I'm reasonably sure at this point that Boris actually wants parliament to stop no deal so he can go into the general election with a betrayed by remainer traitors narrative.

Nothingtoseehere posted:I don't get the point of proroguing parliament then? Otherwise Boris could just wait for anti no deal legislation, then demand an election via FTPA to "defend brexit". Proroguing parliament really pisses off his opponents after that, which you'd think would be worse for turnout in an election than the alternative. Plays well to the Brexiteers whose votes he wants to be pissing off remainers and being seen to do all he can to deliver brexit.

Many local Tory parties have been taken over by Brexiteer ultras so an election is a big threat to a lot of remainer Tory MPs since they face deselection. Whether this makes them cling on to their jobs at all costs and support bojo, or decide they have nothing to lose and so vote to stop him, eh who knows.

Finally caught up with the thread, loving hell. I'm not allowing myself to be optimistic though, I've been burned too many times before thinking Brexit was maybe not going to happen. Oh poo poo ayes have it. Is that an increased majority?

So if Johnson advises the queen to refuse royal assent on the anti-no-deal bill, or if he refuses to ask for an extension at the EU summit, is there still parliamentary time before Brexit day to do anything about it? The idea of Bercow sending Boris to the tower is very funny but I don't for a moment believe it would actually happen if Boris refused to ask for an extension.

Namtab posted:I don't think boris gets to ask the queen to say no to something thats passed parliament. Shes certainly not going to get drawn into a constitutional crisis trying. She only agreed to prorogue parliament because that is a thing she can do, and while its immoral for boris to tine it like this he is within his rights to do so. If I remember right, the wording of the law is that the Prime Minister does the asking. And people were saying that royal assent is based on the prime minister's advice like prorogation is, so there has been talk of Boris getting the queen to refuse it. Hopefully this isn't true, but I'm a bit worried.

Mainwaring posted:Earlier in the week there was a whole thing about tories in the lords filibustering the bill, and some mention that the deal was they'd stop if labour agreed to bojos election. What happened there? Presumably they caved but why? There was a deal reached with labour to pass it but I don't know if we heard any more details than that. I think the real reason might have been it was past 1AM and the tory lords are all a million years old and needed their beds.

It would be in the general election, they would run a Tory candidate against him. It’s also possible to remove the speaker with a vote in parliament, which they tried and failed to do a few years back. They definitely don’t have the numbers for that now though.
