The question is, are enough of the politicians going to work together to stop no-deal brexit ( or even just cancel it altogether) ? Jo Swinson: Clarke and Harman prepared to lead emergency government https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49367612
don't listen to Joe Swinson allan. and deffo dont listen to people who tell you Joe Swinson should be listened to. she *cough* represents a constituency that has a v,real chance of leaving the union. ie, she has a v,real chance of loosing her job if Corbyn gets the big job.
She seems to be making a lot of noise recently, likes Corbyns idea but not with him leading it I gather. How would it work, would all MPs lose their jobs straight away if Scotland went independent.
no more noise than normal. it just gets broadcasted more because of, you know what. Mate, can i give you some friendly advise. stop questioning the news and start questioning who pushes the "News". or better still, just avoid the news altogether re Brexit. a week away and i can see nothing has changed. this was all the catching up i needed. . Jeremy’s plan has however already been shot down in flames by Jo Swinson. The only thing that remain voting Middle England dislikes more than Brexit is the idea of Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street. There’s no way that Tory in drag Jo is going to be seen to back a Jeremy Corbyn government. Not even if it’s to prevent a no deal Brexit. Not even if it’s time limited. Not even if he’s going to be prevented by parliamentary arithmetic from introducing the left wing measures that he’s promised his supporters. Jo has instead suggested that the temporary government be headed by Harriet Harman, because it’s up to Jo Swinson to decide who gets to be the leader of the Labour party. . The reason for the refusal is twofold. Firstly it’s because Jo has her eye on Tory – Lib Dem marginal seats in the snap General Election which is widely predicted, and Jeremy is as toxic with Tory voters as the Lib Dems were with students after they did a U-turn on tuition fees. A U-turn which Jo voted for. It’s going to be very difficult for the Lib Dems to attract the votes of remain leaning Tories, who do actually exist, if they have been seen to prop up a Jeremy Corbyn administration. Secondly it’s because Jo knows that the price of a temporary Corbyn administration which also requires the backing of the SNP is another Scottish independence referendum, which buggers her career. You can’t be a party leader in Westminster when you represent a seat in a country that’s independent of the UK. It’s only referendums which produce a result that Jo doesn’t like that ought to be rerun. The Lib Dems want a government of national unity, but only with those people that they think it’s politically advantageous to unite with. So that’s the Lib Dems there, putting the interests of their party ahead of the interests of the UK as a whole. They certainly learned the lesson well when they were in coalition with the Conservatives, didn’t they. “We haven’t got time here to muck about with people’s egos,” said Jo as she burnished her shiny ego. . Time is running out here. If there is to be a grouping in Westminster which can oppose a no deal Brexit, it is only logical that it should be led by the leader of the opposition. Parliamentary arithmetic alone means that Jeremy Corbyn will not be able to introduce any measures which don’t enjoy cross-party support. Even a number of Conservative remainers is willing to meet with Labour to discuss the idea, yet Jo Swinson and the Lib Dems are still set against the idea. The way Westminster works is that if a government fails to win a vote of no-confidence, then it’s the leader of the opposition who has the right to try to form an administration. If he or she can’t, then there’s a general election, that’s how it works. It’s not up to Jo Swinson to decide who the leader of the opposition is. It’s not up to a minority politician like Jo Swinson to unilaterally rewrite what passes for a British constitution. But then we’re talking here about a politician who preaches Liberal Democracy but practises neither. Her refusal to countenance doing a deal with Labour only makes a no deal Brexit more likely, and that in turn makes it even more likely that Scotland will turn to independence as the only means of escape. Jo Swinson’s selfish short-termism is yet another nail in the coffin of the UK. Be careful what you wish for, Jo.
lol, I think I’ve got myself addicted to looking at the BBC and SKY, then working out if it’s actually a news item or just someone’s opinion or total cr4p. I’m waiting to see what the outcome of this game is, personally I don’t think the U.K. will leave the EU, but it’s fun seeing how the politicians go about it.
Fun, fun ? Sophie you got some weird take on humour mate, that Orenz has fvcked you over in more sense than one. He needs interviewing.
I am that's a given, but you have gone from just being a good all round participant to a fun loving political troll, forgive me if that's out of order but we know who's to blame.
Don’t know about ever being a good all round participant, or a fun loving troll. Nothing to forgive though. I don’t know where I stand anymore, I like these type of threads as they make me think and lead me to things I’d otherwise not have read. Often I’ll read a post and think I agree, only to read responses to it that make me doubt myself. Perhaps I shouldn’t have said fun - didn’t mean that literally.
