EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

She has to, if she didn't she'd be tarnished by the shit that'll hit the fan. This way it is all flinging towards BoJo.

It's all building his narrative for an election campaign. The people vs parliament. Its so awful I almost can't bare to think about it anymore. I think we're fucked.

And in order for the opposition to win the electorate, Corbyn probably has to go? Moderate Tory remain voters will certainly close ranks against him, whatever campaign Johnson fights. And, hate them or otherwise, any party or group of parties needs a sway of those voters to win.

And in order for the opposition to win the electorate, Corbyn probably has to go?

Silver lining I suppose.

He won't though.

They won't let him.

Yes - force an election against 'anti-democrats', promising leave whatever, winning back enough Brexit party numbers to get a majority then don't think he much cares - try to get deal through with new majority probably because he won't be left with the worst crap as his legacy.

But he'll get his General Election. So he'll be happy...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-49493333 wow for a change the UUP (the moderate gammon unionst party) is coming out with a statement together with the NI anti Brexit parties...

The DUP is of course delighted with prorogation

Things might be about to get properly batshit ...

The ideas under consideration include:

Attempting to disrupt a Commons debate on Northern Ireland power-sharing due on September 9, a day which could be used by rebels to attempt to delay Brexit described by Johnson allies as a “time bomb” set for them in the final weeks of Theresa May’s premiership.

Whether Johnson would be breaking the law by ignoring any successful rebel legislation, or by refusing to resign in the event he lost a vote of no confidence.

Using a variety of mechanisms including a potential budget to create new Commons debates and further reduce time for rebels to act.

Using the prorogation of Parliament to “kill the bill” by rebel MPs and force them to table it again after the Queen’s Speech on October 14.

Creating new bank holidays to prevent the House of Commons from being recalled during the prorogation period.

Filibustering any bill by rebel MPs attempting to force Johnson to delay Brexit when it reaches the House of Lords.

Ennobling new pro-Brexit peers as a last resort to kill any such bill in the Lords.

What the consequences would be of Johnson advising the Queen not to give royal assent to any legislation passed by Parliament delaying Brexit.

queen resigns and puts king andrew in charge

hahaha

Epstein for Prime Minister!

Parsley for PM

Imagine if the Queen died in the next few weeks...?

That would be interesting

Have got https://tacticalvote.co.uk ready just in case

And this time around, every DUP seat gets a recommendation the other direction :)

I think we're fucked.

This

Too late for Corbyn to go which means everyone left of the Tories is split. BXP no real reason to exist any more.

SF don't take their seats, they are nr2 where I live.

An empty chair is still better than the DUP, vote empty chair! :)

Even better if monarchy as a UK concept died....time to become a republic.

With Ruth Davison quitting I think that if we get Brexit we also get the end of the UK.

Here’s hoping (latter not the former).

Your non-elected PM persuades the non-elected head of state to put the chosen representation of the people outside the decision making process. And the Brexiteers call the EU non-democratic?

"is this sovereignty?"

butterflyman meme intensifies.

If we were a middle eastern country pundits would now be wondering which side the Army is on.

It was half-arsed direct democracy that initiated this mess.

This is just the weird semi-feudal, proto-democratic British system coming to save the day.

Apparently (in fitting with protocol) they lit a candle for the meeting today with the Queen. That’s a thing (?!?!?)

It’ll all be fine. This guy hosted the meeting.
