If the big screen was actually a giant wall of CRTs and set into a concrete wall, jo swinson would make a perfect 1970's supervillain.

Jo swinson go on evil genius 2 with your doomsday project being to accidentally brexit.

Maybe I'm biased by my family but it's surprising to me that people don't just scream at you to gently caress off if you knock on their door without delivering them something.

If you are delivering they wait till you give them the package before screaming at you to gently caress off, of course.

I am not entirely certain, and believe not. But then there's the legal question of "what if they do so without asking parliament, and the EU agrees, but the supreme court LATER rules it unlawful"

I suspect that it would have to be revoked by the same process it was invoked, and it was invoked via an act of parliament IIRC.

Not least because the PM cannot unilaterally overrule an act of parliament.

Okay but can we agree that if say....PM Corbyn cancelled Brexit.

His opponents and some supporters would probably condemn him for the rest of his life. But would a parliamentary majority be willing to start up article 50 again? Or would they just be content to be rid of this hot potato?

Brexit is a poison chalice so I doubt any politician worth their salt would want to do it, but idiot fringe parties desperate for power would probably bang the drum on it.

Also in that instance the tories would be an idiot fringe party.

I don't think it's particularly meaningful to ask what would happen if a Labour government did something it's pretty much said it won't do.

I mean, people would still wail and gnash teeth if a second referendum returned remain so it is sort of relevant.

No, but it makes boris look less like a loving moron when farage is frothing and biting his pint glass.

Should labour pull off a win in this election would Corbyn's agenda be hobbled by blairites?

I think if he wins the election the left is going to be much stronger than it has been hitherto and there's likely to be hell to pay if people don't get in line. Like labour actually wins a majority and you're still working against it? Not a good idea, I think. Though I still don't think he'll try any purges, but the party itself I think is likely to move further left over time as MPs are replaced.

Not saying that as an attack on Labour, but I have little patience for people who will try to re-litigate this election in the coming years by blaming it on the media or Farage or whatever if Labour loses.

The left should really appreciate the importance of this election, it's either now or never.

I strongly disagree, it is now, and always. You don't pack it in because you either won or lost.

I had a read through his thread and I'm still none the wiser as to why free hospital parking is a subsidy to the rich, other than that poorer people are less likely to own a car

is there a cut-rate parking scheme for low-income people?

do poor people not get ill?

do their families not visit them?

Probably some dumb poo poo about "well unless you means test it rich people will use it too and therefore nobody should get it" written with the intent, of course, of denying it to poor people.
