Alex 34846 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Frankie Boyle was right when he said they’re all worried because they’re going to have to deal with the consequences of their decisions immediately rather than 10 or 15 years down the line when they’re not even in politics any more. Not that that gets them off the hook, quite the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite repeatedly telling Theresa May to do just that. And had they whipped for it then it might have had a chance of passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t deliver a large majority for either side. Three out of the four motions tonight would have passed with Tory whipping. How can the conservatives or labour even produce a manifesto without splintering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4371 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The deserters and libs who voted against the soft options but for the vote need to realise (imo) that a soft Brexit without a vote would be less damaging than relying on a vote which confirmed May or no deal. I'm still convinced the get out of jail remain result is not in the bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21300 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 So 25 Labour broke the whip to vote down Boles. The DUP vted against, as did most the independents, lib dems, and Caroline Lucas. Honesstly what the fuck are these peopple doing? They're driving us off a cliff with this strategy. I fucking loathe just about everybody in parliament right now.

NJS 4371 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 As i said they think a remain revote is the only answer and won't countenance anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21300 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Just noticed by chance Boles lost 48.1 to 51.9% Exactly the same as the referendum. Surely a portent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these are the remain extremists you accused me of being ironically. Meanwhile its clear the tories arent going for a soft Brexit. They're still the party in power so it looks to me that its going to be nondeal unless Labour bottle it and back May. Mad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4371 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I do admit I was wrong on that. I'd take revocation tomorrow personally but still think it's too damaging and as I said I don't think another vote will heal anything whichever way it goes.

What in shit is wrong with this people indeed. As NJS says, they're committed to a referendum or revocation at the expense of everything else. Completely inflexible. I have worried for a while now about an accidental no deal Brexit. Its a distinct possibility as we have extremists on each side grabbing the steering wheel as we head straight for the cliff, with the ERG with their foot on the gas and the brake lines cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9733 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Brilliant that Francois, rather unrelated to the topic*, complained about the ERG getting likened to the German AfD in a BBC program and demanding a public apology only for Rees Mogg retweeting an AfD tweet a couple of days later. Some of these those fascists don’t even pretend anymore... *while Glyn Davies was filibustering a change in law for long time expats to cast votes in future elections and roferindiddums.

Gemmill 44387 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Surely Labour has to whip Cherry's motion on Wednesday. This could be the last chance saloon for formally blocking a no-deal Brexit. What a load of shit this lot are though. Francois going on telly and saying "Up yours" to Hammond btw. That little sweaty fucking dwarf needs a hiding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44387 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 My thick Labour MP went from abstaining last time to voting against a second referendum this time. And abstaining on the revocation backstop. Thick as mince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44387 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The problem is there's no fucking brain power in Parliament. My constituency is 60% Leave, so I can what this dope is doing, but the idea that this is just about doing what her constituents want is madness. If she thinks she's doing the right thing by North Tyneside by edging the country closer to a straight shootout between No Deal or May's Deal, she doesn't deserve to be cleaning the Parliament bogs, never mind sitting in the house of commons.

Alex 34846 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 It’s a lack of courage and conviction as much as anything. I mean how many MPs must there be that have voted against the vast majority of, if not all, options. At some point you have to back something. I know it’s mainly the fault of the Tories and the mongs who still want to leave without a deal etc. but pointing at them if we crash out isn’t going to solve anything. It’s also incredibly ironic how unimportant this issue was to most people before the referendum. Although perhaps even more than that how ill-informed most people still are. Especially many for whom this is now such a big issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the majority of Tories didn't really care about but only a fraction who together with UKIP were able to set the agenda with their nationalistic and xenophobic misinformation remaining unchallenged because of those who now lament their loss of rights didn't know and care about it either. If people have had to pass a knowledge test before being allowed to cast a vote in the roflendum the result would probably have been difficult to acknowledge due to the lack of eligible voters on both sides. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
