ewerk 30266 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Is that news? Surely that was the whole reason so many were against a VONC until the extension had actually been agreed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30266 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Aye, if you’re a political spastic like Rayvin. I expected better from the rest of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30266 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I’m not an expert on continental politics but if I were them I’d be so pissed off at his disingenuous effort that I’d grant the UK an immediate extension until 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4371 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I suggested a few pages back he'd send the letter and then send another saying please ignore it - I think the view was that would be illegal. I didn't see the fucking big baby not signing it and sending ihe ignore at the same time but still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30266 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I think it probably is illegal as it attempts to frustrate the Benn Act. However, it’s not likely to have any effect and probably won’t end up in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30266 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Aye, the easiest way to kill this deal is amendments. A CU amendment would see it dead. A second referendum amendment might see it get through. Either way it’s going to be a big week. Definite six pointer. Must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5183 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Kill it with amendments? Is that on the basis that the ERG would vote it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44393 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Aye if you turn it into something they can't stomach. Johnson cutting the DUP adrift looks really bad for him at the minute. Second referendum might even be genuinely back in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44393 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Plus it forces the government to oppose things they've said they'll do - level playing field etc. Bit harder to keep Labour rebels onside if you whip against a LPF amendment.

NJS 4371 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thing is for a second vote, recent polls have been almost all 50/50 give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44393 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I don't think that's right. Only a very small handful of polls since the referendum have seen leave come out on top. The overwhelming majority were for Remain, albeit not by a big margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll of polls has it 53/47 remain with only one poll giving a leave win. It mightn’t be a resounding majority but the polling shows that the public have changed their mind.
