When? The House needs to be sitting, so I can't see how it would happen before September 3rd. After that? Maybe. But depending on who you believe, Labour's internal polling suggests they're not all that desperate to have go fight an election right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted August 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2019 Remainers plot to oust 100 Brexiteers by tactical voting after Brecon and Radnorshire by-election Quote Remainers are plotting to join forces in 100 target seats at the next general election to oust Eurosceptic hardliners and stop the prime minister, Boris Johnson, winning a majority. A leaked document shows the People’s Vote (PV) campaign is mobilising for the biggest campaign of tactical voting ever planned in an attempt to prevent a no-deal Brexit and secure a second referendum. Tories to be targeted include the former leader Iain Duncan Smith, the environment secretary, Theresa Villiers, and Zac Goldsmith — all sitting on small majorities. The leak follows the Liberal Democrats’ win in the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election after the Greens and Plaid Cymru agreed to stand aside and give them a free run at the Tories. But with Labour and the Scottish National Party (SNP) refusing to join a nationwide remain alliance, PV bosses have secretly prepared plans to send money and thousands of activists to key seats. The leaked strategy paper, drawn up by James McGrory, a former aide to Nick Clegg, details plans to tell voters whom to back in 100 crunch contests. It says: “In a general election our objective has to be a simple one: to secure a parliamentary majority for a people’s vote that gives the public the option of staying in the EU. Tactical voting will be a bigger factor than in any previous election fought in the UK.” The campaign has identified 133 marginal seats where “a small difference can have a huge impact” from which a final “PV100” hitlist will be finalised. The document details plans to: ● Contact every candidate in the 100 seats, demanding that they set out their position on a referendum ● Produce a “field mobilisation plan” to put activists “into areas where they can make the biggest difference” ● Draw up “a digital campaign plan for key seats which identifies the types of voters we are seeking to target in them; the messages and issues that will work best to mobilise them” Avoid seats where the two frontrunners are both supporters of a new referendum. Around half of the PV100 will be “attack” seats where Brexiteer Tories might be ousted, and half “defensive” seats where referendum supporters are at risk from Brexiteers. These will include Plaid Cymru’s Liz Saville Roberts, Liberal Democrat Layla Moran and Labour’s Rosie Duffield. In a warning for Labour, which remains split internally over the merits of a referendum, the document says: “In marginal seats where the Labour candidate does not support a PV on any Brexit outcome, we will not give them our backing. But we recognise that we will be asking some of our supporters to ‘hold their noses’ and vote for a party they dislike. “We hope this will be a one-off based solely on the importance of securing a democratic people’s vote on this, the most crucial issue of our generation.” That could mean backing a small number of Tories where they support a people’s vote. The leak comes as Ian Blackford, the SNP leader in Westminster, wrote an open letter to the leaders of the other parties, urging them to join “a cross-party summit over summer recess to try to stop Johnson taking Britain out without a deal”. ● Avoid seats where the two frontrunners are both supporters of a new referendum.

The Sunday Telegraph reported that he said in a meeting last week: “They don’t realise that if there is a no-confidence vote in September or October, we’ll call an election for after the 31st and leave anyway.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted August 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2019 I would post the telegraph article but have to subscribe to read and don’t want to taint my email... However from the brief summary, does he not realise that power is within the legislative, not the executive and thus as what they did with Theresa May force Boris to go back to EU to ask for a further extension for a General Election? They are now simply going down the threatening path aren’t they? Morons, absolute morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are potential difficulties with this, though. I don't think that we should just assume that because it happened once, it will necessarily happen again especially as there may not be quite the same opportunity as before (so they may have to manufacture one).
