My prediction however......

More Tories will vote against the government later today, I think now that the floodgates have opened more will follow and also be deselected from their party. I don't think it will be as much as last night but I think its reasonable to assume one or two will be sacked.

I think its fair to expect that the bill to force the PM to ask for an extension will pass.

Following this he will try to motion a movement for a general election, the outcome of this could be unpredictable, he needs 66% of MPs to agree and I think he will struggle to secure this even with the DUP onside and the SNP voting for it. He could then try to motion a bill to force it through with a simple majority however I also doubt that this could pass.

Really though at this point I wouldn't be surprise if the queen turns up and has Boris and Jeremy fight to the death to decide the future course of the country.

So the first vote in the new bill has passed and it looks like at least another 2 MPs have defied their government, no word yet on who or if they are now also going to face deselection but one would expect that to follow.

So Corbyn bottled the General Election... called for it for 2 years and then when faced with a judgement from the people he sh*t his pants.

So, here's what the traitors have done:

1) Taken no deal off the table, weakening the UK's position in negotiations for a deal
2) Forced the PM to accept if the EU agree to an extension to Jan 20th
3) Forced the PM to bring a longer extension offer from the EU to the house to vote on - which could even be up to 10 years delay
4) Refused to hold a General Election top let the people vote on who THEY want to lead the discussion with the EU (after spending the last 2 years demanding an election)

...and these traitors are actually pretending they have the high ground.

Laughable but also truly disgusting.

A question for the UK folks


If they did have a general election would that have been for PM and the MPs?

MP's.
The PM is not elected by the people - he or she is usually the leader of the party with the most seats (MPs) won in the election.

A poor form of democracy in my opinion. MPs elected by the first-past-the-post system of voting represent only a minority of their electorate in terms of their politcal views. In most case, the majority of MPS were not supported by the majority of voters. This leads to, say, only 35% of people supporting the government of the day because the 65% voted for parties that lost local elections. This is what caused the Brexit crisis: too many Remainer MPs in the House of Commons not representing the wishes of the majority of people in the country who voted for Brexit but only themselves. They have become the enemy of the people and must be removed by a general election -all parties are involved. Next, there must be a referendum to introduce a form of proportional representation to replace the outdated, unfair system that creates minority-supported governments and parliaments that do not reflect the will of the majority of the British people.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT

The people voted in a government on this occasion specifically to carry out

the will of the majority of people on a referendum for Brexit.


The first PM bottled it probably knowing the EU would NEVER allow it.


The second PM was a remainer who wasted three years doing not

the bidding of the UK people, but colluding with the EU on deals which

would keep the UK shackled to the EU.


The third PM prepared to take us out regardless has been hampered and

shackled, not by the EU but by the majority of his own party plus

the other parties........


The people of the UK have been betrayed.....they have no one representing

their interests, They dont have a government.

Yes, indeed - a different view to the majority of the people who voted to leave the EU whose wishes they are simply choosing to ignore and, not just ignore them but to actively seek to frustrate and thwart the outcome of that vote.

Pretty disgusting, no?

Or people who think that a no deal exit would an extremely bad idea and are doing their as elected representatives.

Yes, elected by people who voted to leave. Remind me, how many million people voted to leave and how many MP's are there determinedly trying to prevent it happening?

They were elected AFTER saying they would uphold the vote of the referendum.
