It'd just compound the constitutional issues that have been woken up and make his dictorial desires more obvious while hopefully parliament still has the authority to do something about it.

Do you have a single fact to back that up? I actually started replaying deus ex recently and it's such a good goddamn game, especially for how old it is. I really want just a small gameplay update to it to bring it a little more in line with a proper FPS but keep all the other poo poo the same. Especially the dialogue, that can never be improved upon.

Is bloodstock like a music festival for carnivores or something? E: I also just realised that only really works if you're actually northern cos it doesn't rhyme otherwise.

As far as I understand it you can be PM without being MP, so that might not work. Also it's "becoming a MP" and he is already. The and part is also not clear: is it only if you are in prison at that moment? (I mean this from a strictly legalistic POV, obviously having the PM in prison is a pretty dumb idea which means it will now happen).

Not true as far as I'm aware, you can definitely do it as a lord, and I'm not sure if you even need to be in government at all. e: Ok I'm blind you said can, not can't. On the rest though I'm fairly sure going to prison for a year is actualy the only way to formally sack an MP.

also while it's a fun propoganda exercise to say boris's majority is negative forty odd, the tories he kicked out will vote with him for the foreseeable on the extremely solid basis they'll be let back in next regime change or sooner. and even if they aren't getting let back in they still don't want an election.

We have our street stall tomorrow and trying to get exactly straight and 'word perfect' on Labour's brexit position because it's bound to come up! My understanding is that if in a position to do so, Labour will negotiate the best possible brexit that doesn't f*k the citizenry because we can't ignore the fact that 17.4m voted to leave. BUT Labour will campaign to remain because actually that is the best outcome. This is Em's position from last night and also the tweet posted earlier. However, when I go to the Labour policy website, it still says campaign for remain over no-deal or tory deal. It doesn't say 'any deal'. Are we 100% sure that Labour will campaign for remain even if they have negotiated the deal on offer? I thought it was campaign for remain over any deal including one Labour negotiate, but need it cast iron. Our stall-personners tend to watch the BBC and trust the Graun. I know Welsh labour will be campaigning for remain.

I would expect labour to remain netural in a hypothetical their deal vs remain referendum. Y'know like the government's supposed to do because that's literally the point of a referendum??? With individual MPs free to advocate however they want. Labour do need to put out a concrete position on that though if it's gonna be part of the campaign.

I think the idea is that the leadership will create a referendum with two decent options, and then sit back and let everyone else campaign as they choose (which may include members of their own party). Otherwise, it isn't a proper choice. Basically, the idea is to bring about a situation where either leaving or remaining is fine, and everyone can pick their fave.

peanut- posted:I think his best chance by far is to resign and let Corbyn deliver the extension request to the EU, then fight the election as leader of the opposition. Personally I think that between having to seek an extension, being granted an extension, accepting the extension, and passing a bill codifying that extension into law, there’s more than enough wiggle room for them to force a no-deal exit.

It'll be odd to see them vote with the government if they do a VONC or a 51% Election bill. I do wonder if there will be enough labour rebels to get 51% for a VONC. We live in a strange world though.
