It absolutely was, lol. This is one of those Epstein things where the official story is the out-there conspiracy theory.

Is it a bit weird to anyone else that our elected officials are now regularly going on live TV to say they don't want elections anymore

I mean what if one of them was to do something like I dunno suspend Parliament so they could force something on the country I would quite like to have a say on something like that

An extension pretty much should come with a general election anyway. The EU won't have a lot of interest in another kick of the can without potential sea change in Number 10.

That chanting must have been so much louder in person given it was being picked up on his mic.

Such a result would imply the SNP taking all but seven seats in Scotland. I wonder which.

I guess the real question is, though, would the LDs genuinely go into coalition with a No-deal Tory government?

I think he's hosed it. The fact is that you have to appear to be confident if nothing else, and now Boris has shown he's nothing but air in a suit.

I knew you would, but I’d do the same pal.

He really has hosed it, and it’s going to be enjoyable watching the media scrabble around trying to have him appear as strong. Honestly, unless he visibly shat himself I don’t see how he could have looked dumber doing that.

I think he wants folks to love him. I am not even joking in a twisted way I am sure that Boris is trying desperately to get everyone to love him. But he's finally happened into what he thought he wanted, and it isn't filling the hole inside of him.

Yes, this was masterful. He wants to be seen as the cheerful can-do king. Watching his oratory disintegrate, and showing how unpopular he is completely destroys the reason why he was there. If clips get shown later there is going to be a roar of "Stop the coup" overtop.

Nah. A party needs somewhere between 320 and 326 seats to command a majority. Neither the Tories or Labour are competing in NI, so if they don’t hit 320+ in GB alone, that’s a hung parliament.

e: 650/2 does not equal 625
