    It's supposed to be a short delay and a general election on Mays defeat? This farce is going to run on forever.


    Will a general election really do any good?


    Unless there's a massive swing towards candidates that are ultra pro or ultra anti, then we're going to end up back in the same place.


    And if we end up with such a parliament, today will seem like a picnic in the park.

    I honestly don't know, all the choices are bad at this stage.


    Maybe if we can get Labour in, we'll stand a better chance of having Tory infighting from holding everything up.

    Oh naughty majority in parliament, how dare you seize control :eek:
    I have never known such levels of anger and disgust at our political class as exist now. Remain-backing MPs seizing control of the House of Commons agenda this week marked a new low.

    I've been a Labour supported all my life but I'd have a terrible dilemma if it came to putting Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott in positions of power. If someone like Alan Johnson had taken the reins, the party would have walked it.

    Nope. Never was going to be an easy way of parting. Not just political dogma in the HoC but across the EU as well. Sums up why it'll never work. Too many entrenched differences for everyone to become a homogeneous european.

    Another humiliation for the worst PM this country has ever seen. Surely she is toast now.

    Going forward IMO -

    Best bet for labour - second referendum
    Best bet for tories - general election

    I am not interested in what's best for Labour or the Conservatives and I keep repeating that's the fundamental issue with Brexit. People think it's about the 2 parties and it isn't.

    People of all political persuasions for whatever reasons they had; not all racism, not all xenophobia, not all stupid, not all rich, not all poor, decided that they no longer wanted to be part of European Union and therefore they gave their vote in a referendum accordingly. A due democratic process.

    The face that self serving wasters in Parliament cannot deliver is absolutely outrageous and they should all be sacked.

    I asked https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=75637859&postcount=2126 but nobody answered most just continued to provide spout vile froth.

    I don't want to veto anything, I just want a fair vote on the EU and you know it wasn't fair. That is why you keep trolling.

    There was a fair vote it was called a referendum.

    Would you complain about general election manifesto and also say you weren't informed?

    I could troll if you wanted but I am trying to hold a reasonable discussion but you keep veering off into aggressive, vindictive, snipes and avoiding the real subject.

    Why are Parliament, not May, unable to deliver the will of the people?

    Because there isn't a "will of the people". Unless you truly believe that all 17.4M voted leave for exactly the same reason.


    Do you honestly think that leaving without a deal would (will?) make them all happy?

    The Brexiter's cheeks sting with the salty hot tears of humiliation!

    How they have gloated these past years.

    How they have puffed their chests!

    And now they collapse like soufflee.

    Don't get too cocky. No Deal is still a distinct possiblility.
