Easy, they would toss BoJo on his ass in a vote of no confidence, and they have the votes to do it.

A 2 year extension would give them time to not only hold a new general election but a second referendum. The latter requires minimum 6 months, better if it is 9 months. Granted that was what the first 6 month extension was supposed to be about, and they piddled it away, but a short extension...

So much for the Lib Dems being the Revoke or Bust party.

All BoJo needs is for Parliament to pass some deal -- any deal -- in the next four days and the Benn Act ends. Fans of "No Deal" and idiotic fans of "anything but no deal" could come together to pass May's deal just to get a deal to pass. Then BoJo can run out the clock and get his No Deal...

Had to post it.

Neither Hunter or the company broke the law. Yes it looks bad, but threatening another country to investigate your political opponent is very much breaking the law. The GOP has yet to find a talking point that sticks that isn't proven wrong within hours. Trump broke the law, and broke his...

OK, I'll say it. A Dallas Police Officer murdered Joshua Brown. We will likely never know which one. No, I don't have any evidence, just a very big hunch.

Joe Biden has already been investigated about this stuff, and was found to have nothing to do with Hunter getting a job. Trump wanted a scandal to destroy Biden, despite already been cleared. Reports are that numerous people in the Trump administration warned that the investigation was a waste...

Unfortunately it is all about politics. All the other stuff could be politically framed as "extenuating circumstances" or "executive privilege" or "not enough evidence" This is 1. Clearly illegal, 2. Threatens democracy, 3. Has significant evidence, 4. Has corroborating evidence, 5. Involves...

The only way there can be a meaningful referendum is if the results are binding, meaning that Parliament must agree ahead of time that the results will be what happens. These choices must also be agreeable to EU, which means any speculative choices beyond remain and May's deal cannot go on the...

My own prediction of where this is going. - BoJo will not get no deal brexit on 31 Oct, the deadline will be extended at least a year, maybe even two years. - General Election in November. The pro leave Tories will lose seats to the Brexit party, and the fence sitting Labour will lose seats to...

According to "Phil", the judge requested a signed affidavit to this effect and the Government Lawyer didn't have one. BJ's incentive to send a letter to the EU on time is much easier to break if it doesn't involve perjury.

As a rule. If something is "great" the way it is, there is no point in doing a remake. Guaranteed to fail. (see every single live action remake of disney animated films). If the original is mediocre or "dated", then I'm fine with a remake. Battlestar Galactica is a perfect example...

Of course it will, even though by rule you can't propose the same bill in the same session of Parliament, which thanks to the Supreme Court ruling, this is. It will also prevent Johnson from reintroducing May's plan as a way to circumvent the law forcing him to ask for an extension. The only...

Dead in a ditch means dead in a ditch.

I suggested this idea on another board, and according to someone who apparently knows his stuff, because the Conservatives no longer have a majority coalition, it would fall to Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the second largest party to form one. That's probably a good incentive for Bozo to not resign.

So there is a theory going around that BoJo will propose a vote of no confidence on himself to get an October election, and may have to whip his own party to vote in favor in order to get the votes. If this happens, it may be the most bizarre thing to happen in politics ever! :ROFLMAO: Worse...

Often in Chess, when you make an aggressive opening move, it leads to a quick defeat. If the Brexit Extension bill becomes law, which it almost certainly will on Monday. I would not be surprised to see BoJo resign just as Parliament shuts down again at his own request. It is literally his...

The big two, Conservatives and Labour, are likely to both lose seats and neither will have a majority. This is all because of Brexit and the lack of consistency from the big two. Farage's Brexit party is likely going to do nothing but steal away votes from the Conservatives. Meanwhile, if the...

With all the Tory defections, I guess there is room on that side to stretch out a bit. That depends. If a general election has already been declared, then Parliament will be disbanded, so a vote of no confidence could not take place. If Johnson is legally compelled to request an extension...
