imo this LD A50 thing is good for Jeremy Corbyn. Their core voter base are big brained very rational adults who are obsessed with compromise and decorum, very few of whom will openly back totally ignoring a referendum (& as someone already said, the ones that would aren't voting Labour anyway). The move just exposes the core hypocrisy of the LDs' position.

Plus this move is very obviously in response to Labour backing a second referendum, and attacking Labour Brexit policy for being too Brexitey when it's exactly what the LDs were calling for until seconds ago is such transparent horseshit that, again, the only people who will buy it are rabid smoothbrains.

"voting Lib Dem out of principle" :laugh:

LD core base will like the A50 thing, I don’t think any of them particularly care about the principle of respecting the referendum.

For the rest of it, politics is tribal. Most people who will vote LD right now aren’t doing it based on a detailed reading of policies or the overwhelming personal charisma of Jo Swinson, they’re doing it because they are horrified by the Tories and nervous of Labour under Corbyn for various reasons, from “he’ll take away what I have” to “he’s the second coming of Adolf Eichmann”.

None of those reasons bear scrutiny but I’ll bet on the early heat death of the universe before I’ll bet on my fellow countrymen being reflective enough to spot that.

No they won’t, nobody believes they’ll get a majority so revocation is a non entity.

It’s a desperate attempt to remain relevant and won’t work.

While seeing Boris led out of Number 10 in cuffs would be extremely funny, I feel like it's only a very short time before this becomes FBPEs' next big cause and all the joy is taken out of it. A procedural hail Mary that they can fantasise over as the forces of law and righteousness rescuing us all, that will never actually happen.

Nah the policy will split the right wing harder than it'll split any Remainers - post 31st there's reasons to vote Brexit Party and lib dems but only tribalism to vote Tory because they aren't going to outdo either side on Brexit and are still just awful domestically.

This is actually really good because it's the lib dems that will try and weasel out of an election once they've got an extension again.

Its also really bad for the lib dems because this escalation strategy may be pulling Labour but it'll end in them having to have rejoining the EU as a policy platform after we leave and that's going to be a disasterious approach for them.

So Johnson is definitely going to ask the EU for the border in the Irish Sea, present this as a ‘new deal’ that excuses him from asking for an extension, obviously lose the vote on the deal, and then crash out without a deal, right?

The real problem, which I suspect was Big Brain Jo's plan all along, is this definitely rules out an electoral non aggression pact with Labour. Prior to this move I reckon there was a decent chance of that happening given that pressure would be overwhelming to prevent the remain vote splitting and letting the Tories win despite their leader being repeatedly publically humiliated/in prison. Now it's impossible for Labour to consider such a pact, and the single issue remain voters - of which there are more than enough to swing the result - will flock to the Lib Dems and likely swing the result.

Of course the big unknown is what Farage will do in a post extension election. BoJo will have to explicitly promise No Deal to get him onside, which I guess he might, depending on exactly how the extension actually happens

Terry knows what he can do with his bloody chocolate orange...

The lib dem policy is, as far as I understand it, we'll revoke a50 IF WE GET A MAJORITY. Now, seeing as how I'm as likely to get a majority as the lib dems are, everyone knows it's an empty promise. What they're positioning for, imo, is going into coalition with the moderate tories again and keep trotting out their bulllshit 'we moderated the tories!' line when we get whatever the moderate tories decide we'll get on brexit - probably a 2nd ref with remain vs no deal vs some sort of poo poo deal so that everybody involved can appear to support one stance and play to their base.

They would already have done this if it was gonna happen. The lib dems have claimed to be the remainiest party ever for a long time, but the fact that they are liars and tories, plus the fact that they won't win an election and can therefore promise the moon on a stick works against them

If we're down to the wire, like there's a week until we crash out and Johnson has somehow managed to weasel out of getting an extension and there's no time to push through a VONC, what do we reckon the odds are at that stage of all the other parties just saying gently caress it and pushing through legislation to immediately revoke Article 50?

Zero. I'm not even sure Labour would whip for it and even if they did there's a substantial amount of Respect The Result fucknuts who would rebel, plus I doubt you'd get most of the former Tories on board with revocation.

Not sure honestly. I can imagine Labour maybe coming around to that position if they thought they could win it. Though equally they might bargain on NDB loving the tories. Unfortunatley the nature of parliamentary politics means it's very unlikely even the best labour MPs would actually suffer material consequences of NDB other than electorally.

Some of them I think would back it for sure, those in strong remain constituencies, but whether the party as a whole would is hard to say.

Also the tories would be pretty unlikely I think. It might possibly squeak through if the lib dems can stop being contrarians for a moment and the cuktigs can get off their arses and some of those tory rebels with nothing to lose get on board, but that's a big ask.

Also depends what happens in the next few weeks, whether we get more tory defections, whether/what the yellowhammer documents say.

I don’t know, I think Corbyn has a perfectly reasonable chance, if he campaigns well and manages to divert the topic from Brexit as much as possible, of hanging on to second place.

Or, if you want to dream, he could even adopt a defensible Brexit strategy and be in contention for winning.
