Brexit the economy and house prices part 7: Brexit Harder

LHW99

The populace elected a hung parliament, which requires compromise. (i.e. a soft brexit)

A compromise would have been appropriate at that time, given honesty from all MP's. Now however there seems no compromise possible.
I don't know the full judgement - have they said exactly what law has been broken?

Time for Boris to drop his pride, somehow force Parliament to consent to a GE and form that Brexit Party/Con coalition!

PS was Corbyn's 'Boris should consider his position' statement this morning after the judgment, finally a signal that he'll allow Labour to call that GE?

From a skim read:
* The government failed to give any justification for the length of the prorogation
* As a consequence is was deemed to be "unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification"

Questions questions.
Surely given the court's decision, someone(?) must call for a vote of No Confidence as soon as Parliament resits?
Thereby opening the door for an immediate General Election.....
Or perhaps Boris will throw himself on his sword to realise his Brexit dream? Or was it really all out of self interest?

That would mean the Tories going all in for a No Deal Brexit.
How confident are they?

Maybe it just meant that Boris should consider his position?
Stop playing brexit politics for a moment and reflect on this: The Supreme Court has just found a Prime Minister guilty of breaking the law, lying to our head of state, the parliament and the population as a whole.
He should resign immediately.

This supreme court verdict can only delay Brexit in short term. If BoJo can't deliver Brexit, then Farage will.



Both Labour and Conservatives are riddled with fight between remainers and leavers. Politics in this country will never be the same.

'Consider your position' in politics has only one meaning though Corbyn is the master of ambiguity, true.
The court has made the decision unlawful. That's all. Sorry if that bursts your bubble.

You're willing to dismiss the Supreme Court decision just like that but don't mind reading the tea leaves trying to interpret the utterances of Corbyn.

Talk about lost in Brexit.

Read mayonnaise's opinion that I responded to, if you are prepared to swallow that whole I'm sorry for you.
