They know it's over.

If Mr Corbyn is true to his word about taking no deal off the table then we're not having an election until the next legally required one (2022) as that's the only way to guarantee it not happening and this deal isn't going through either.
But it never really began...Quote:

I wonder how granular the nit-picking will get before they actually have to do something.
What's the plan then? Get into government without the DUP prop-up, give them the two fingers, and go back to this current deal? How likely is it to happen?
I think an election is very unpredictable. The Tories are shite but at least have some clear direction under Johnson; Labour are a total shambles; and the Lib Dems have gained popularity as a Remain rallying point but are still as mad as a box of frogs. It could go in any direction but the government will be hoping for a majority which would then pass his deal.
If there is no majority or possible coalition then, well....
Boris Johnson being rewarded with a decent majority after all this... I think the subsequent CHIMP OUT might top the lot.
It would be pretty lolworthy if all this fannying about resulted in Bojo sitting pretty on a bigger majority than they've had for two years. Surely Comrade Corbyn would be ushered into the basement if that came to pass.
Corbyn would get destroyed. The Lib Dems / Greens would inherit the Remain voters and Farrage has already promised to gift the National Front voters to Borris in order to get Brexit done.
Corbyn, the stopped clock that he is, is bang right to be avoiding an election at all costs.
I'm not sure I'd want this outcome, but were he to get a majority, bin the deal off and just go straight for no deal I would need the roflcopter.
Which is of course, why there won't be an election.
Got half way through the DUP speech in the house when I realised he was talking about sending 'goods' not 'coons'.
He'd never do that. I work on the assumption that Boris's main concern is his own place in history, and if he did that he would assume a position somewhere between Nick Leeson and Jack the Ripper.Quote:

Quite the mixed bag.Quote:
Leeson was appointed commercial manager of Galway United F.C. in April 2005, rising to the position of general manager in late November 2005. By July 2007 he had become the club's CEO[26] but in February 2011, Leeson resigned his position.[27] He still deals in the stock markets, but only with his own money.[26] In June 2005, Leeson released a new book, Back from the Brink: Coping with Stress. It picks up his story where Rogue Trader left off, including in-depth conversations with psychologist Ivan Tyrrell. In 2013 he appeared in Celebrity Apprentice Ireland on TV3.
Mental health and white collar crime? Sounds a riveting read.
Heard on the radio you lads are getting an election :drool:
Maybe we should just elect Trump too.
I struggle with deciding which set of twats I think are the least-worst at the best of times but this one's gonna be a doozy.
Spoilt ballot again from me.
Aye, I'm sick of this. Somebody revoke this bollocks.
If there was a neutral party that wasn't also a hotbed of student Marxists I would vote for that. As it is, I'll think about it for a month and then vote Tory.
Greens here.
I genuinely don't know at this stage.
Now I've remembered Dominic Raab is my MP, so it might have to be Lib Dem.
Be interesting to see if it makes any difference in my area as it's Corbz land. I can't see him losing much of the vote.
Is there definitely going to be an election or is it at the vote about a vote so they can have a vote for an election stage still?
Portsmouth South is some Labour dickhead (whose office door is yellow to fool the fools around here into thinking he isn't a communist), but he only won it last time off the Conservatives by about fifteen-hundred votes. My vote might mean something this time then. :cool:
Lib Dems will gain in London I think but not by enough, Labour's operation there is pretty watertight at the best of times. The test for Corbz is how much of his 2017 rich educated vote stays with him and how much goes to the Lib Dems. People who primarily hate Brexit will do the latter, people needing to stay on the dinner party circuit will probably stick with Labour.Quote:

Those could go Lib Dem in droves if Cummings drives the message too much at referendum leavers.
Election will be confirmed tomorrow for 12/12.Quote:

I will continue to not vote.
I've just ordered ten-thousand 'It's Cummings Home' hats and as many badges.
Don't make me think about how funny it would be if he walks away from the year's antics with a 30 majority.
Walks away to get his operation done, writes the greatest victory lap blog in world history from his hospital bed, and then comes back in the New Year to smash the civil service to bits.
I'll vote Lib Dems but it won't make a dent over here. Fucking students and their 'NEVER TRUST A TORY' window dressings. Just give the woman with the awful smile 3 minutes of power to revoke Article 50 and then immediately cave into another election. Job done.
Unless revoking Article 50 requires some kind of voting process amongst the MPs. Then life is forever stalemated.
lol at believing a Lib Dem will follow through on anything.
I'm not sure why you two are blowing Cummings? Everything he's strategised so far has been absolute turd. Boris is twice as popular with the party as Cameron ever was and the only reason he hasn't had to resign or give up government is because the opposition are a bunch of absolute incompetents.
This is something that Twitter wants to believe, rather than something which is actually true. Remember a month ago when they were in a massive hole and Lady Hale was donning them? Yeah.Quote:

They think he's cool in the same way the kids at maths camp think the one kid who doesn't have an inhaler is cool, as far as I can make out.
Did he really have a choice after saying for ages he wanted one and then was only refusing it until an extension was agreed/"no deal was off the table", which it now is?Quote:

Everything he has done since becoming Prime Minister is aimed at making him look like the only person actually doing something. It's what all the Twitter dickheads have missed lolling at him for missing his own deadline. So what? The point is he had a deadline, and people don't blame him for having missed it.
People who already agreed with him and would have voted for him anyway still like him. Master strategy.Quote:

For what it's worth I think Boris has done alright since coming in, but it can't be overstated just how bad Corbyn is. Labour don't even have a coherent approach to Brexit.
Other than the commie fan boys (and surely they must be getting fucked off now) I don't know who is going to vote for them.
I mean, if I was allowed, I'd still vote for them.
