Anything is better than this shite. The Brexiteers are terrified that giving the people a second vote will see the vote overturned and they are too keen for it to go ahead to consider it.

Yes, many of us opposed her being imposed on the local party in the first place. We were right, and the blairites who imposed her on us were wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear they may fail in their aim. I thought that filibustering in the Lords was very difficult as interventions could bring about votes on the amendments?

Genie Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) I know VT loves a prediction... Who will win the vote? Go. Bonus point, by how many votes. Edited September 3, 2019 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right that the rules on filibustering are different between the houses, but I'm not clear on the difference. The time requirements may be different as well. I'm not sure what it means for the passage of this bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Still a bit nervous. But hopefully this is good. And the new "worst Government in generations" gets the kicking that it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motion will win by three votes. Edit: That's my punt and not my desire or even my considered view (my actual view is that it'll somehow lose by five).
