Conventional wisdom is that this kind of thing hurts labour more but who the gently caress knows with this election. vote splitting all over the place.

Guavanaut posted:This is why Brexit is going to happen. Out of fear. Then what happens when it doesn't deliver unicorns and rainbows? The violent Brexit types will be a lot more bothered by the continued presence of the people they voted to kick out of the country than anything political. Its also something they can see and not have to follow politics to know about. So I'd say their reaction is going to be fairly quick and obvious. Remainers will probably protest peacefully but turn nasty if they get attacked. The tabloids will trigger panic food buying by exaggerating any supply issues which could in turn trigger rioting which will then disrupt supply and self worsen. Its a good time to live out in the sticks. Unless you want to loot a new telly.

Calling it now, we're all going to be sitting in this thread gnawing out fingernails down to the bone waiting for a postal vote tally that ultimately doesn't shift the result of a hung Tory parliament.

Wait, so in his letter to Corbs, Boris says, in effect, 'there will be plenty of time to get Brexit done during the general election campaign period'. Soooooo, how does that work? Parliament won't be sitting.

Looks like Corbyn is going to reject the call for an election, which with the way Johnson is doing this, may not be a bad idea. There's still going to be a push to get his Bill through though, and certain Labour Party idiots are going to back it.

If they say yes before monday then Labour will 100% go for a GE.

Had a Tory canvasser come by no more than 2 hours after Boris' big announcement to ask if I plan to vote for the (current) Tory representative if there happens to be an election.  Still, last election I was living in Kensington and Chelsea and it flipped to Labour by like 6 votes, so maybe I'm a good-luck charm.

Yeah my understanding was that Lab were waiting on the election until we had the extension, meaning Johnson couldn't No-Deal us through some chicanery during said election. So if the EU gives us Jan 31st or whatever then we want the election as well, I thought?

Miftan posted:I thought the EU was supposed to say Y/N to the extension tomorrow morning? If they say yes before monday then Labour will 100% go for a GE. The EU will, but there's talk of Johnson still trying to get a shorter extension in the first instance (November, with then extension going until January in the event it fails to pass) to get the Bill through, and is pushing an election with this still on the table. I don't think the Labour Party will go for it, as it looks like it could be a trap, and even though there are cries of lamestream media every time it's mentioned, there are rumours that even some in the shadow cabinet are pretty wary about an election at this point because they suspect they're going to get hammered. Edit: Greens, SNP and Lib-Dems have all announced they'll be voting against at this stage as well. Pesmerga fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Oct 24, 2019 |
