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.

Its not a bad play.

Hes not going to be able to govern with a majority of 1 (created by a deal with another party) and going into an election after a chaotic brexit is probably not the brightest idea.

I mean, after brexit has happened whose to say the brexit or die people show up to vote (Other than they're right bastards and it always seems the right bastard vote is out in full force?)?

As much as I like a good stew (and I don't actually) perhaps saving the loving country from the cliff we are very rapidly approaching might be a wise idea.

the current line seems to be "we do want an election but we need to get this bill done first" which I think is concise enough for general understanding

I think if they went for an election right away part of the lib dem message would be that Labour was being reckless so I think its a pretty smart move.

I just want to say I loving called it you cowards I told you from the start that boris was a loving moron who would somehow fall dick first into his own arsehole at the earliest opportunity.

Still wouldn't bet against the public loving it up via the next election / referendum.

But Boris loving it up is entertaining in and of itself so it's something.

Not sure why this is at all surprising? The no dealer gammons will abandon the Tories should BoJo break his solemn promise. This is why it's vital that the election is delayed.

Yeah, seems pretty straightforward to me. Boris promised that Brexit would mean Brexit on Halloween and no later.

If we still don't know what the gently caress Brexit means after halloween then he appears as trustworthy as he actually is.

Aye, but actually having the wit and nerve to obey "Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake" is a skill of its own.

Absolutely. I don't know how Corbyn doesn't end up screaming about the disingenuous shites the media/the conservatives/the lib dems are and how they're loving up the country.

Other than good sense I suppose.

He called for the loving referendum that put us in this poo poo and then loving noped out when it looked like he might have to do a bit of work.

And he hosed a dead pig. Put his hog in a hog. His porker in some pork. He salted the bacon.

I don't find it productive to assume it is doomed to be something I dislike. Despair is like masturbating only less fun.

I think we're in a better spot now that Labour is a leftist party (or messaging left or whatever), current brexit doomsday aside. Voting for milliband felt an awful lot like that picture of him eating the bacon sandwhich.

I can recognise positive things as well.

People who send their kids to private school don't vote labour, they vote conservative.

If mr cannotreadaroom here is being genuine that he would never vote conservative then five gets you five and a penny he votes lib dem.

It is possible to both intend to vote for labour and to also recognise that we live on a hell island of fucknobs who are hell bent on crashing into the largest solid object metaphorically.

Plus the worst case scenario for the no hope crew is vindication.

Do not become addicted to hope thread. It will take a hold of you and you will resent its absence.

It's funny, I was one of the first people in this thread to argue for a second referendum. Maybe the first, it was years ago. Because it was the only way you could reverse the disastrous decision without causing lots of unrest from people outraged that their democratic rights have been trampled on. And being on that tick while idiots like Stephen Kinnock were insisting we had to respect the decision apparently counts for nothing.

I really do hate Fubpees every bit as much as I hate gammons.

It a natural human reaction to detest lib dems.
