Brexit

[Juggz]

It's not inconceivable that that is their plan to ensure they leave 

Rees-Mogg has announced the motion for the General Election will be on Monday's Commons agenda. Again. The no-deal bill passed yesterday has not yet cleared the Lords, you will notice. Utter cuntery.

[Emphyrio]

I know the Lords can veto it, but are they likely to? What's their make-up compared to the lads in the commons?

[Pedrito]

Supposedly not veto it, just wade through another 80 bills in the 3 day timeframe before coming to it, 3 days being the cut off point for it to get through.

[Emphyrio]

Ah, ok.

Where is Nigel Farage in all of this? Aren't we all here because of him? No sign of him. He was either serious or was a massive troll, or both. Campaigns on leaving the EU, wins then leaves a crushing domino effect which bizarrely is taken up by even more idiots. Point the finger at Johnson all you want but it's Farage who lit the fire. Where is he now?

[Pedrito]

Brexit party which won a tonne of the votes in the European elections and has 29 seats in Brussels. He's licking his lips for an election.

[Juggz]

Yep, if the Brexit party run candidates they could wipe out the Conservatives who have also aligned themselves to the "Brexit and/or Death" policy.

[Pedrito]

The only thing with European elections is that people tend to vote differently there. Just look at Ireland. Ming, Mick Wallace(gangster) etc who get voted in but then when it comes to electing a government people are far more prudent and conservative.

The Brexit party does well as a protest vote in Euro elections but the jury is out as to whether that would transfer into members of parliament. Certainly UKIP has no members of parliament and yet was the largest UK party in the European Parliament which hints at some strange flaw in the way we are running elections or maybe not?

[Juggz]

Opposition parties have agreed not to support an election. What will Boris do now?

[Emphyrio]

Is that until the bill against a no deal Brexit is passed? Or regardless?

[Juggz]

Regardless, for now. The current bill only covers the 31st of October deadline. Once the election is called, it has to be completed within a certain time, I think, because he has to ask the Queen to dissolve that government so a new one can be formed, so Parliament can't sit until after the election takes place. That might have gotten them to the current deadline but, until the opposition are sure he can't have Parliament not sitting through the deadline, they're not playing ball.

[Emphyrio]

Does there have to be a majority for an election to be called? Or can Boris just dissolve parliament

[Juggz]

They run a fixed-term system there. He needs two-thirds in support or he has to suck it up.

[Emphyrio]

So in theory, assuming this motion against a No-Deal passes, and Boris doesn't get enough Ayes to call for an election, could that completely tie his arms in his negotiations with the EU? As in, he would be forced to negotiate a deal, as a No-Deal is outta the question.

[Wiseblood]

Correct. I'm sure there'll be a few more twists along the way though.
