If a GE does happen I don't know how I'm going to handle the lead up to the exit polls. It's going to be too much.

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.

It'd be pretty easy to isolate his audio from the mic so i dont expect the chanting in any further reports.

I mean 620 seats *would* be a majority (and probably the kind of majority Corbyn would need to even begin to enact socialism, what with all the flinching cowards and sneering traitors in the PLP...)

Tbh... As much as all of Englands voters are racists it would make absolutely no sense for the tories to gain seats in any GE atm

I'm completely ignorant on the political makeup of Alliance, is it a comparable centrist group taking votes from the right wing DUP and the left wing SF?

It's a "can't we just get along" liberal grouping that attracts people frustrated by ideology who also lean liberal on social issues and are ambigious on the constitutional question (or just don't prioritise it) - so a good hoover party for moderate unionists alienated by the DUP and some of the wobbly voters SF initially peeled off from the SDLP of the "you can't eat a flag" variety of nationalism.

Basically our lib Dems to be honest though "both sides bad" plays a little better here

The closest he got was being against some of Blair's batshit insane authoritarian surveillance state secret trials bullshit. But he was more than happy to look the other way when it was May doing it.

He was always a right wing poo poo but he is also outspokenly in favour of drug decriminalisation and other libertarian causes so out of context I geuss I could see people reading on of his drugs pieces and getting the wrong end of the stick

How is this not what the Rebels would want? Like they can go (in leave areas at least) "I stopped No Deal, Brexit could still happen but bullying from Johnson has led to this".

They're being threatened with deselection so they'd lose their seats unless they're really really sure that the majority of their constituents would want them to do that and know who they are.

Judging by this Parliament they'll pass the legislation, don't vote for the GE, and we'll all continue as if nothing has happened.

Many local Tory parties have been taken over by Brexiteer ultras so an election is a big threat to a lot of remainer Tory MPs since they face deselection.

Whether this makes them cling on to their jobs at all costs and support bojo, or decide they have nothing to lose and so vote to stop him, eh who knows.
