a tory government making decisions would hurt them, saying "Aha but brexit will hurt them regardless of whose in charge" is yeah no poo poo sherlock but it's a matter of degrees and harm limitation. And "the right wing/liberal press will blame Corbyn for Brexit" argument is dumb, they will blame Corbyn for literally everything anyway because all they want is to keep us dirty plebs out of power. We need to get in power, we need a general election to achieve that, we need to fight it and win then fight and win every election after that too. Left wing Labour governance is the only thing that matters. Gripweed posted:If no deal happens and it's as bad as people predict, would any of the political parties support a Breturn? Yeah but only the Lib Dems would immediately. Labour and honestly probably the Tories too would start prepping for it but wouldn't publicly mention it for at least a single term. The problem is that we are currently in the EU on special cushy conditions, the EU would presumably not be willing to replicate those nice terms when we go back to them hat in hand wanting back in and that's gonna cause even more tension.

It's probably not a good thing if 13 year olds are learning what sex is from the porn industry. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

If your kids have hit puberty and you've not taught them about sex you've done a pretty piss poor job as a parent. That's a terrible argument. A better one would be, why aren't we funding sex education better for the kids of parents that are crap at it.

I used to occasionally read Private Eye but gave up because it got a bit depressing, however, now I try to avoide every and all forms of news because over the past 5 years politicians in this country have given up any pretense of attempting to govern the country, in favour of just shovelling cash into their pockets blatantly.420 Gank Mid posted:the first continent they showed up to exploit had a mass die-off kill 90%+ of its entire population because the english, dutch, and spanish were so loving full of pathogens from loving sheep and cows for a thousand years Ha ha ha. you make it sound like it was somehow accidental.

I feel like with the option of "vote for deal, or face to electionshed", may's deal should finally squeak by. Is this an unreasonable thought? It feels like theres finally a threat they actually care about on the table and will jump in line.

Nothing has changed, and it'll fail the next time too.

It feels like theres finally a threat they actually care about on the table and will jump in line. bercow has been quite insistent that she can't keep bringing the same bill forward again without significant change, and the EU has ruled out significant change this latest fudge was literally her leaving half the bill in the wind, which let it get to a vote on procedural grounds. the fixed-term parliaments act means that she cannot make this a confidence vote. even if she gets past bercow, i can totally see much of parliament simply not believing her threat because she's been lying about this constantly for months

She could avoid a no confidence vote by just using a simple majority to repeal the FTPA and introduce legislation making dissolving parliament a prerogative power again. That was in the Tory manifesto anyway, so it has the added bonus of actually giving her a technical win at something.

If that'll lead back to her deal, that'd be a hell of a push to get the DUP on that. Being as they loving hate it. Without them she's hosed without rebel labour support.

It would lead to her being able to call an election without requiring 2/3 support in the commons so it's hard to see why Labour wouldn't be for it.
