foreveryoung Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Corbyn is funny though. He's seemed to have wanted something we were never going to get. He argues for nothing, even his back benches now realise it. Give it up Corbyn no ones listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't. They can and they are. Just farce anyway. The timetable will get voted down. Government will withdraw the bill, accept the extension and seek a general election. All it is at the moment is posturing. I just hope at least one of them starts making some damn sense soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Our updating spreadsheeter is back at it, with predicted counts for both the Programme Motion and the Customs Union amendment. He's currently got them both to fail, the CU amendment by a smaller margin: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13ghQytueisTWtO12HXvCSyRV_LnPGlDJob8rJWLVKe8/edit#gid=437647932 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only chance to remain the biggest party is for Labour to keep Corbyn as leader. The EU will also only offer an extension if there is a proposed way to break the deadlock. Given the absolute refusal by the government for a 2nd referendum, we will go down to a GE, probably end of November/early December. Even then that will end up in another hung parliament because nobody agrees on anything anymore. It is just going to be seeing who has enough support for their side. Tories will be on their own with possible support from DUP. SNP/LD/PC/Greens will all be on the same page. Whether they can be on the same page as Labour that is going to be the key question. The NI picture will become significant as well, I don't know how well the DUP are polling at the moment, but it seems that they are at an abnormal high? Will they likely lose seats to the other parties? Otherwise we could be seeing the LD becoming kingmakers again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, the separation of NI to the rest of the UK will always be a bad idea to them. However, if the Tories were to promise more money to NI... As per my post though, I do wonder whether the DUP will lose seats in any GE and will not be such as important force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
