I'm really not sure Boris has the momentum he hopes he has. Parliament is going to be extremely angry with him if he doesn't. So either that's bluster or he's in for some real poo poo once it comes back.

But given this is Big Brain Dommy we could also assume this polling is fake and he's trying to trick the opposition parties into thinking there's blood in the water.

Ok so apparently: quote:Once a bill has completed all the parliamentary stages in both Houses, it is ready to receive royal assent. This is when the Queen formally agrees to make the bill into an Act of Parliament (law). So Stick Woman will call the chambers together and that's when we found out if the Benn no-deal bill has royal assent and is actually a thing.

ronya posted:is there much of a network effect, really? there's nothing stopping drivers or customers from having ten apps on their phone. the value-add to drivers of being able to suggest customers who will bring them closer to a particular point is an end-of-shift thing It’s surprisingly difficult to create a challenger. I keep pointing at China because it’s currently the world’s largest ride hailing market, where despite a concerted political effort last year to unseat DiDi and a lot of support from various government factions, they are still reported as having 90%ish market share - and every new safety measure is another barrier to entry. Similarly Uber and Lyft in the US are probably not going anywhere soon.

If he doesn't go to jail the consequences will be far worse for reasons beyond brexit. That's not a precedent we'll come back from

Barry Foster posted:Those numbers don't seem nearly bad enough though? Unless I'm not getting something "Not bad enough" in the sense that you would expect the public to chuck these clowns out on their arses after so many years of colossal gently caress ups, yes. Unfortunately both the public and FPTP are poo poo, so if the Tories get around 30-35% and Labour get around 25-30% (as current polls suggest) then you'd expect the Tories to get a good majority. Which seems to be the calculus for calling an early election. If he does worse than May he's not only hosed his chance of ramming legislation through, but he also looks like a complete idiot, even if the Tories end up as the largest party.

A lot of tories put their careers on the line to tell him to gently caress off, if he tells them to gently caress off right back I really cannot see it going well for him, every second he's in office he burns credibility with his party.

thespaceinvader posted:Seriously, this sets a hideous precedent if he defies the law and gets away with it. It's basically 'prime minister = dictator'. If you can ignore parliament whenever it suits you then parliament is an advisory body at best And I'm genuinely worried the no-spines will gently caress the future by not taking action. To the lunatic right it'd look like a coup (even if it's literally the other way round) Edit even with the rebel tories I worry 'literally chucking the PM in jail' is a step too far for them
