the Westminster system usually has stronger party discipline because they use literal whips to keep the MPs in line. MPs are so thoroughly conditioned that they beg to be whipped, and refusing to whip them is equivalent to kicking them out of the party

jeremy corbyn often defied the whip, and was generally considered a reclusive oddball

labour's line is probably going to be "he was threatening to work unspeakable witchcraft to bring about No Deal in the event of an election process, so we postponed it". whether this is going to work, who the hell knows, but you can be absolutely sure that people at labour HQ are losing years of their life over it

the idea is that he get bossed around by Parliament for a bit and then tossed out when he inevitably drags his feet. they're trying to humiliate him and discredit his project. elements of the opposition would also like the Tory party to die a quick but painful death, and having this incompetent bully at the helm might increase the chances of that happening

im not actually sure bojo does.. or at least there are signs that this is just a completely stupid and doomed attempt at brinksmanship. i dont think he cares if NDB happens but i think hed rather be seen to do one over on the EU and get a good deal.

bojo hates hard work and an administration after NDB will be incredibly hard work and then he gets eaten by rioters
any attempt to negotiate with the EU without ceding the backstop results in him just becoming May 2.0 which he will hate worse than being eaten
equally hes very vain and wont want to be britains shortest serving joke PM

i dunno, the only smart option for him IMO is to do a GE in the hopes he wins a majority that doesnt need the DUP then just gently caress them over with the backstop while renaming it the Patriot Britane Strong with the help of the papers

the issue is bojo isnt smart

then theres also the pressing issue that hes been waving the NHS at the US State Department, basically pressing our necks to the vampires fangs and going "haha am i kidding or not?" while their eyes glow red "oh i really shouldnt.... you're my ally in europe but... oh that does smell delicious"

I'm sure the only reason he's not put his feet on the bench yet is that is aware of an obscure parliamentary rule what would allow Bercow to have him flogged if he did.

They have always been going for an election, it's the only thing that can work for them. Points being a) The hardcore (ultra) bit of the Tory party is tiny, and they see this as a chance to pull the entire lot, and the country because the situation is so loving weird. Without the Brexit poo poo they'd be stuck in the same limbo they've been in since I was a kid 30 years ago. b) Someone needs to get the blame for the last 3 years, and blaming it on the other Tories is perfect for them.

It's a heist, pure and simple. And Johnson (never loving call him Bojo) isn't smart, that bastard advisor of his is though. He needs stringing the gently caress up.

To be sure, researchers extracted DNA from the mummy’s big toe and compared it to genetic material from a modern relative, Rosemary Probst-Ryhiner.

Not only was it a match, showing that the woman must have been a Bischoff, but further archival research showed she was Anna Catharina Bischoff, who died in 1787, a direct maternal ancestor of Boris Johnson.

They actually didn't. The most senior peers in the UK are Catholic and have been since the Reformation.
