Ash Crimson posted:My friend can't you see it isn't over yet? Until we know for certain, there is always a chance some of them will vote with the government. you're not actually providing any reason behind "oh but they might all change their minds", you just keep blindly repeating "well it's possible" people have motivations and incentives to behave as they do, they're not just basing all their decisions on RNG, the rebels aren't all going to back the government tomorrow because they rolled a collective 1 on their Voting Die

I feel like at PMQs tomorrow Corbyn should just refer to Johnson as the member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, since he's hardly even prime minister any more.

He should call him a EU plant, as he managed to get rid of more UK politicians in one day than the EU could in a new regulation.

I haven't been this excited for the destruction of the British Prime Minister since the fall of Robert Walpole (who nearly got hanged for abandoning Europe in the 1730s).

I assume Boris was hoping that the deselection threat would keep most of them in line and he'd be able to look strong by kicking out Letwin and Grieve and maybe one or two others, instead having 21 of them lining up and yelling "bring it"

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49573555 Honestly it seems like the anti-Hard Brexit people are running the table on Boris at this point. If he can't get parliament to do a snap election before the vote, that would be that for his imagined win/win scenario. So in that case the UK would not leave the EU before the election, and it seems obvious that Boris will be slaughtered in an election. Please correct my math as necessary there.

The probable plan of "lose vote, call an election to crush the saboteurs" always had the problem that it relies on him keeping his authority and looking like a strong leader despite a loss but, well, lol.

I'm curious to see how Corbyn not going for a GE will play. I think his reasoning is sound, but it reads a bit funny if you don't know the details of what's going on.

He wouldn't necessarily get slaughtered in an election, unfortunately Even considering the absolute, nearly unprecedented battering he took tonight

There will be plenty of people calling Corbyn frit, but at the end of the day being PM and not being able to even call an election is a really bad look for a supposed strongman leader.

Necrothatcher posted:I'm curious to see how Corbyn not going for a GE will play. I think his reasoning is sound, but it reads a bit funny if you don't know the details of what's going on. I think it will play quite well, going "Sure we'll have one, but you know those politicians they lie all the time, so just let's wait till we get stuff sorted". Even most of the newspapers (with the express and Torygraph obvious exceptions) aren't really "backing" Boris as much as they did. Barry Foster posted:He wouldn't necessarily get slaughtered in an election, unfortunately Oh indeed, but anything that weakens the Tories is good, especially if they do start going a full Cronos and start devouring each other.

Hentai Jihadist posted:i think it sorta depends if the brexit party goes for him and with what angle It'll be the weakness. The Brexit party will be convinced that They can do it. Even if Saint Nige says otherwise. I think Farage, whilst being much better at playing to the gallery than Boris, will end up coming unstuck when put up against the gammony fury of the people he has been coralling for years not getting what they want.
